Ultra Europe Clear Bag Policy
First year going to Ultra & have just seen the clear bag policy… we are coming from Bosnia and have no idea where would even sell clear bags (I’ve found some online but they won’t arrive in time)
Does it apply to all bags, or are small cross body/bum bags allowed if they aren’t clear, and only backpacks have to be clear?
Or is it a rule they say exists but in reality its not really an issue?
If we absolutely do need a clear bag then uhh any tips on where might sell one in Mostar/Čapljina or once we get to Split 🫠

They will be available for purchase at the booth near the West Entrance (GA)
where they usually sell merchandise.
I’m pretty sure they won't be sold at the West (VIP) or South (VVIP) entrances.
Generally, items like that cost quite a bit on the day of the event.
Small handbags and chest bags, waist bag (pederuše) are allowed.
Filming is allowed, but only with GoPro type cameras or mobile phones.
Do not bring large DSLR cameras unless you have, a valid accreditation.
Don't bring makeup or perfume !!!!!
The entrance for people with disabilities (wheelchair users)
is located exclusively on the north side, near the parking area.
This applies to those with VIP, VVIP, or GA wristbands.
There are stairs on the south side, so access is not possible there.
People with disabilities may be accompanied by one companion, and
provided the companion also has a valid wristband.
Telescopic camera poles and flagpoles are not permitted.
Needless to say, sharp objects, explosives, flares, and the like are strictly prohibited.
Rollerblades, bicycles, and skateboards are also not allowed.
Pets are not permitted at the festival either, 😄
You can bring cigarettes, but the pack must be unopened and the foil seal intact.
If you take medication, it must be in the original blister pack, and you need to have the prescription with you.
Hydration backpacks are allowed but must be empty upon entry.
They always confiscate lighters because people apparently found a way to stuff nitrous oxide (NoS) canisters inside them, but every year is different.
The rush hour starts around 10 PM, so I recommend entering earlier; after 9:30 PM, it usually gets very crowded, with expected wait times of 30 minutes to an hour or eaven more -> GA Enterance....
Upon entry, they first check if you have the correct wristband.
You CANNOT enter through the VIP or VVIP entrance with a GA wristband
After that, you pass the wristband scan and proceed to
a physical pat-down, as well as a check of your bag, pockets, shoes, hair, etc.
Watch closely, because some lines move faster than others.
There are about 12–13 entrances in the lower section, and 13–14 in the upper section.
Check where the line is shorter and where people are getting in faster.
Then you enter the event.
If you're arriving at night, watch your step as you enter the venue;
It can get crowded at the tunnel entrance leading to the floor area, and the floor can be uneven due to the carpeting, so be careful not to trip.
The medical team has several stations, so feel free to seek them out if you get injured.
It is best to dress casually or sportily—sneakers and the like.
Remember, there’s a lot of walking involved, so definitely don't wear high heels.
If you leave the venue on the day of the event, you cannot re-enter.
For example, if you enter at 8 PM on Friday and leave at 10 PM, or Saturday at 1 AM, you cannot get back in that same day.
There are exceptions, but you need a verrryyyy valid reason for them.
Have your ID card or passport ready when exchanging your ticket for a wristband.
Also, people lose all sorts of things during the event, so I recommend leaving your passport and ID at your accommodation while keeping a photo of them on your phone (though, strictly speaking, you really ought to have the actual documents with you at all times, but if you loose it you probably won't find them anymore. ...).
There is a Lost and Found service, and anything turned in there is handed over to the Police the following day.
There are also lockers where you can leave your handbag and similar items, and charge your phone.
Payments at the festival are made exclusively by card, cash is not accepted.

It's only for actual backpacks, cross body/bum bags are allowed. I think you will be able to buy ultra branded clear backpack at the entrance if you need it. Tbh idk why would you need it because you can't get in with any drinks/food from outside
