Boxes wrapped, cables wound up, gifts prepared. O2 Sázavafest begins in a couple of days.
This is the third year that O2 is the titular partner of this multi-genre festival, and thanks to this mobile and data technology will be available not only to organizers and performers, but also to all attendees.
Before it kicks off
Before the festival begins, a series of online interviews with festival organizers and selected artists is being presented at www.o2extra.cz.
Until July 27, all O2 customers can get a 20% discount on the purchase of one ticket; O2 Extra program members can get this discount on two tickets.
Double summer in the O2 Extra Zone
In the O2 Extra Zone around the well-known blue stand with the nickname "Bublina" (The Bubble), visitors will be able to recharge their phone batteries and, while waiting, they can enjoy a drink at the bar or in the garden - even in hammocks. In addition to relaxation, from Thursday to Saturday the zone is running several contests for a wide variety of prizes. Those who succeed in riding a tandem bicycle, playing a racing simulator, and other fun disciplines will be entered into a draw for an Aprilia Mojito motor scooter. In addition to skill and a little luck, membership in the O2 Extra program is a condition for winning the grand prize.
In the area surrounding the O2 Extra Zone, it will pay off to have Bluetooth activated. Over five days, all festivalgoers will be able to download up to ten free ringtones from such artists as Moby, Clou, Monkey Business, and others who are performing at the festival.
O2 Extra Star
In the O2 Extra Zone on Friday and Saturday from 7pm to 8pm, a contest called O2 Extra Star will take place. The winner must demonstrate their ability to do something truly Extra by, for instance, singing a song, reciting a poem, telling a joke or story, etc.
The winner, who will receive the title O2 Extra Star and take home another Aprilia Mojito motor scooter, is always determined by audience applause (there is a soundmeter in the Zone).
All festivalgoers who wish to participate in the contest can register at a special O2 Extra Star table between 5:30pm and 6:30pm.
Every night the stand hosts an evening VIP party:

O2 žluté lázně
O2 žluté lázně (O2 Yellow Spa) is moving from the Vltava to the Sázava for a couple of days. Mojitos, deck chairs, beach games, and top quality music… it's not an expensive trip to the sea, but an idyllic scene set up on a beach not far from Kácov.
O2 Internet Zone
Those who can't stand being offline can visit another O2 stand on the festival grounds where there are computers with high-speed internet connections. There is also an online contest for an SE W705 mobile phone and O2 Internet for one year for free.
O2 Sázavafest on your mobile
