What the screenshot shows
- General Admission Camping Wristband: $374.75 (plus ticketing fees)
- Camp Good Times: $599.00 (plus ticketing fees)
- Site text about tent-only camping, early arrival add-ons, and a new Tuesday load-in option for 2020
Reddit highlights
- Some folks remembered snagging tickets for under $300 — one person said they got theirs for $250 back in 2012, another for under $300 in 2014.
- One OP was ready to buy in 2020, waited in queue, and got shut out — then joked they didn’t mind that the fest was canceled after all.
- Others kept their canceled 2020 tickets for the following year and loved the experience when they finally made it.
- There were also rational takes on price hikes: festival costs and general travel expenses have gone up, and some treat a four-day fest like a vacation when comparing hotel + flights vs ticket + camping.
Bottom line: seeing those 2020 prices is equal parts a nostalgia trip and a reminder of how festival economics have shifted. Whether you’re team “tickets used to be dirt cheap” or team “I’ll pay for the weekend experience,” the debate will never die.
