    First trip there for my 40th birthday. My wife and I plan to spend a week in Washington and do a bunch of things to make it a great trip.

    Have had everything booked (except Southwest flight) since September, so I'm glad it is finally time to get tickets.

    This will be my fifth Gorge trip! Gonna try to snag a Wildhorse pass this time, I’ve heard nothing but great things about that campground. I did Gold last year and the convenience of not walking a mile to and from the shows was great but otherwise it felt about the same as standard camping.

    First trip for me this year. Aiming for premier camping (as I’ve been told it’s a party atmosphere that calms down at night and is close to the food and regular camping area). If anyone has any other suggestions, let me know.

    Thanks! Sorry to do this but a couple of more questions (I know there is a Gorge Q and A so I can post there if this is not the right thread), but:

    1. I have 2 WH accounts, if I request Premier Camping on both, and by some slim chance get confirmed on both accounts, is a premier camping pass transferrable (i.e., could I sell it for face value in the ticket exchange?)

    2. Should I opt out of all other camping types? I just don't want to get locked out completely, but I think I read "standard" camping never sells out. Is this true?

    3. Assuming that for all other shows I go to this summer (Spac, Jones Beach, and Hartford), I will have reserve seating and possibly pit, should I just do the 3 ticket lawn pack for the gorge, or should I be aiming for reserves. Note, if it matters, this will be my first time at the Gorge, and I'd obviously like to have a nice view of everything, not just the stage. Basically, is the lawn shitty at the Gorge?

    the lawn is not shitty. but you won't have a view of anything but the stage by the time the show starts.

    1) --can't transfer but Premier passes are EASY to sell. everyone is always looking. I would request on both.

    2) --Yes, opt out of general camping. Can always buy it there as you arrive WORST case, but that won't be necessary.


    3)--lawn is amazing. you absolutely need to do lawn at least one night (the first). Our first year we did the 3 day pass and it was wonderful. Not rowdy like Dallas/Alpine/Hartford etc.

    even now, we always do at least one night on the lawn, and then decide from there what else to do.

    congrats on booking your first Gorge expedition.

    This will be my 4th year and I'm doing lawn without question. Any other venue I would hunt for reserves... but having a group on the lawn / the path in between the lawn and the reserves are great. Acoustics are great too (compared to most other lawns)

    even now, we always do at least one night on the lawn, and then decide from there what else to do.
    Thanks for the reply! So when you say not transferable, but you can sell, that seems kind of contradictory to me. Are the camping passes just like concert tickets where I can sell them and just mail them to the purchaser? Would I need to reach out to WH and advise (i.e., is there a name linked to them that they check when you arrive)?

    As you can imagine, the idea of traveling across the USA without camping tickets is worrisome, so just to confirm, standard (GA) camping never sells out? I will definitely have a spot even if I just show up, correct?

    This will be my 4th year and I'm doing lawn without question. Any other venue I would hunt for reserves... but having a group on the lawn / the path in between the lawn and the reserves are great. Acoustics are great too (compared to most other lawns)
    Hearing both of you say the lawn is great is comforting as now I know that I can do it, AND if anybody wants to join later on, they will have no problem being with my friend and I on the lawn as opposed to trying to find a seat nearby in reserves.
