To find the cheapest Summerfest tickets, it's important to check both the primary and secondary ticket markets. Based on the demand for a given event, resale marketplaces like TicketIQ may be more or less expensive than face value options available through primary ticketing platforms like Ticketmaster, Frontgate, SeeTickets, or Tixr. VIP tickets often sell out the quickest and provide lots of amenities like private bathrooms and meet and greets. For multi-day festivals, the first night is often the cheapest and features the lower-profile headliner. For festivals that span multiple weekends, like Austin City Limits and Coachella, the first weekend is usually more expensive. While many ticket buyers prefer to wait until the last minute to purchase festival tickets, early-bird rates for festivals are often 10%-20% cheaper than prices on the day of the event, which rewards buyers who can lock in tickets as soon as the dates or lineup is announced.

If you are looking for tickets that fall on the cheaper side, General Admission tickets are the best option. On TicketIQ, the majority of seats we sell for festivals are GA tickets. Some festivals also offer military and student discounts that can save 10%-15% compared to full face value prices.

If you are looking for more expensive tickets, VIP tickets are the best option. Each festival has its own menu of VIP options, which typically consist of a standard VIP, which comes with private lounge access, seats that are close to the stage as well as other items like posters, T-shirts, and merchandise. Platinum and other premium VIP options can come with all-inclusive food and alcohol options, elevated viewing platforms, meet and greets as well as transportation from the parking lot to the main stages.

Earlybird Summerfest tickets are can be available the day after the event or in some cases a few weeks after the event. VIP tickets sometimes go on sale ahead of general admission sales. Sometimes large bands like Pearl Jam will also make festival tickets available through their fan club, especially if it's an artist-themed festival like Posty Fest which is put on by Post Malone at AT&T Stadium in Dallas.

Almost all festivals have a VIP option and often come with exclusive viewing areas, preferred parking, and camping near the venue, as well as private restrooms. Some may even include the opportunity for a meet and greet with the artist or experience a soundcheck. Each festival may offer different amenities and access for VIP tickets, so it’s important to evaluate whether the additional cost is worth it. VIP entrances can also save you lots of walking every day, which can be great, especially in hot or wet weather conditions.

Depending on the number of artists on the line-up card each day, festivals can begin as early as 11am. Most festivals kick off their main stage later in the afternoon and early evening, and the headliners usually take the stage after it gets dark outside.

Only the biggest festivals actually sell out, and those include the biggest names like Coachella, Summerfest, Bottlerock Napa, Lollapalooza, EDC Las Vegas, and Rolling Loud Festival. Other than these top-tier festivals, most festivals have tickets available until a month or so before the festivals. Some festivals have tickets available day of the festivals. A lot of festivals do sell out VIP and camping tickets early on in the on sale process, which means you should buy those tickets well ahead of time if you’re interested.
