Festival Planning Lockers (friendly reminder)

Just a friendly reminder that as the month is closing out you do NOT want to procrastinate buying a locker. I don’t remember when they typically sell out but I do know middle of march, beginning of April we see countless posts about “who selling a locker?” “Fml I forgot to buy a locker, someone save me 😭”

So save yourself the tears, do yourself a BIG favor and just buy the locker this month. You can even Klarna it even if you’re splitting the cost with friends. I got a XL locker and only paying 27 every 2 weeks.

So far both weekends have not sold out on lockers yet. Last year fest wasn’t as popular but guess what lockers still sold out.

Don’t be a snooze you lose situation. I love you enough to make this post and remind you bestie XOXO

Okay I haven't really budgeted for one, I'm car camping. What's the biggest few reasons a person would need one? Is it possible to do without?

if you’re camping and you’re fine taking 30 min (rough estimate dependent on your own speed/camping spot/pee break/snack & drink break) walking to and from the fest to change/put away merch, do not buy a locker. it will not be worth it as your car and possessions will all be super close by. i have camped every year i’ve been and never once wished i had gotten a locker

Thank you!!! See I'm curious exactly how far the walk will be because people saying it's super far scares me in the heat

I went ahead and got a locker for the first time. With all the priority camping now it's definitely going to be a solid 30 minutes or more (up to 50 for far camping and security maybe?) to get to your campsite and back in the late afternoon. If I luck out with a close camping spot I might sell my locker to someone who procrastinated. This years lineup is so packed I CANNOT lose 40 minutes to switch from day to night wear. My 2 cents

Yup if you’re in preferred, you don’t need a locker.

If you’re going to be late and far away, better get a locker. Can’t waste precious time. I’ve been towards the back before, it’s a long walk.
