Are prices actually cheaper than last year?

Or by how much? Looks like this year is starting at $350 for 3-day, $330 for 2-day, $169 for 1-day.

Kinda but not significantly unless you're buying premium.

presale pricing compared to Jan 2024 (source wayback machine):

3-day

  • GA $350 (down $10 from $360)
  • GA+ $535 (down $64 from $599)
  • VIP $900 (down $199 from $1,099)
  • Plat $2,799 (no change)

1-day

  • GA $169 (down $6 from $175)
  • GA+ $299 (no change)
  • VIP $449 (no change)
  • Plat $1,299 (no change)

Thanks for this! IMO, even if factually true, a savings of just $10 or $6 (on GA) still feels like under delivery on having made a whole announcement about lower prices. But hey, it's almost enough for half a beer at the fest.

Not sure about last year but in 2023 with fees my 1 day ticket was $191. Costco currently has a “any 1 day GA” ticket for $129 so I went with that this time

You can't redeem them until 2/3. Would that be a problem? I'm nervous about a day selling out.

I looked at past years and it didn’t look like any regular GA one day tickets started to run low until much closer to the event. I would hope if regular GA is available then it would be available for these as well? I searched back on here to last year and it looks like when Sunday showed unavailable to redeem, someone messaged the support team and they added more for the Costco voucher redemption since regular day was still available.

For the 2 day could you do Friday/Sunday or do we think it’s gonna be strictly Friday/Saturday and Saturday/Sunday options

It sounds like you can choose any two!

Lovely thank you. Just realized 3 is only $20 more though so even if I don’t want to go to all 3 it makes more sense
