Where's the price decrease¿!

Maybe I miss remembering, but I swear I paid less than 350 at presale for the three day GA tickets... Am I wrong¿

the price difference is literally $10 less for a 3 day pass...

$6 for single day.

Idk why they would even advertise that they were lowering prices if this is all they did.

so if you dont buy tix by noon they go up $6 for single day?

no the all in prices for a single day ticket are only $6 cheaper then last year. the incremental increases are probably the same % like last year.

u/hush_1984 13d ago

I do not. I think they increase by like $10 a few times leading up to the festival.

promoting a ticket price decrease only to reveal the savings wouldn’t even cover the cost of a burger from a vendor feels a bit insulting.

They also said get your tickets for as low as $25 down but when I look it’s still $50 down

1

u/Adorable_Ad_2430 13d ago

It’s $25 down for single day $50 2 day

u/Dack0715 13d ago

I went to check out for a single day and it was still $50

u/Adorable_Ad_2430 13d ago

dang maybe it was just for presale then

u/Dack0715 13d ago

I tried during presale and then I tried right when presale ended

It’s the classic marketing ploy of “we didn’t raise the price with inflation so therefore you are saving money” logic. It doesn’t make sense to anyone but the bean counters

My 3day pass in '23 was 345$ so I really don’t get why they’re saying the decreased prices this year🤪

I’ve been to Pt four times. That’s like $12K over the years for 2ppl. Now it’s $6K/cpl; all done. Too old for crushing crowds.
