    Tickets alone can go up to $2,750 “plus taxes and fees”

    What the fuck!? That plus the RV need mean that “festival” is basically drawing money from well off people and from people who are too abused to notice they ought to create their own festivals (as plenty of people in Europe and Africa do).

      Operating phrase here is “up to”.

      Nornal tickets for the week are like 550+150 for camping. 5000 people are also given discounted tickets for lime 250 bucks.

      Every event ever has an absurdly high top end on VIP tickets lol

        Over here we mostly do lotteries at the good festivals which always have the same price for everyone (except for people who help who have to pay less or get free entry). Its around 300$ maximum and sometimes as cheap as 20$ per day (depending on festival).

        This skimming the cream thing is a very USA thing to do. I would argue to have 7% of the people (out of 70k) with reduced tickets is another USA thing in which a bit of charity instead of solidarity is used to hide that economic power buys you better positions, nicer entry and such.

        However I would accept your argument if 60k do pay much less than 2750$ plus RV cost.
