Music festivals can get very pricey. Roughly the average cost ends up being about $300 for just the ticket, that doesn't include transportation money, food and other supplies you might need for the weekend being camped out at a festival. What is really nice about festivals such as Electric Forest is that they allow you to work and get paid at the festival while still being able to attend and see you're favorite artists! This program is called the WET program and it stands for "Work Exchange Team." You can apply to just work it and not have festival entrance when you are not on shift, or you can buy a special WET ticket that is extremely discounted that allows you to be an attendee and get to camp with your friends and still enjoy the weekend when your not on shift. This ticket costs $180 and the normal E forest ticket costs $400! That's a huge deal and you're still getting paid for working!
Another festival called Camp Bisco allows you to do promotional work for them in return they give you a FREE ticket! This program is called the ambassador program and the guideline is that if you sell 8 tickets you will receive a free GA ticket plus camping. When people buy tickets from you they are getting an additional $15 discount which is super nice because it makes people want to buy the tickets in order to save! My friend couldn't afford a ticket this year but really wanted to attend so she sold us all tickets and even sold 9 and ended up getting some cool upgrades because she sold more than the minimum!
it's so possible to attend music festivals even if your tight on cash for a while. You just have to look around on what kind of programs they offer for free/discounted tickets! I'll provide some links with all the information :)

Canalside Summer Concert Series
Canalside has finally announced the $5 summer concert series! Summer is the best time of the year because of all the fun things that happen ...
This is very helpful! One of my friends did this for Bonaroo one year and really enjoyed doing it. This is great for college students who want to travel and go to festivals but are also on the broke side, but are willing to work for a good time.I might just do this next year at some point because I need to get out of fredonia during spring break or something.
