Lost Lands Tickets

General Admissions

Obviously, this is the most basic ticket package that you can get. Tickets are $249 (before fees) and grant you access to ONLY 3 days of the festival, a pair of high fidelity earplugs and an official Lost Lands pin.

If you plan on arriving on Wednesday or Thursday, YOU MUST purchase the respective early arrival ticket AS WELL.

VIP Admission

A step up from General Admissions, this package gives fellow headbangers a little more luxury. These tickets are $374 (before fees) and give the holders 3-day access to the festival. This package also includes VIP viewing areas at both stages, VIP fast-entry lane, exclusive bathrooms, food and alcohol vendors, and of course a pair of high fidelity earplugs, and an official Lost Lands pin.

If you plan on arriving on Wednesday or want to arrive Thursday/go to the pre-party YOU WILL need to purchase the Wednesday/Thursday early-arrival add-on.

Early Entry Add-Ons

Pretty straight forward, but for the sake of ease and less confusion, I’m adding these into the ticket options! These passes are REQUIRED if you and your friends plan on arriving early. Each person that plans on arriving on Wednesday or Thursday must have their own early arrival pass.

Wednesday, Early-Arrival

For this year, Excision has added an EXTRA day to the festival. Although it seems a little extra (considering there aren’t any events/music/installations at this particular venue), it’s a great option for those of you who like to set up camp early and chill. This option is $79 (before fees) and DOES NOT grant access to the venue Friday-Sunday.

For those of you arriving on Wednesday, you DO NOT need to purchase an early entry pass for Thursday. Your Wednesday pass gives you entry to Thursday events, INCLUDING the Pre-Party.

Thursday, Early-Arrival & Pre-Party

Just like last year, headbangers are able to head over to Legend Valley on Thursday. And just like last year, there is going to be a huge pre-party for everyone with the appropriate tickets! For those of you who AREN’T hip, this pre-party is basically all of your favorite artists going b2b2b2b2b2b2b2b2b2b ALL. NIGHT. LONG.

These tickets are $59 (before fees) and give you access to set up your campsite and location on Thursday. They also give you access to the pre-party! This pass is required EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT CAMPING. Think of it as your pre-party ticket.

Parking Pass Add-Ons

For those of you who are camping, you only need ONE camping pass PER CAR that you plan to camp next to. I.E. If four people are in a car, only ONE camping pass is required, and FOUR tickets (GA or VIP) are required.

For those of you who don’t need to camp next to their car, or are camping in quiet camping, someone else’s tent, etc. but need somewhere to park your car, this is the add-on you need. This ticket is $49 (before fees) and gives you somewhere to park for the entire weekend. This pass is also good for those of you who are choosing to arrive early (Wednesday/Thursday).

RAVE HACK: For those of you who don’t want to park, or camp next to their car, I highly suggest checking out the shuttle options available!

Miscellaneous Add-Ons

Here are some additional Lost Lands tickets add-ons. These are not required for anyone to buy, but it’s to know they’re available!

Prehistoric Merch Bundle

Are you a huge merch lover? You already know I’m a sucker for anything merch so this option was super appealing to me. If you already plan on buying lost lands merch, ‘buy ahead’ with this add-on and save a little extra on it too. You get an exclusive pre-order colorway 2019 T-shirt, Excision drawstring bag, and an official Lost Lands pin all for $49 (before fees). Also to note- you pick up this bundle at the MAIN merch booth inside the venue.

Charging Lockers

Charging lockers are great for not only charging your phone somewhere safe but also have somewhere to store you ‘extra’ things. For $50 (before fees) you can reserve your locker for the entire weekend! There are three options available to choose from:

• GA Festival – this is a 3-day locker rental INSIDE the festival grounds
• GA Tent Only Camping – 3-day locker rental in General Admission Tent Only camping
• Tent Only Close OR Glamping – 3-day locker in Tent Only Close Camping OR Deluxe & Basic Glamping

NOTE: Sadly there aren’t any options that allow you to purchase a locker inside the event and in camping areas if you want one for each you’ll have to purchase two passes (one for each area you want a locker in).

If you’re looking for something more in-depth and specific, head over here to check out the official Rave Hacker’s Guide to Bonnaroo! It goes over all the different options you can get for tickets and camping. It even includes what kind of gear I recommend bringing to just about any camping music festival! Check it all out here.

Bonnaroo Tickets

Picking tickets out for Bonnaroo is one of the easier decisions! They keep it relatively straight forward when it comes to options. Just like previous years, Bonnaroo offers GA, VIP and Platinum tickets. However, for 2020, they’re bringing out a new stop for every one. For this year we also have the option for GA+. You can learn about what’s included in each ticket and how much they cost over here.

Bonnaroo Camping

For 2020, Bonnaroo is spicing things up for 2020. The biggest change is that they’re including A BRAND NEW security check-in to make the lines into the festival shorter. They’re also going to be filling in the grounds from FRONT TO BACK, which means it’s truly first come first serve y’all.

Once you’ve finally purchased your ticket though, it’s time to find a solution for your camping. Bonnaroo offers several different types of camping. Obviously there are the normal GA, VIP and Platinum tickets. However, this year, they have tons of different ‘add-on’ camping options either for souvenir/Le Bon tents, or tents that you can actually rent and camp within the GA camping area.

There are tons of different options when it comes to Bonnaroo and making sure that you buy the right tickets and camping is the first thing you need! For the rest of the month (and after) I’m going to be going through all of the different things I wish I had known before attending Bonnaroo! Learn more about Bonnaroo over on the Survival Guide, here.
