The festival, the basic unit of electro
Unlike a classic concert sold by the date, electro is mainly consumed in a festival: an event over one or more days, with numerous parallel stages and a full line-up of DJs and live acts. You therefore buy a 'T2' pass 'T3' giving access to the event, rather than a ticket for a specific artist.
Another specificity: many electro festivals put their passes on sale 'T0' very early in 'T1', sometimes even before revealing their full programme. Buying early often means trusting the reputation of the event — with the reward of getting the lowest prices.
Types of passes and tickets
- Multi-day pass : full access to the entire duration of the festival, the reference formula.
- Day ticket: access for a single date, when the festival offers this option.
- Pass + camping: entry combined with a location on the site, common for major open-air festivals.
- VIP / premium pass : dedicated areas, privileged access or additional services, compared to the additional cost.
- Additional options : shuttles, parking, accommodation or cashless credits, sold separately depending on the event.
Buy without knowing all the programming
This is the bet specific to electro: the 'T0' first levels 'T1' frequently open before the full announcement of the artists, or even before any announcement. To decide, we then rely on the reputation of the festival, its previous editions and the desired atmosphere, more than on a specific name on the poster.
If the poster is decisive for you, it is better to wait for the first announcements - at the risk of paying a higher level. It is an arbitrage between 'T0' price 'T1' (buy early) and 'T2' certainty 'T3' (wait for programming). Please note: posters evolve and last minute changes to artists are possible.
