The r/electricdaisycarnival subreddit buzzed with nostalgic vibes after a fan shared an original Electric Daisy Carnival ticket from 2007. Priced at just $55, this ticket was for the event held on June 30, 2007, at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in Expo Park.
Comments poured in with festival-goers reminiscing about their first EDC experiences, the simple ticket design, and the vibe of those earlier, more intimate days. Many expressed bittersweet feelings about how EDC has changed—growing into a massive production at Las Vegas Motor Speedway since 2011 and costing significantly more.
This thread captured that collective longing for the festival’s roots, with fans suggesting the ticket makes a perfect keepsake or framed piece of rave history. It’s a reminder of how much EDC means to its community—not just as a legendary electronic music festival, but as a shared cultural memory that has evolved but never lost its soul.
For those curious about the evolution of EDC, here’s a quick timeline:
- 2007: EDC held in Los Angeles, ticket prices around $55
- 2011: Main event moved to Las Vegas Motor Speedway
- Present: Bigger scale, higher ticket prices, and a global EDM landmark
The thread is living proof that while stages and venues change, the spirit of EDC lives on in its fans’ stories and memorabilia.
