Electric Forest has quietly put dates on the calendar: loyalty presales begin Tuesday, December 9, with the general on-sale set for Friday, December 12. The festival shared the news on social, and the immediate reaction from the community was less about lineup speculation and more about the cost of getting into the woods.
Across fan threads, several longtime festivalgoers called out big jumps in car- and tent-camping prices — especially for Good Life upgrades. Commenters reported sticker shock and compared this year’s numbers to the old days when car camping was cheaper or included. A fair number of people also voiced the familiar jittery feeling around loyalty presales, with memories of wristband uncertainty from previous years still lingering for some.
Bottom line: if you plan to buy through the loyalty presale, make sure your loyalty account is up to date and your payment info is ready. Presales typically move fast and sell specific packages (Good Life, GA, car camping, etc.), so have your plan together before the clock starts.
If the recent chatter worries you about costs, consider a few options: split camping costs with friends, look for GA car-camping alternatives, or scan secondary markets and local communities only after official sales close. Remember that reported price examples you’ll see in threads reflect what users are seeing and not an official breakdown — check Electric Forest’s ticket page for exact package pricing when the sales go live.
We’ll be watching the official ticket release and the community response as presales open. For now, mark your calendar for Dec. 9 (loyalty) and Dec. 12 (public) — and expect a fast-moving sale.
