HINT: We’ve heard stories of people heading to the festival’s ticket booth and recruiting other people in the ticket line to go in with them on this deal — then one person collects the funds from the others, buys the deal online via smartphone, and everyone is scanned in at the gate.
Also, take a look at the discounted food tickets in the section below. Some food packages include the price of admission and others do not.
