What is “Russ”, and why is it such a big deal/so expensive in Norway?

314 viewsOther

A friend lives in Norway and told me that these parties can go on for an entire month straight, and cost upwards of $100k to do including everything. What exactly is it, and why do people do this?

It really depends on where in the country you are and if you are part of a bus or not.

I used to know someone that rented out sound systems to busses from the Bærum area around 20 years ago.

He charged something like 200 000 dollars for renting the equipment to one bus for 1.5 months. It came with a security guard that made sure the equipment was fine.

Outside of the russ season he rented the equipment out to big concert arenas for bands like Ironmaiden and Rammstein, for a much cheaper price.

Me on the other hand got the outfit, the business cards and some trips, probably spent about 600 dollarish on non alcohol related stuff.
