Ticket Prices
Just getting through the gates requires shelling out some serious cash.
That only gets you entry no camping, no parking and no additional amenities.
Once, I paid $22 for a basic cocktail, and all I wanted to do was cry.
That is why I think it is wise to bring snacks and fillable water bottles and budget accordingly.
With festival days stretching eight to 12 hours, youll need to refuel at some point.
Prioritize nutrient-dense foods to stay fueled for longer and keepsplurgesto a minimum.
Car camping cuts costs, Farrell said.
Especially with hotels costing $400 a night or more.
It isnt the most luxurious choice, but it is more affordable and fun.
Carpool with friends, bring your food and drink and enjoy some massive savings and a more immersive experience.
Just dont forget earplugs.
Id budgeted for tacos and tees, not frozen water at gourmet prices!
Here are Farrells top tips for keeping your spending under control on festival days.
Buy Tickets Early
The early bird gets the best deal.
Snag early-bird tickets with no-interest payment plans for the lowest prices and no lingering fees.
Farrell split his campsite with three friends, dropping his fee to just $45.
Bring a reusable water bottle and avoid spending money on overpriced bottles.
Its a simple yet highly effective way to curb impulse buys and prioritize smart purchases.
Volunteer
If your festival offers it, volunteer for an early entry shift, like wristband scanning.
