With Shambhala Music Festival just weeks away (July 25–28, 2025), latecomers hunting tickets have reason to rejoice. The resale scene on r/Shambhala is buzzing as ticket prices have dropped significantly compared to previous years, creating a buyer’s market for those still looking to attend.
The festival’s tickets originally sold out in under 24 hours after their release last September, reflecting the high demand for this iconic BC event. However, recent posts show sellers offering tickets at steep discounts—some as low as $150 to $200 USD. This is a considerable dip from last year’s resale prices, which often stayed around the $400 to $500 CAD mark.
- Many original buyers purchased early to avoid last-minute stress.
- Others are now holding tickets at lower prices, looking to offload them quickly.
- The community is split on resale ethics: debates continue about fairness when selling below face value versus holding out for a premium.
This year’s price trend favors buyers prepared to move fast and navigate the resale offerings carefully. However, festivalgoers should remain mindful of the legal landscape around ticket resale in Canada. Laws in provinces like Quebec and Ontario restrict reselling tickets above face value and impose penalties for violations.
It’s advisable to verify local regulations and consult Shambhala’s official ticket policies before purchasing on the secondary market to avoid complications. Still, for those aiming to catch the electrifying energy of Shambhala 2025, the current ticket resale environment presents a unique opportunity to score passes at a fraction of last year’s prices.
