    Going to be an interesting year. Bend is there too, and we're trying to save for a wedding that's happening in 2019. Decisions. Nonetheless, group still requested a premier spot and tickets.
    Doofie!!!! Congrats on planing for the wedding.
    Hope all is well!

    I know you get what you pay for, but somebody give me the real deal between the pricing levels for venue camping. Keep in mind we are 1 car. 1 tent, very low maintenance campers. Im thinking the lowest tier will suffice or am I fooling myself?

    My rough plan is to attempt to book a spot at wildhorse tomorrow morning, and if that should fail request venue camping along with my tickets.

    Is there another great option out there im overlooking?

    will be in oasis camping. never camped at gorge before and don't really like roughing it, so seemed like a happy medium. also love the in-n-out privileges (not talking about sex--or am I?)

    How do you book Oasis? My wife does not camp, and IDK about renting an RV if they dont have hook ups.

    email vip.seattle@livenation.com to be put on a waiting list--I was told that they don't anticipate it selling out on the day of it going on sale (same time/date as public on-sale for tickets) but it doesn't hurt to be put on the list.

    as a warning, it is probably going to be very expensive. not quite as expensive as renting an RV and buying a terrace spot though

    I'm assuming anywhere from $1500-$2500 (2 person)...so i figure a hotel for 4 nights is normally $800-$1000...so it'll be paying a premium just for location, and i'm good with it.

    I think that's probably a little high on your high end but you are definitely in the neighborhood

    it was quite difficult to find pricing history, but I saw that for some festival that took place in sept of 17, the price was 1259 for 3 nights of camping

    so I think the 1600-1700 range is probably to be expected given that this is 4 nights of camping

    I do kinda wish that terrace access was included but then again I really like that nobody but oasis can come into oasis, so it's pretty hypocritical of me to want access to other sites

    Wildhorse does. Their RV spots are around $400-500 (I think) and will sell out instantly tomorrow, but they definitely have them.

    Thank you! Duh I found that in the FAQ right after I asked.

    How does everyone manage the no hook ups thing? Is there problems with having gas for the generators and water for everything else??

    The gorge FAQ link is listing quiet times for everywhere else...not a fan of those.
    $3 for a shower? Yeah I can deal with that
    Portable toilets? Been there doing that.
    No view? Not really a problem since im doing lawn all 3 nights anyways and will get my views there.
    Walk to 0.8 miles the venue? Yes I would love to!

    What am I missing???

    Re: ***Official Boxed Fireball @ Gorge 2018***

    The only thing giving me pause is that ill be a very late Thursday or even early Friday arrival...If im in the general camping area do I need to be concerned of getting stuck in an undesirable area of camp?

    Would a higher priced tier allow me to not worry because you get a "reserved" spot or is it still first come first serve in that regard?

    Working on finding this info myself through the FAQ's as much as possible but some of this information im just not seeing.

    I would argue that the entirety of the general camping area meets the definition of an undesirable area of camp

    In 2016, Oasis gave me access to everything as I was able to bike over to Premier, bud, and pregame with various crews. They let me stroll through Tearass, asswell. (I did not try Gold, but they didn't seem very fun)

    Can someone give me an unbiased opinion of the party scene at wildhorse? Im not going to be raging or acting a fool, but im also not incredibly interested in calming down at midnight. I want people to mingle with in the wee hours!

    With this in mind, can I go to Wildhorse and still have unimpeded fun or am I better off looking elsewhere?

    You need to talk to Cody our resident wook.

    I believe he's on Jam Cruise at the moment though.

    Folks on the WH boards think it might be a glich. I haven't looked at it yet, but sounds like it shows the max fee (which I assume is Terrace) regardless of which level you select (just to cover best case scenario when doing Temps); and there's an opt-out box that also effects it?
