((= Welcome to the Biggest CouchSurfing Party of the year! =)) After a two-year hiatus, the biggest CouchSurfing Switzerland event of the year - with hundreds of people attending - is BACK for Halloween 2017! ((= When & Where =)) Saturday, 4. November 2017 from 8pm until 4am, and on or sometime after your 18th birthday. It takes place in Werk 21 at Dynamo Zürich, the perfect halloween party dungeon by the river. ((= What to expect =)) Whether you're coming as a Zombie or as a fluffy Easter Bunny, a live band and DJs will ensure that you'll be shaking your various appendages on the dance floor all night long. If you get thirsty, our bar will sell you various beverages at very affordable prices. And before you rock the dance floor, get a photo taken of your awesome costume. We'll have a photo corner for scaaary or cuuute pictures. So we have an awesome location, great bands and DJs, fantastic decorations, a photo corner, reasonably priced drinks and, most importantly, the best people possible to have a party with: CouchSurfers :) ((= Music Lineup =)) Like every year, we have managed to organize some great bands and DJs. opening - 22:30: DJ Gosto, Milan 22:30 - midnight: Live band MyMichele, www.mymichele.ch midnight - closing: DJ Prince NYC, https://soundcloud.com/dj-prince-nyc This means a huge amount of partysound to party and get crazy :) ((= Tickets =)) Tickets are 15.- if you come in costume or 25.- without. Along with the proceeds from the bar, they cover the cost of the location, decoration, bands and DJs. We're not here to make profit, and any money left over will be used for future CS events. If you arrive before 21:00, you get a complimentary glass of our signature Blood Punch just for coming to the party. You can buy your tickets before the party - just send the appropriate amount via PayPal to maverick@elemental.ch, we'll put you on the guest list and you won't have to wait in line. Be sure to leave your full name! Also, because space is limited, we cannot guarantee entry even with a ticket if you arrive after 22:00! You can also buy tickets at the party. You can RSVP right here, or go to the Facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/1737066873256523/ ((= Getting there =)) By public transport: Getting around Zürich by public transport is very easy - trams run until shortly after midnight and start again around 05:30, and at night there are buses. Dynamo is only a few minutes' walk from Zürich HB, and the closest tram stop Beckenhof is serviced by tram lines 11 and 14. See a map of the location at https://binged.it/2xmDeuY, and search for a connection at https://online.fahrplan.zvv.ch/. You can buy a 24-hour ticket for around 8.40.- at the ticket machines you can find at each tram stop. Make sure you have sufficient coins, as most machines don't take cards. By car: Parking facilities are limited and quite expensive in the city center. You can see a map of available car parks at http://bit.ly/2xmXDQF. If you're couchsurfing, consult with your host on where to park your car and consider going to the party by public transport. ((= Costumes =)) There are multiple costume shops around town where you can buy/rent whole costumes, or little props you may need (wigs, make-up, etc). There is also stuff at Coop, though not too much, there may be more in regular stores as Halloween gets closer. You can also put things together at home and not spend that much money. Brockenhaus may also be a good place to check out for funky strange cheap clothing.
