Festival season is right around the corner, so how do you prepare? Get your tickets, book a hotel ASAP, go shopping and convince your festie bestie to do it with you… all over again.
If you’re still looking for tickets check the popular sites such as StubHub and Ticketmaster. Post on social media as well saying you’re looking for tickets and you’ll definitely find people who are selling. Be on the lookout for scammers! Even though sites and apps such as Craigslist and OfferUp may have some good results, there are scammers everywhere especially when buying online. So be careful!
Some of the best sites to shop on for your festival gear are Amazon, iHeartRaves, Forever 21, Urban Outfitters and one of my new favorites, Jaded London. Whether you’re going to Coachella, EDC, Lollapalooza, Hard Summer, or Governors Ball, these sites have everything you need for wherever you’re going.
Hotels. Probably the most annoying and difficult part of the festival planning process is finding and deciding on a hotel. However, sites like Expedia, Hotels, Trivago and Orbitz make it easy to compare prices and find the best deals. Booking earlier will obviously save you money, but if you’re a little behind on your game you’ll still find a great deal. Expedia is my personal favorite because of the reserve now, pay later option! P.S. rumour has it that Sundays are the best days to book hotels as far as deals and price drops.
Now, convincing your festie bestie to go with you. We all have those friends that say they aren’t going or can’t go for whatever reason, but we all know deep down how bad they want to go. So just remind your friend of all the fun you’ll have, memories you’ll make and how the experience wouldn’t be the same without them.
And after this, all that’s left is the countdown…
