A daytime anniversary on Óbuda Island
SOC Events is staging its twentieth-anniversary event at Óbuda Bay on Saturday, 10 October, from 14:00 to 22:00. The official ticket page lists Giuseppe Ottaviani, Laura van Dam, Markus Schulz, Sneijder, Antoos and Tebron. Admission is restricted to people aged 18 and over.
The organiser frames the day around a story that began as SYNERGY in 2006, continued as Sound of Cream and later became SOC Events. The eight-hour daytime format is more than nostalgia: the announcement specifies professional lighting and a premium L-Acoustics system, putting production quality at the centre of the anniversary offer.
What is included in VIP?
The official sales page lists a separate entrance, a platform behind the DJ booth, cloakroom, toilets, bars and a chill zone. At the time of checking, the HUF 17,990 VIP 1 tier was marked sold out; the HUF 13,990 normal tier remained available while several earlier tiers had sold out. This is a snapshot, so buyers should always check the live ticket page.
Reader value and business lesson
The event is a strong Hungarian example of turning an organiser anniversary into a distinct product: a compact daytime window, an international bill, named sound technology and clearly segmented VIP services. Credible partner opportunities include hospitality, mobility, food and beverage, lifestyle activation and premium guest handling.
