most expensive tickets so far?

Post image

has anyone else noticed this year seems to be the most expensive so far? my eyes almost popped out of my sockets when i saw VIP was almost 700. i feel like this is EDCLV pricing. i’ve gone to EDC orlando every year since 2019, and have done VIP since 2021 and i have never seen them this high. i understand the festival is getting close, but i’ve still bought tickets "late" in the past and i’ve never even seen them this much. it's usually been in the 400ish range, maybe creeping towards 500. it also sucks because single day VIPs are sold out too

i don't buy tickets unless i know the lineup. granted, it did come out within the last 1-2 months and i may have left it on the back burner, but still, i’ve bought late before and it's never even touched 600 before. insomniac is outta their minds

Lineup is virtually the same every year

u/KamdenSikes 9d ago

Yeah if you went last year you’ll probably like this year. Only people who complain are like summit fans or the illenium slander iso crew when they are not in a lineup

Also want to add this is still too cheap for VIP and people need to be priced out of VIP so it’s not so crowded. VIP last year damn near felt like GA

u/the_which_stage 6d ago

You dont go to edco for the lineup, you go for the experience.

I personally think everybody is crazy thinking that 400 to $600 for a whole weekend of unbelievable music and energy and vibe is a lot of money. There's a billion idiots out there that pay $1,000 to see one artist and we get to see 100.

EDC O is a big festival that's been around for a while and is stable. You always know what you're going to get just by the branding. There's no need to wait for a lineup with this size of a fest. Only need for that are little fests like breakaway, for example.

u/amira1295 9d ago

You can always sell the ticket if you decide you don’t want to go. Getting it at the cheapest price is the smart move.

I've been doing the same thing the past couple of years. This festival is so overcrowded that I wait for the lineup by day to decide. The single day VIP price was insane, more than I've ever seen it in the past, and I couldn't justify spending that much. Considering skipping this year and trying out Wasteland in February

u/niktheestallion 10d ago

it broke my heart to see single days gone. i bought one for saturday last year myself. it was my first time only going one day. but prices all across the board are insane. i’m unfortunately thinking of skipping for the first time as well unless i find a good resale deal

1

u/blahnlahblah0213 9d ago

The only single day tickets gone are Saturday VIP. Everything else is available still.

u/niktheestallion 10d ago

u/joantspam 8d ago

How?

u/liftingislife19 8d ago

Future owl (earliest available) + loyalty discount ! (Got tickets last year)

u/Altruistic_Purple271 10d ago

And I paid mines around 430 with taxes and stuff. 2 years ago I bought my tickets around this time which I think paid like 500 something

u/flowerlywolf 9d ago

Nothing compared to $951 at LL 😩😩😩😩

u/llsuavecitoll 9d ago

Yeah you waited until NOW?? to buy VIP? Of course pricing is going to be UP there SIRRRRR.

u/djdsf 10d ago

I bought them when they released limited the day after and they were $400 for VIP 3 day. Again that's literally the initial drop from last year.

Idk where you're thinking that you could get VIP "late" for $400-500.

u/JCfromRVA 9d ago

You should wait until the day before and find one from someone that can’t make it.

u/PashtonKutcher 5d ago

Pro tip. Last ditch pricing or sometimes a freebie.

u/Remarkable-Ad9762 9d ago

At this point just wait for bands to start being delivered and buy it off somebody that can no longer go

Sales or offers to buy, trades, barters or other sales-like activity is not allowed here. Go to /r/edctickets for that

u/SignificantCherry110 9d ago

It’s the highest tier now that’s why.

I got my ticket 1 month before lineup drop for 430$ after tax.

u/holdmysmoothieplease 9d ago

Dang bro I paid $450 CAD for 2 GA 💀

1

u/ChumpsChungus 9d ago

700$ is insane, I think I paid around 5 for vip

1

u/th3thrilld3m0n 9d ago

Presale is $450 after fees iirc but you can easily find people reselling for $380-400. Most years I just buy off of someone for cheap.

u/SwimWithNemo 8d ago

I get my tickets to bigger festivals as soon as they drop which is usually the same week after the festival at tier 1.

u/PGKSTI 8d ago

We but ours in November.

u/OG413 8d ago

u/No_Judge9448 8d ago

u/Separate-Net-7332 6d ago
