Additionally, the festival has reintroduced car camping this year in response to sold out campsites. Car camping is slightly more economical at $179 per vehicle, but that price is in addition to your passes for the actual event. For 3-day admission, prices range from $329 for GA admission to about $2000 per person for a full hotel package.
