Polesitting at W:O:A 2014

Created by WackenHelge
06/19/2014

The legendary W:O:A pole-sitting contest goes into the next round! The ones who stay the longest time on a pole will receive a W:O:A VIP-Upgrade.

 

Rules:

You have to sustain for 6 hours on one of the poles. Except for 10 minutes every 2 hours, the seat may not be left. You can enjoy the festival in a height of 2.5 meters, lean back and let your eyes wander over the festival, while the bands are playing on the Black, True and Party stage.

 

Donations:

Like in the last years companies will take over sponsorships for the poles. For every hour you sustain on the pole they are donating € 10 to the Wacken Foundation. The foundation is a non-profit foundation which dedicates itself to the support of heavy metal music. At the festival you are invited to visit the Wacken Foundation Camp in direct proximity to the pole-sitting. Here you can ask questions about the foundation’s work, take part in the activities or as an artist you can inform yourself about the Wacken Foundation and how they could support you.

 

Again, we will have one pole for people who would like to take a picture or shortly enjoy the view. For a little donation you can climb one of the poles! (for this you do not need to register, just come along!)

 

If you would like to get a place on one of the poles just write an email to polesitting@wacken.com! Please mention your complete name, your W:O:A ticket number, as well as time and day you would like to join the contest. We try to satisfy your wishes as good as we can.

 

The pole-sitting times will be from Wednesday to Saturday; 10.00 h – 16.00 h and 16.30 h – 22.30 h.
