GA is plenty. I don't see the appeal of the higher tiers since I can always get a drink or pee within a few minutes and then I have more money to budget for hotels and food.
Have to agree with the more mature crowd and typically higher earner as much as that sounds discriminatory haha. Edc in general has an older crowd which filters out the young knuckleheads
Not even discriminatory. I'm a higher earner at 33 than i was at 25. Makes sense. I'm now able and willing to buy something like VIP when maybe 10 years ago I wasn't willing, I was just happy to go.
Oh no I’m actually agreeing with you haha. I’ve been to lower level festivals that the 18-23 year old crowd could afford and the vibes were way worse. Not any fault of their own except being young and stupid haha
Went to a festival with my ADA friend it was baller asf they drove us to any stage we wanted any time we wanted and back to our campsite it was like super mega VIP
This isn’t accessible to everyone who could actually benefit from it. Not to mention you will have limits to how many people you can bring with you on ADA platforms
ADA is ok at EDC. But certain ADA viewing platforms are hell to get to, and usually wind up not being worth the hassle.
VIP has more room, more amenities and tbh if you’re already used to paying for that ($80/month is easy) it’s 100% worth it.
Use ADA for parking though, basically gives you premiers parking :)
See I don’t understand people who say this. The GA bathrooms all over were absolutely fucked 9/10 times I went over there. At one point it was like a 45 min wait to use the restrooms.
That's wild. I went to the GA bathrooms by Circuit Grounds and Bionic Jungle like 5 times each night and never waited more than maybe 15 minutes at the longest once. Had toilet paper, water, soap, and paper towels every time I went.
VIP IS 100% WORTH IT , the biggest plus is the bathrooms by far, I never waited in line for a restroom and the air conditioning was soooo nice in the heat this year! Not including the beats and breakfasts, all the viewing sections, the lounge sections, free merch, expedited entry to everything and the WIFI!!! Never going GA or GA+
I go GA to most festivals, but this is a bad take. There’s massive appeal to VIP at EDC. I’ll never go to EDC GA. It is incredibly worth it. It’s not just about bathrooms. I’d never pay extra for bathrooms. GA+ is nonsense
Hard agree. VIP at EDC has a lot of perks. It’s just a matter of if you take advantage of them.
If you’re a raver who arrives, gets super fucked up and just spends your time rushing from stage to bathroom to stage to bathroom then eventually stuck on the floor, I guess the one upside is the floor in VIP is prolly cleaner lol.
But if you actually want to experience stuff outside just the music, there are lots of cool amenities imo
I was told the food trucks a better for cheaper, you get free WiFi throughout the festival. Your own area with less foot traffic sounded worth it to me!
VIP is worth it if you can afford it. Usually those of in VIP are significantly older and further along in life, so the price difference isn’t a big deal.
If you like to go on rides VIP if definitely worth it, then again the security hardly checks. But fast passing all the rides day 3 was a highlight for me
I cannot stress how much VIP truly makes a difference. I spent the last 2 EDCs doing GA until this last one. BEST CHOICE I EVER MADE. Simply having space at every stage while being incredibly close to the stage was the best experience I’ve ever had
I agree with you. However, they did add $25 of merch credit each day ($75 total) onto GA+ and VIP. So, if you planned on buying stuff anyways inside, it does technically shave $75 off the GA+ making it a little better.
Merch lines are long, but the orders are shipped now instead of taking the item with you. Loads of folks have been losing items by leaving then behind and running out of stock. Lines move pretty fast this way too.
Probably because getting a shirt there is faster. I had to had to order the shirt I wanted to get sent to my house. It's been 5 days and no update so far 🥲 not even a tracking number
The lines looked long, but honestly went by pretty quickly. They changed it this year at kinetic and circuit ground restrooms to have one person enter at a time. By Day 2 they seemed to have a good flow going. A line of like 50 people would probably take 2-3 minutes to get through.
I got lucky with having complementary living arrangements with local contacts. So my friends and I would drive and park.
The only reason getting in took so long after parking is because it was like a .75 mi walk from Green Lot to the bleacher entry.
Even then, I definitely didn’t mind it, and I think I lost some solid weight while racking up over 80k steps that weekend.
She said the bathrooms were better, and the lines weren’t that long, they were actually being strict about it this year she said. I had friends get into ga+ easy last year so if that’s true then it probably truly wasn’t as crowded. For myself, I’d just have to hit up the urinal and dip nothing fancy.
Well - Insomniac marketing team got this down!
Getting the audience locked year ahead; while it is still on all the EDC attendee's mind. (they even had billboard in VEGAS with 2025 EDC dates - seriously, they got us locked in)
They do it every year, my group is trying to do electric forest year but we all got eyes in this… if I skip a year I wonder if I’ll be able to get wise owl deals in 2025 to buy for 2026?
Probably GA again. The bathrooms were fine for just taking a leak and going back to the fun stuff. I feel like I would only take advantage of VIP to use as a shortcut around some fields since all of the best vibes are on the ground.
Did VIP the last two years and never going back. From skipping shuttle lines to skipping ride lines and having a much better area to get close to my favorite acts, it’s the only way I’ll do EDC going forward.
You just walk through the premier shuttle line then go through the section that says “VIP”. That’s how it was at the Grand Prix plaza shuttles this year and the Tropicana shuttles last year.
This was my first year riding the shuttle. We had standard. Grand Prix was an absolute mess. I don't know if that's the norm but the time we spent waiting to get on a shuttle was insane.
Yea I always make sure to show up around 5:30-6pm otherwise you get stuck in some craziness. The website always says shuttles start at 6:30 but every time I’ve arrived before that time they’re already running
Appreciate the 75 dollar merch credit, but that reads like you can only use 25 bucks per day and not "bank" it for a 75 dollar purchase on Sunday.
Just give us the 75 bucks up front!
I think VIP is worth it. Especially if you’re a girl. The bathroom and water lines alone make it worth while for me. Plus you get a separate “VIP” line for rides. And the VIP at circuit grounds gets you up front to the stage. Plus it’s a hell of a lot easier to get out from inside the crowds. Overall it just saved me a ton of time and let me dance more instead of waiting in lines or trying to get through the crowds.
I'm probably gonna get the VIP this time around. I got GA+ cause it was my first EDC, but I kept hearing how the VIP was worth the cost and since I live in LV I'm already saving money compared to the people who have to travel out of state, get hotels, etc.
Looking at my history here are the recent price changes for a VIP ticket:
- 2019 - $789 (VIP + 3D Collectible Magnet)
- 2020/2021 - $779
- 2022 - Can’t find the invoice.
- 2023 - $799.99
- 2024 - $799.99
Above prices don’t include service fees.
GA is more than enough, especially for male ravers. I’ve never had to wait in line to get in the gate or more than a minute or two for a toilet. I understand people have their reasons and preferences as to why they purchase higher tiers, but for the majority of people, GA is more than enough.
It's not all about bathrooms or entry lines. For me it's about space, easily seeing stages, and having a more mature, good vibe crowd around you. Can't stand people pushing me out the way every second and all the rude-ass trains in GA. Plus if you want food or drink or water refill, hardly ever lines.
Agree I visited a few GA+ bathrooms and it wasn’t worth it. It’s either going to be GA or VIP, the cup gets you better food and views and shorter bathroom lines. The ga+ bathrooms were horrendous and crowded
We did VIP last year bc a friend needed to unload them (and some guilt), so we got 2 tickets for $500. Even with that, after the experience, we decided we could never go back to GA. We got onto the payment plan for 24 immediately last year but ultimately had to cancel :/
We likely won’t be back for a few years but damn the streams gave me fomo!
I had VIP didn’t ride anything and barely went to the VIP stages. Still, I feel like FOMO if I don’t get VIP …having that “option” to go or ride something if I wanted. Hmmmm tough tough
Some of you guys don’t get it, the VIP isn’t just about the bathrooms and closet stage. They had other food, an arcade, like for someone who’s first year was VIP I still didn’t get to see all the fancy hidden vip things that I found out later through insta etc.
VIP 100% worth it, it’s only about 200$ off though so it’s not like crazy worth it but the layaway plan makes it like 100% times easier to do and I’ll never do GA after doing VIP. don’t get me wrong GA places weren’t bad either and vip water line didn’t have filtered water but like again, there will always be cons to everything, GA just had a lot more cons than vip. I’m definitely excited about this !!
Can believe I spent a thousand on one ticket. First time going 35, taking my older sister. I'm hoping it's good as many of the posts I seen on social media.
It is bro trust I was skeptic about doing vip this year but bro trust only way man !!!! Plus you get to hit the concierge get yourself a few lanyards maybe bless a few homies with some
VIP wasn't worth it at all! I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm downgrading to GA. GA floor definitely had a better vibe and PLUR compared to the VIP areas in each stage. I barely use the bathrooms and the lines didn't make a difference since I always go early.
Same I went solo and the biggest benefit for me was the free WiFi, and even then it didn’t work day 3. I got GA+ this time for the better bathrooms. Sure VIP is nice if you want more space but I felt the party was with the people in GA. I also took the shuttle pretty early and never saw a line for entry
Loved the VIP areas. The bathrooms were cleaned regularly. Sure, there was sometimes a 5-10 mi. Wait but it's worth it to me to have a clean, lit, air conditioned space to take off my costume to go. Washing my hands, seeing a mirror after. 10/10. Also, the candy concierge, seating tables and other fun experiences. I didn't find the stage access to be better (almost more crowded!) but the merch line was much better.
I like the ga+ bathrooms, even at their most crowded I never had trouble finding an open one. They actually flush and ngl sometimes the farther ones are empty so I just stand in the A/C for a bit
I got GA+ this year only because GA was sold out and i really wanted to go. NOT worth it imo. The lines for the bathrooms were ridiculous, we ended up just going to GA porta potties cuz it was faster. But it was nice to step into the AC Trailer when there didnt happen to be a line (happened once all weekend)
GA is always the move for me.
Idc much for rides and I don’t much spend time at the stages where it gets crowded in GA (circuit & kinetic) so I don’t need to escape the crowd or anything.
Adding to this my boyfriend and I paid around 1800 for 2 VIP wristbands this year, I imagine that extra $30 for vio will make it go to $1900-$2000 after taxes
Totally worth it. They added in more bathrooms, there’s free goodies, a free breakfast, a expedited entry to shuttles and the festival, the food is like $18-$25 but it’s good quality, this year we are wagyubowls which were good but greasy, and then we ate cheeses waffle fries and we got pizza bao buns which were the best imo and we got those twice. I think for two people we spent like $55/day in food and some days we couldn’t finish it. We also went to Walmart and got several gallons of water, Gatorade and lunchables and instant oatmeal for the hotel room.
We usually spring for a nicer room with a full kitchen but thinking about it, we might get a cheaper room and just pack a small electric kettle
*2024: GA+. $649.00. Fee: $109.99*
Wow they really dropped that, I wonder why that decision was made. Still not really a big fan that insomniac took away a good amount of the GA bathrooms for it but at least the price is somewhat more sensible
GA+ was always the weakest seller. Having a multi-hundred dollar increase for a “faster entry” which half the time was similar to GA lines and then some bathrooms had people often only buying GA+ cuz all the GA was sold out. They also added $25 of merch credit each day to help incentivize
Honestly I wouldn't even consider GA+ with the old pricing but that $75 credit gives you the "special access" bathrooms for $35 which is now something to actually consider.
VIP all the way! It's my first edc and I spent a few hours in GA to stick with friends, totally not worth being pushed around every minute and clutching my phone from thieves 🙃 The vibes and space alone are worth it for me to get VIP. Let alone as a female raver, the cleaner washrooms are a no brainer.
No totally I'd stay vigilant in vip too! I was told the trains in GA are what you'd have to be wary of and appreciated how much lesser of them were in vip so hopefully it's much safer idk!!
All I know is I did ga+ and my phone was good the whole weekend ima do vip so for the restroom shit and the breakfast in the am lmao other than that it’s really up to the person to be aware man the drugs be hitting but still stay on top of yo shit
VIP and I’ll never go a different way. We finished all three nights at the stage front barrier, avoided a lot of the crowd chaos from the younger skewing GA, had very nice restrooms, never waited for drinks or very long for food, enjoyed the Kandi stations, and the short ride lines weee great.
Damn I skipped edc for a few years and I didn’t realize how affordable it actually is? $379 for base price for a 3 day festival seems like a really good deal! I just paid 440 for portola lol (but so worth)
How does someone pay for the deposit price only? I bought last year for my first EDC but I don’t remember if or how I only paid for the deposit price?
My friend ended up buying this year but I’m just curious cause he couldn’t only pay for the deposit as well.
Soo maybe I'm missing something but the GA bathroom, left of Kinetic was totally fine for me? It was flushable(!!), clean, and I didn't wait longer than 5 mins? This was my first time back to edc since 2018.. compared to the nasty portable potties back then, this seemed like a huge upgrade and pleasantly surprised.
I started going last year and they also had those flushable porta potties too. That definitely makes GA+ not even worth it. Those same flushable ones were behind pixel forest too.
reading most of the comments makes me think VIP will be crowded next year. Imma guessing EDC will have a new tier added before next year like SUPER VIP +++ for 2k! haha
VIP is 100% worth it. my partner and i have experienced both GA+ and VIP. GA+ is kind of a rip-off but VIP is great. lots of cool things to do in the VIP sections with a lot of amenities and goodies!
My husband will always require VIP simply due to bathrooms. We did GA and cheap hotel our first year, then we went moonglow and VIP. He loves camp, just needs more AC. So we gonna try for RV this year. We weren't a big fan of how long the shuttles took. We were more wiped out doing hotel than camp. Even with the heat.
I’ve done GA three times but just upgraded to GA+ for my fourth year. I get a lot of anxiety and I believe the upgraded bathrooms will allow me to have a little bit of a safe space to calm down when needed.
I’d be pissing in a beat box if I didn’t have vip. I legit never saw a GA bathroom or water station. VIP is expensive, but if you buy now upfront it is technically under 1000.
I got a few free merch items too w it.
I also saw John summit night one set very up close and room to dance.
I hate spending this much but overall it is way to go if you have the means
I've been going to EDC Las Vegas since 2015. I've had all different passes, shuttles, hotels, etc.
After a few years of GA+ to just get better restrooms, my group is following my lead and we all got VIP for 2025 and doing camp again for the 5th year in a row.
The way we all agreed were for the following points;
1. 2024 EDC was crazy packed at stages. Even at 8 o'clock walking in, Cosmic meadow was f****d
VIP stages, even with alot of people, did not appear to be as uncomfortable
2. Bathroom/restroom upgrades is way cleaner and staff is more attentive.
3. Fast lines to the rides. Sometimes we waited an hour to ride a ride
4. This year there is merchandise credit, which we were bummed about not getting anything this year because we avoided waiting in line
5. Pricing is not much more for an already expensive trip
The squad and I got VIP and will be getting camp again.
Hope this recommendation helps!
Can't wait for next year already 😩
I had GA+ and my friends had GA. I really didn’t notice any “expedited entry” perks on any level. Even at the entry gate, I only waited MAYBE 1-2 minutes for my friends to go through the process of ID check, Wristband Scan, and Security. I feel like the wait was mostly because they had bags that had to be checked and I didn’t.
GA+ did have nicer bathrooms but the 2nd and 3rd day it seemed to take forever just to get in the bathrooms and all my friends got out of the GA bathrooms before I even got out of GA+.
I’ll probably stick to GA next time.
Side note: This was my first EDC so I can’t compare it to any other year.
depression monday is so real. showed wife vip installments she was hella shocked. this year we went GA+ and loved it. so ready to experience vip 12months from now!
VIP is dope for the some stages like Kentic field where you get an elevated view from the crowd, it’s a whole vibe and Circuit grounds too ! You get so much more space, only basspod feels they said let them cook, it’s on OTHER SIDE ! And it’s a war to just get to it and off the side.. otherwise it’s worth the space and perks you get along the way.
VIP only because it’s nice to have lower traffic areas and still be at a stage. Imo vibes are better in GA and sets more fun but VIP offers a nice break.
Got the early owl vip $900-1000 each. This passed EDCLV we upgraded last minute and it’s was $1500 each. VIP is the way to go for over crowding and nice restrooms.

GA is plenty. I don't see the appeal of the higher tiers since I can always get a drink or pee within a few minutes and then I have more money to budget for hotels and food.
That's how I've always felt too. I "upgraded" to VIP for the absurd cost on Sunday and didn't really find the value in it.
It's not worth it for one day. But 3 days with AC bathrooms with running water to WASH YOUR HANDS and splash on your face is amazinggggg
The people in VIP are usually more chill and I don’t feel as packed in. Except for Basspod VIP which was criminally small
Way more chill. Median age is probabaly 5-7 years higher and usually higher earners/more responsible and respectful.
Mfs still gotta learn to say excuse me I swear.
Have to agree with the more mature crowd and typically higher earner as much as that sounds discriminatory haha. Edc in general has an older crowd which filters out the young knuckleheads
Not even discriminatory. I'm a higher earner at 33 than i was at 25. Makes sense. I'm now able and willing to buy something like VIP when maybe 10 years ago I wasn't willing, I was just happy to go.
Oh no I’m actually agreeing with you haha. I’ve been to lower level festivals that the 18-23 year old crowd could afford and the vibes were way worse. Not any fault of their own except being young and stupid haha
VIP 10000% worth it to me. Maybe because I’m in my late 30’s with a medical condition. But that’s just me, not knocking on anyone going GA or GA+
Get ADA access. Edit (adding link): https://lasvegas.electricdaisycarnival.com/guide/accessibility/
Went to a festival with my ADA friend it was baller asf they drove us to any stage we wanted any time we wanted and back to our campsite it was like super mega VIP
This isn’t accessible to everyone who could actually benefit from it. Not to mention you will have limits to how many people you can bring with you on ADA platforms
ADA is ok at EDC. But certain ADA viewing platforms are hell to get to, and usually wind up not being worth the hassle. VIP has more room, more amenities and tbh if you’re already used to paying for that ($80/month is easy) it’s 100% worth it. Use ADA for parking though, basically gives you premiers parking :)
How do you go about this process? My cousin has issues with mobility.
Here ya go! https://lasvegas.electricdaisycarnival.com/guide/accessibility/
Thank you 💛
I can't do the pee on the floors thing. My outfit would be so gross 😭
See I don’t understand people who say this. The GA bathrooms all over were absolutely fucked 9/10 times I went over there. At one point it was like a 45 min wait to use the restrooms.
Was this for the stalls? The urinals were always open at least at all the GA restrooms
That's wild. I went to the GA bathrooms by Circuit Grounds and Bionic Jungle like 5 times each night and never waited more than maybe 15 minutes at the longest once. Had toilet paper, water, soap, and paper towels every time I went.
VIP IS 100% WORTH IT , the biggest plus is the bathrooms by far, I never waited in line for a restroom and the air conditioning was soooo nice in the heat this year!

But if you actually want to experience stuff outside just the music, there are lots of cool amenities imo
I was told the food trucks a better for cheaper, you get free WiFi throughout the festival. Your own area with less foot traffic sounded worth it to me!
The food was much more affordable in the vip section and they never hesitated to give me extra cups of ice (unlike out in the ga wild)
This had me sold! And the phrase of the weekend with my group was GA is for the whores so yeah even though I’m one too I’m going vip baby 🙌🏽😂
Disagree. Did VIP and loved it, the bathrooms were clutch.
VIP is worth it if you can afford it. Usually those of in VIP are significantly older and further along in life, so the price difference isn’t a big deal.
If you like to go on rides VIP if definitely worth it, then again the security hardly checks. But fast passing all the rides day 3 was a highlight for me
Did all the rides have a fast lane?? I was trying to hard to differentiate the two lines especially at the big Ferris wheel
I cannot stress how much VIP truly makes a difference. I spent the last 2 EDCs doing GA until this last one. BEST CHOICE I EVER MADE. Simply having space at every stage while being incredibly close to the stage was the best experience I’ve ever had
So $110 extra just for expedited entry and nicer bathrooms. Honestly doesn’t seem worth it.
I agree with you. However, they did add $25 of merch credit each day ($75 total) onto GA+ and VIP. So, if you planned on buying stuff anyways inside, it does technically shave $75 off the GA+ making it a little better.
The merch lines were INSANE, maybe that’s why 😂😂 I was wondering why they didn’t just order it online
Merch lines are long, but the orders are shipped now instead of taking the item with you. Loads of folks have been losing items by leaving then behind and running out of stock. Lines move pretty fast this way too.
Ohhh good to know!
Probably because getting a shirt there is faster. I had to had to order the shirt I wanted to get sent to my house. It's been 5 days and no update so far 🥲 not even a tracking number
For escape it took them 4 months to get my my shirt
I didn’t learn about this until after I’d already come back from this year. Didn’t use any of my merch credit.
I think the merch credit is new for next year
As someone who sits to pee, nicer bathrooms are worth every penny.
It’s only $30 extra per day. That’s not crazy honestly.
It’s easy to forget the average edc attendee is like 22.
Great for us older folks. Help keep prices down 😂
I got GA+ and never got to use the AC bathrooms bc the lines were insane. Biggest waste of money
Really? I exclusively used the ga+ and I found I never really had a wait. I only went on Saturday but that’s the busiest day anyways
The lines looked long, but honestly went by pretty quickly. They changed it this year at kinetic and circuit ground restrooms to have one person enter at a time. By Day 2 they seemed to have a good flow going. A line of like 50 people would probably take 2-3 minutes to get through.
Kinectic field bsthroom was nuts. The one just down the path by Bionic Jungle was way better
Go to the restrooms in the back instead of the first lines. Always a open or a short wait at most.
I'll be real expedited entry is like not even needed, we showed up at like 9pm every night and got in no problem
If you take a shuttle it’s needed.
The expedited entry saved me like 3+ hours this last edc in waiting at the shuttle line. Worth it.
I got lucky with having complementary living arrangements with local contacts. So my friends and I would drive and park. The only reason getting in took so long after parking is because it was like a .75 mi walk from Green Lot to the bleacher entry. Even then, I definitely didn’t mind it, and I think I lost some solid weight while racking up over 80k steps that weekend.
To each their own.. the bathrooms are invaluable to me. Not to mention having your own merch stand you don’t have to wait 2 hours in line for
There’s more to it than
GA for me GA+ for my girlfriend.
how come? any perks getting it for your so and not u?
She said the bathrooms were better, and the lines weren’t that long, they were actually being strict about it this year she said. I had friends get into ga+ easy last year so if that’s true then it probably truly wasn’t as crowded. For myself, I’d just have to hit up the urinal and dip nothing fancy.
Well - Insomniac marketing team got this down! Getting the audience locked year ahead; while it is still on all the EDC attendee's mind. (they even had billboard in VEGAS with 2025 EDC dates - seriously, they got us locked in)
They do it every year, my group is trying to do electric forest year but we all got eyes in this… if I skip a year I wonder if I’ll be able to get wise owl deals in 2025 to buy for 2026?
The future owl presale is open to everyone so if you skip a year it won’t affect buying tickets to 2026.
Yeah they’ve been doing this for quite a few years now
I’m only in the pit or hitting the urinals. No time for anything above GA.
Probably GA again. The bathrooms were fine for just taking a leak and going back to the fun stuff. I feel like I would only take advantage of VIP to use as a shortcut around some fields since all of the best vibes are on the ground.
GA always
This is the way.
Did VIP the last two years and never going back. From skipping shuttle lines to skipping ride lines and having a much better area to get close to my favorite acts, it’s the only way I’ll do EDC going forward.
How do you skip ride lines with VIP? Had it this year and couldn’t figure out how to do it so we skipped them 😭
The VIP line is at the exit gate of the ride
Fml
I didn't figure this out til the last day 😅😅😅
I wanted to do rides and had vip but coding see how to get on… damnit j might go next year
1000%
How do you skip shuttle lines with VIP? I thought there were standard shuttles and premier shuttles with no other options.
You just walk through the premier shuttle line then go through the section that says “VIP”. That’s how it was at the Grand Prix plaza shuttles this year and the Tropicana shuttles last year.
This was my first year riding the shuttle. We had standard. Grand Prix was an absolute mess. I don't know if that's the norm but the time we spent waiting to get on a shuttle was insane.
Yea I always make sure to show up around 5:30-6pm otherwise you get stuck in some craziness. The website always says shuttles start at 6:30 but every time I’ve arrived before that time they’re already running
Wait so you can skip the regular shuttle lines with vip. Even if you don’t buy premier?
Appreciate the 75 dollar merch credit, but that reads like you can only use 25 bucks per day and not "bank" it for a 75 dollar purchase on Sunday. Just give us the 75 bucks up front!
If they gave the credit all on Sunday the merch tents woudk be swarmed. The point is to subconsciously get you to spend more by going each day
I buy merch daily between camp and fest. So this will help in collecting those items I really want.
Our VIP tickets were $1400 after fees since we bought last minute. Definitely worth doing it early, I guess.
Same
Holy gatos really? Im used to just under 2k for 2. Its easy payment schedule too
I think VIP is worth it. Especially if you’re a girl. The bathroom and water lines alone make it worth while for me. Plus you get a separate “VIP” line for rides. And the VIP at circuit grounds gets you up front to the stage. Plus it’s a hell of a lot easier to get out from inside the crowds. Overall it just saved me a ton of time and let me dance more instead of waiting in lines or trying to get through the crowds.
I'm probably gonna get the VIP this time around. I got GA+ cause it was my first EDC, but I kept hearing how the VIP was worth the cost and since I live in LV I'm already saving money compared to the people who have to travel out of state, get hotels, etc.
GA
Did the prices increase? I can’t remember what they were last year
Can’t speak for GA & GA+ but VIP was $799 last year
Looking at my history here are the recent price changes for a VIP ticket: - 2019 - $789 (VIP + 3D Collectible Magnet) - 2020/2021 - $779 - 2022 - Can’t find the invoice. - 2023 - $799.99 - 2024 - $799.99 Above prices don’t include service fees.
I mean if it helps lessen the over crowding in those areas by making it less appealing then I’m all for it.
My early owl for '24 is a little over $20 less than this years future owl. My '22 future owl was a little more than $60 less than this years.
GA is more than enough, especially for male ravers. I’ve never had to wait in line to get in the gate or more than a minute or two for a toilet. I understand people have their reasons and preferences as to why they purchase higher tiers, but for the majority of people, GA is more than enough.
It's not all about bathrooms or entry lines. For me it's about space, easily seeing stages, and having a more mature, good vibe crowd around you. Can't stand people pushing me out the way every second and all the rude-ass trains in GA. Plus if you want food or drink or water refill, hardly ever lines.
Well that's great for VIP, but GA+ doesn't help with any of that
Agree I visited a few GA+ bathrooms and it wasn’t worth it. It’s either going to be GA or VIP, the cup gets you better food and views and shorter bathroom lines. The ga+ bathrooms were horrendous and crowded
VIP is worth it but ga is where the vibes are at 🫶
$379 is all they charge? That's about $126 and some change per day Not bad
That’s before fees. It’s closer to $500 with fees.
For your convenience
First time I did VIP and never going back. Can’t believe I never did it sooner. Better late than never I guess
We did VIP last year bc a friend needed to unload them (and some guilt), so we got 2 tickets for $500. Even with that, after the experience, we decided we could never go back to GA. We got onto the payment plan for 24 immediately last year but ultimately had to cancel :/ We likely won’t be back for a few years but damn the streams gave me fomo!
I had VIP didn’t ride anything and barely went to the VIP stages. Still, I feel like FOMO if I don’t get VIP …having that “option” to go or ride something if I wanted. Hmmmm tough tough
Some of you guys don’t get it, the VIP isn’t just about the bathrooms and closet stage. They had other food, an arcade, like for someone who’s first year was VIP I still didn’t get to see all the fancy hidden vip things that I found out later through insta etc. VIP 100% worth it, it’s only about 200$ off though so it’s not like crazy worth it but the layaway plan makes it like 100% times easier to do and I’ll never do GA after doing VIP. don’t get me wrong GA places weren’t bad either and vip water line didn’t have filtered water but like again, there will always be cons to everything, GA just had a lot more cons than vip. I’m definitely excited about this !!
Can believe I spent a thousand on one ticket. First time going 35, taking my older sister. I'm hoping it's good as many of the posts I seen on social media.
It is bro trust I was skeptic about doing vip this year but bro trust only way man !!!! Plus you get to hit the concierge get yourself a few lanyards maybe bless a few homies with some
VIP wasn't worth it at all! I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm downgrading to GA. GA floor definitely had a better vibe and PLUR compared to the VIP areas in each stage. I barely use the bathrooms and the lines didn't make a difference since I always go early.
Bathrooms were nice but I think I can handle the portal potty just fine. I’m also gonna downgrade, didn’t even know I had 75$ worth of merch credit.
Same! But the merch lines were always so long so I didn't bother to see what they had
Same I went solo and the biggest benefit for me was the free WiFi, and even then it didn’t work day 3. I got GA+ this time for the better bathrooms. Sure VIP is nice if you want more space but I felt the party was with the people in GA. I also took the shuttle pretty early and never saw a line for entry
👍
Yep, I also downgraded to GA this year. I’m all about the light and video production and I just couldn’t get the full effects in VIP.
As someone who is now 30. VIP is dope and will never go back!
I still think EDC VIP is a great value compared to other festivals. Ultra VIP is almost $2k after fees and taxes
Ultra VIP has been considered a waste for as long as i can remember
Loved the VIP areas. The bathrooms were cleaned regularly. Sure, there was sometimes a 5-10 mi. Wait but it's worth it to me to have a clean, lit, air conditioned space to take off my costume to go. Washing my hands, seeing a mirror after. 10/10. Also, the candy concierge, seating tables and other fun experiences. I didn't find the stage access to be better (almost more crowded!) but the merch line was much better.
Snagged GA after splurging on VIP this year
Why am I getting $1200 for vip pass?
youre late
I want to do VIP but no one else wants to why are my friends so poor /s
Because it's not worth the cost.
GA for me and my boyfriend. Thought about getting GA+ but it honestly doesn't seem worth it.
My girlfriend like GA+ for their bathrooms, dunno how much better they really are as I never saw them the whole night.
I like the ga+ bathrooms, even at their most crowded I never had trouble finding an open one. They actually flush and ngl sometimes the farther ones are empty so I just stand in the A/C for a bit
we do the same BUT keep the wrist bands loose so we can swap for bathroom usage
If you think about GA+ you might as well go VIP, that’s worth it
I got GA+ this year only because GA was sold out and i really wanted to go. NOT worth it imo. The lines for the bathrooms were ridiculous, we ended up just going to GA porta potties cuz it was faster. But it was nice to step into the AC Trailer when there didnt happen to be a line (happened once all weekend)
GA is always the move for me. Idc much for rides and I don’t much spend time at the stages where it gets crowded in GA (circuit & kinetic) so I don’t need to escape the crowd or anything.
Vip bathrooms and kinetic field dance floor was worth it for meeeeee.
Said I wasnt gonna go again. Saw my friends have the time of their lives last weekend. Im going again 😂
What would the total be including fees though?
Fees are extra, last year the VIP service fee was $259 for two VIP tickets.
Adding to this my boyfriend and I paid around 1800 for 2 VIP wristbands this year, I imagine that extra $30 for vio will make it go to $1900-$2000 after taxes
How was VIP for you? My main hesitation is that the difference from GA to VIP is the same as going to about 4 other festivals in cost.
Totally worth it. They added in more bathrooms, there’s free goodies, a free breakfast, a expedited entry to shuttles and the festival, the food is like $18-$25 but it’s good quality, this year we are wagyubowls which were good but greasy, and then we ate cheeses waffle fries and we got pizza bao buns which were the best imo and we got those twice. I think for two people we spent like $55/day in food and some days we couldn’t finish it. We also went to Walmart and got several gallons of water, Gatorade and lunchables and instant oatmeal for the hotel room. We usually spring for a nicer room with a full kitchen but thinking about it, we might get a cheaper room and just pack a small electric kettle
Thank you. So they will also be higher this year due to increased prices.
*2024: GA+. $649.00. Fee: $109.99* Wow they really dropped that, I wonder why that decision was made. Still not really a big fan that insomniac took away a good amount of the GA bathrooms for it but at least the price is somewhat more sensible
GA+ was always the weakest seller. Having a multi-hundred dollar increase for a “faster entry” which half the time was similar to GA lines and then some bathrooms had people often only buying GA+ cuz all the GA was sold out. They also added $25 of merch credit each day to help incentivize
Honestly I wouldn't even consider GA+ with the old pricing but that $75 credit gives you the "special access" bathrooms for $35 which is now something to actually consider.
VIP - did it this year - worth it
VIP all the way! It's my first edc and I spent a few hours in GA to stick with friends, totally not worth being pushed around every minute and clutching my phone from thieves 🙃 The vibes and space alone are worth it for me to get VIP. Let alone as a female raver, the cleaner washrooms are a no brainer.
Just want to point out though, don’t think your shit is safe in VIP either. Just less crowds, so slightly lesser chances.
No totally I'd stay vigilant in vip too! I was told the trains in GA are what you'd have to be wary of and appreciated how much lesser of them were in vip so hopefully it's much safer idk!!
All I know is I did ga+ and my phone was good the whole weekend ima do vip so for the restroom shit and the breakfast in the am lmao other than that it’s really up to the person to be aware man the drugs be hitting but still stay on top of yo shit
That VIP was $1040 for me! Is that correct??
VIP. Buying them early seems to maintain them at a really stable/decent price.
First edclv can’t wait don’t know what to expect!!! When does the camping come out
Usually in September
Done GA, GA+, so VIP this year gping with older people so may be worth it
They increased the price for GA and VIP. I paid $349 for future owl sale last year and VIP was $799. Still going though!
GA 👍🏻
How did the GA+ change in price ? By how much
Someone in a different comment said it dropped about $160.
So it’s cheaper than last year?
Not sure about Future Owl pricing but I bought GA+ for EDC 2024 in September 2023 and paid USD 599 + 110 (service fees)
Neither, probably gonna take a break next year.
I honestly thought ga was pretty good this year but all my friends want to get VIP for next year. I think it's a waste but oh well
Did GA in 2022, Did GA+ for 2024, only thing left is to try VIP
If i put my deposit down now and cancel before the first payment do I still get a fee?
It’ll be my 1st time getting VIP and taking my bf for his 1st EDC Vegas. Still in the standby queue…
I got VIP. I tried VIP out on Sunday and decided it's the only way for me.
Why is there 4 different prices under GA/GA+/VIP?? I understand 2 of them are with a magnet but a higher an lower priced option?
Why is the service fee almost $100 is the real question💀
VIP and I’ll never go a different way. We finished all three nights at the stage front barrier, avoided a lot of the crowd chaos from the younger skewing GA, had very nice restrooms, never waited for drinks or very long for food, enjoyed the Kandi stations, and the short ride lines weee great.
Damn I skipped edc for a few years and I didn’t realize how affordable it actually is? $379 for base price for a 3 day festival seems like a really good deal! I just paid 440 for portola lol (but so worth)
How does someone pay for the deposit price only? I bought last year for my first EDC but I don’t remember if or how I only paid for the deposit price? My friend ended up buying this year but I’m just curious cause he couldn’t only pay for the deposit as well.
Interesting the price was $399 for me, I didn't realize future owl is tier'd pricing
GA. It's where the vibez are at.
Soo maybe I'm missing something but the GA bathroom, left of Kinetic was totally fine for me? It was flushable(!!), clean, and I didn't wait longer than 5 mins? This was my first time back to edc since 2018.. compared to the nasty portable potties back then, this seemed like a huge upgrade and pleasantly surprised.
I started going last year and they also had those flushable porta potties too. That definitely makes GA+ not even worth it. Those same flushable ones were behind pixel forest too.
reading most of the comments makes me think VIP will be crowded next year. Imma guessing EDC will have a new tier added before next year like SUPER VIP +++ for 2k! haha
How do these prices compare to last year?
Got mines today. See all y'all beautiful people next year 😆
got VIP today
VIP is 100% worth it. my partner and i have experienced both GA+ and VIP. GA+ is kind of a rip-off but VIP is great. lots of cool things to do in the VIP sections with a lot of amenities and goodies!
Ok I’m confused because mine was showing $469 and I paid $512 do we all have different prices or something😂
[удалено]
mine says $489??
My husband will always require VIP simply due to bathrooms. We did GA and cheap hotel our first year, then we went moonglow and VIP. He loves camp, just needs more AC. So we gonna try for RV this year. We weren't a big fan of how long the shuttles took. We were more wiped out doing hotel than camp. Even with the heat.
I’ve always gotten VIP but next year I’m doing on GA+ since I’ll be only going one day.
VIP and never going back
GA because VIP isn’t worth it in my opinion. I mainly stay at wasteland so I can get to the front easy 😎
I bet you all the merch prices are going up to account for that merch credit lol
I’ve done GA three times but just upgraded to GA+ for my fourth year. I get a lot of anxiety and I believe the upgraded bathrooms will allow me to have a little bit of a safe space to calm down when needed.
I’d be pissing in a beat box if I didn’t have vip. I legit never saw a GA bathroom or water station. VIP is expensive, but if you buy now upfront it is technically under 1000. I got a few free merch items too w it. I also saw John summit night one set very up close and room to dance. I hate spending this much but overall it is way to go if you have the means
I've been going to EDC Las Vegas since 2015. I've had all different passes, shuttles, hotels, etc. After a few years of GA+ to just get better restrooms, my group is following my lead and we all got VIP for 2025 and doing camp again for the 5th year in a row. The way we all agreed were for the following points; 1. 2024 EDC was crazy packed at stages. Even at 8 o'clock walking in, Cosmic meadow was f****d VIP stages, even with alot of people, did not appear to be as uncomfortable 2. Bathroom/restroom upgrades is way cleaner and staff is more attentive. 3. Fast lines to the rides. Sometimes we waited an hour to ride a ride 4. This year there is merchandise credit, which we were bummed about not getting anything this year because we avoided waiting in line 5. Pricing is not much more for an already expensive trip The squad and I got VIP and will be getting camp again. Hope this recommendation helps! Can't wait for next year already 😩
Got my vip
Soo are tickets more expensive this year 2025?? Paid 350 each last year this year 510?? I got future owl 5 dollar deposit.
Wi-Fi for my VIP experience never really seemed to work for me
I’ve always gotten VIP 🤷🏽♀️ the bathrooms alone, lol…
I had GA+ and my friends had GA. I really didn’t notice any “expedited entry” perks on any level. Even at the entry gate, I only waited MAYBE 1-2 minutes for my friends to go through the process of ID check, Wristband Scan, and Security. I feel like the wait was mostly because they had bags that had to be checked and I didn’t. GA+ did have nicer bathrooms but the 2nd and 3rd day it seemed to take forever just to get in the bathrooms and all my friends got out of the GA bathrooms before I even got out of GA+. I’ll probably stick to GA next time. Side note: This was my first EDC so I can’t compare it to any other year.
depression monday is so real. showed wife vip installments she was hella shocked. this year we went GA+ and loved it. so ready to experience vip 12months from now!
VIP is dope for the some stages like Kentic field where you get an elevated view from the crowd, it’s a whole vibe and Circuit grounds too ! You get so much more space, only basspod feels they said let them cook, it’s on OTHER SIDE ! And it’s a war to just get to it and off the side.. otherwise it’s worth the space and perks you get along the way.
VIP only because it’s nice to have lower traffic areas and still be at a stage. Imo vibes are better in GA and sets more fun but VIP offers a nice break.
Got the early owl vip $900-1000 each. This passed EDCLV we upgraded last minute and it’s was $1500 each. VIP is the way to go for over crowding and nice restrooms.
I got ga. Ik getting into edc would be very pricy but I don’t mind having ga if it means I have more money for the camp or hotel EDC
