VIP or GA @ Gorge: Is it worth it?

Just decided last night we're going to go to the Gorge Saturday night show. A couple of things:

1. It's my first Gorge show. I was supposed to go last year, but got uterine cancer and the resulting hysterectomy meant no Gorge. Healthy now!

2. There's GA and VIP seating still available for purchase. What are your thoughts on each? Is it worth the money to avoid the hassle? (By going VIP?)

Thanks, all!

    If you're only going one night and have the money, I would do VIP....It's a nice treat....Stay for Sunday and do GA one of the nights???

    Make sure if you do VIP it is the Warehouse/Caravan VIP, and not the Livenation VIP. They are two different things.

    Glad to hear you're doing well

    Re: VIP or GA @ Gorge: Is it worth it?

    The Warehouse/Caravan VIP includes what is listed on the Caravan site:

    Want the complete Caravan experience? Purchase a 3-day Caravan VIP Package: all-day-access to reserved viewing sections at each stage and a VIP hospitality area (with VIP restrooms) serving complimentary snacks, beer, water and soft drinks, plus a gourmet buffet dinner each night from 5pm to 8 pm. Three-day Caravan VIP Packages are $825.00 (plus fees) and include a souvenir VIP pass. If you’re a Warehouse member, you’ll also get a complimentary voucher for every VIP package you buy, redeemable on site for a gift. VIP Packages may be purchased in full or for three payments of $275.

    There are other VIP tickets that are sold each year for the Gorge that includes access to the Cliff House lounge (a bar/lounge that's onsite) and a few other small things, but not the complimentary snacks, beer, water and soft drinks, plus a gourmet buffet dinner each night from 5pm to 8 pm. These tickets are usually sold through secondary markets such as ebay....I would suggest that if you go VIP, just check with the seller that they are the VIP's that include the buffet; that should clear up any uncertainty.

    The Gorge is life-changing!!! Due to just starting a new job, I don't think I'll be there this year unless I hit the lottery soon. Hope this helps.

    Thanks so much for the clarification!
