As of right now don't know if I will be able to afford to break the bank again for next year. If I can land a job and get the time off after graduating next year then k we go for sure

[Alpine50]

For the people that have gone before is it better to purchase your ticket as soon as they drop? Do they sell out really fast? I was hoping to save a little more cash till like Feb/March and then grab my ticket? Or is that not a smart idea. Also did you guys do just regumregular tickets or did you get VIP tickets. My friend told me line ups for shuttles are insane and everything you gotta deal with if you don't so thought that might be something to look into.

For the guys that are thinking of going next year a friend of mine also said this was the last year they're doing it in Vegas?

[Chronix]

You either grab it right at the beginning when its on sale or right at the end from desperate sellers/last minute cancelers (One of my friend canceled last minute and had to sell it for like $200.) Anything in between will be expensive.

Just get regular tickets. Some ppl just bribed the guards like $20 for VIP access for the night lol.

Shuttles/cab/limo wait times will be long and packed regardless. Especially coming back from the desert. Nothing you can really do about it.

The most important thing is accomodation though. That should be done ASAP.

[RRxtar]

Go back and look at the last 2 threads.

Im pretty sure if you dont get early bird, all tickets are priced the same after that. They do sell out, but not within a month. Get your Hotel ASAP tho. Prices start climbing pretty steady once tickets go on sale.

I wouldn't bother with VIP for how much it costs. I have a bunch of friends that got VIP the last 2 years and for the most part they didnt spend much time in the VIP areas. There is so much going on around the festival I wouldn't want to feel obligated to spend time in the VIP areas.

Depending on what hotel you stay at, and what time you plan to stay at the festival until, the shuttles can be either shit, or not too bad. The festival runs until 5:30am, so if you plan to catch a shuttle at 5:30am, you end up waiting an hour for it. If you leave at 4:45-5am like we did every day for the last 2 years, sometimes you can walk right on or wait 15-20 minutes.

The best part of the shuttle is not having to fucking worry about it. You know theres going to be shuttles. You get on it, drink and party in a great atmosphere of like 75 other people going with you, and arrive at the festival. And man, the feeling you get stepping off that bus, with literally thousands of other people stepping off hundreds of busses with the festival lights and sounds waiting for you is magical. One of my favorite memories. And then when you're ready to leave, you know where the bus is, you get on it, and sleep for an hour on the ride back. I've done the shuttles 2 years and would definitely again.

From what I understand their current agreement with the speedway runs out in 2015. But there is talk of making it a double weekend festival starting in 2016 like Ultra/Coachella/Tomorrowland all are now. I don't think it will leave Vegas. There arent many places that can handle a festival that big, with 500,000 people pouring into the city for it.

OMG this! I'm getting the feels again. We had singalongs in the shuttle and what not and then when you meet the same group of ppl on the same shuttle again. And the feelings everyone get when stepping off from the shuttle. It's nuts! Fucking awesome mate

[nabs]

Just an FYI for those getting Hotels for deals off the EDC site...

Mandalay Bay will try to screw you over and tell you that the hotel room you booked is not available because you got it for a good rate, they will try to downgrade your room when you get there.

Either stand your ground or don't deal with this Hotel at all. We were eventually able to get the hotel we booked at the rate we booked it at but after a little arguing.

[RRxtar]

Id recommend against Mandalay Bay anyway. I stayed there last year because of the pool (fucking awesome pool/beach) but theres no shade anywhere so you cant spend the day relaxing anyway. But there werent many choices for regular food, and everything else is way too far away down the strip.

And the shuttle pick up is like a 20 minute walk to the complete other end of the hotel/convention center. Not worth it, imo.


Had good luck with Aria the year before. It was cheaper and WAY nicer and central on the strip. Great pool for daytime relaxing. Best part was the shuttle lines were always considerably shorter than the other hotels.

[Special K]

Just booked Venetian! :fuckyea:

First timer here - do the tickets sell out within seconds (i.e. I have to check out quick) or do they usually sit for a few days?

[nabs]

they don't sell out right away. They are usually available for a while, cheapest tickets are right at the beginning though.

[Special K]

Waiting in line... Wtf

[JSALES]

my wait time is 13 mins

[Special K]

1 minute now... Going for 6 tickets lol

[JHuJHu]

15 min wait time of peace.

[JSALES]

wtf man, it said 1 min wait and then now i'm waiting 15 mins again

[Special K]

Wtf... Early tickets all gone. Now $388

[JSALES]

Have you got through yet? I'm still waiting

[Special K]

I got thru at 12:10pm with early tickets $367 but timed out because I needed to change to 5 tickets and deciding whether or not to pick up in the States.

After that... Got in at 12:35pm $388 so I didn't check out.

Trying one more time right now and I'm still wheeling.

[Special K]

Booked now $388 each. Smh...

[JSALES]

I finally got through, I had 3 tabs open and the last tab got me through

[nabs]

hmm, i guess its good that they are doing it through ticketmaster now. However I did like the idea of the Flavorus pass card.

[nabs]

I finally got through, I had 3 tabs open and the last tab got me through

For future reference:

multiple tabs don't help you get through any faster, it actually slows down the process for yourself. Your timer is "reset" everytime you send in a new request from the same mac address on the same IP address. So it actually may have cost you your early bird ticket if thats what you were going for. Which is why your last tab got you through. If you were doing it on your phone and on your laptop at the same time, that's a different story.

[RickyTan3]

Anyone book their hotel and flight yet?

Been a fucking nightmare for me... finally got it booked though

[nabs]

I SHOULDN'T HAVE WATCHED THE MOVIE "UNDER THE ELECTRIC SKY" TONIGHT

:tears: :tears: :tears:

Take ME BACKKK

[blkgsr]

Where's everyone recommending to stay?

my wife and i might head down

[JSALES]

Fuck something came up and I may have to refund my tickets..

[roflwaffle604]

Strong temptation to book EDC trip lately. Wonder if flight+hotel prices are too ridiculous at this point tho...

[JSALES]

Any tips for what to bring to EDC? Light bag etc..? First time going

[tomatogunk]

camelbak and make sure to fill it with ice from the local vendors there

[Special K]

Is parking free? It's not clear on the website.

T-3 days!

[JSALES]

camelbak and make sure to fill it with ice from the local vendors there

My friend will be bringing one but I don't have one myself, maybe I should go buy one

[Vansterdam]

My friend will be bringing one but I don't have one myself, maybe I should go buy one

trust me you should

and def get ice from a vendor

[JSALES]

How thorough do they search you when entering??

[Chronix]

^Not very lol.

[JSALES]

I'm hearing different things lol, don't know what I should expect

[nabs]

They are pretty lax at security.

[krazynuck]

From what I remember last year the Friday night was the most 'thorough' inspection. They pat you down, check your wallet/purse...hat rim, cigarette box. If I remember they made me throw my gum away.

If you take any empty bottles in they will check that as well. Other than that pretty lax.

I do remember seeing a lot of undercover cops though in the actual fair grounds...

I miss EDC :(

[Chronix]

It really depends on who you get that searches you. Be nice and polite and they seemed to be pretty lax. I think it's a hit and miss with security.

Avoid random people asking you if you have any drugs. Those are properly undercovers.

I was approached about three times last year and I said no each time and they will just walk away.

[Special K]

The booklet says a foreign drivers license must be accompanied by a coloured photocopy of your passport.

That seems like a hassle... Would my USA issued Nexus card be sufficient rather than BCDL + photocopy of passport?

[nabs]

^^
BC Drivers License works, they don't ask for passport photo if it scans through the system, I had no problem all 3 days.

You would rather risk losing your NEXUS card that you're not sure will work, and is a hassle to replace, than using ur BCDL + Photocopy of passport which is dead simple to replace????

Just think about what you're saying for a second.

[Special K]

Good call. I will photocopy my passport.

[krazynuck]

There's a live stream on yahoo...

I miss this :(

[Verdasco]

livestream on twitch maybe? it was a big success for UMF...

[Special K]

First time going and it was pretty cool. Though I feel like this is a one-time only experience.

The lines were quick if you know when to enter/leave.

[Mining]

Went for the 3 days from beginning to finish each day and raged hard! Spent most of my time at Kinetic Field and Circuit Grounds. Of course had to drop by BassPod, Wasteland, and Cosmic meadows.

[Obsideon]

I told myself I wasn't gonna go hard on Day 3 as I wanted my body to recover on Monday but holy fuck the back to back to back of Calvin Harris, Alesso and Tiesto was friggin' OFF, THE, HOOK! Blew my mind!
One of the best sets I've heard from Tiesto in a very long time! I was 110% drained but pushed through.

Paying for it now though lol.
