Planning my first visit to Wacken
Hello fellow metalheads!
I (a male from Sweden) am currently planning my first visit to Wacken as a gift to myself for my 30th birthday next year. Though I am not new to festivals, I have never (and I mean never) camped in any capacity. Due to a back injury and years of nerve pain from it, I am quite worried that the accommodation situation might become a bit of a problem for me, so I have a couple of questions.
I noticed that the vouchers for the Residenz and Moshtel (among others) are sold out - does that mean that it will be impossible to find a spot within those categories when they are released? And when are they normally released?
If that is the case - are there any good local places to stay around Wacken, preferably with shuttle service?
To those who have been at Wacken in recent years with back problems - what accommodation would you suggest? What has worked, what is something that I should look out for?
I am not opposed to share accommodation with strangers if there is any chance that someone has a spare spot. I do not smoke and am not a heavy drinker.
