But before you jump out of your seat for joy, keep in mind that tickets go on sale February 9th, and are starting at a lofty price of $337.50. Think of all the food, drinks, and clothes you could buy with that. But also think of that sweet, incomparable experience held once a year at the Gorge Amphitheater in George, Washington. This year marks the 12 year anniversary of the festival, and many students argue that this line up rivals this year’s Coachella festival and the past couple line ups of Sasquatch. So, to buy or not to buy? And if you buy a ticket, keep it in a safe place and don’t forget to start investing in a good sleeping bag and tent, as well as a vehicle worth driving for six hours, and a group worth camping with for 4-5 days. You only live once, right?
