True...we are young(ish), two incomes, and no kids...makes it easier to justify when we can budget for that type of expense. I just see it as paying $1550 for 4 nights in a really small hotel, but location, location, location. We are going to Amsterdam this spring, and one of the hotels we are staying at (work conference, so they are paying) is a lot more than $387.50/night, so it's all relative. Personally i've never paid this much per night to stay anywhere until the gorge, but it was worth not having to camp, have a shower whenever i wanted, privacy, and quite.

    per tent. they have a single queen, two twins, or 4 cots

    so you could very well do it for ~97 per person per night

    Hi there all. Can anyone who's been in oasis tell me if the beds are real beds or air mattresses? Thanks!

    Planning is half the fun, but I could decide to go in June an be OK with that.


    As a first timer last year, I went overboard with it. But better safe than sorry. Theoretically, I could decide much later this year. Tickets were readily available last year (both camping and concert) and I have a much better idea of what I need and how to make it work (in store pickup). Plus, I still have a lot of my stuff from last year like lights left over.

    Yea we will probably just do Premier. When I do my request through WH, just to make sure, it's 1 ticket per vehicle right? so if we have 4-5 people and 2-3 tents it's just 1 ticket per space?

    I doubt we'd have 3 tents as we'd have our 5th wheel tent with someone else who is planning on going haha

    Yea that was how it worked last year but I’d double check to make sure they haven’t changed anything.

    curbside pickup of groceries thanks to pre-ordering was a HUGE time saver and one of the smartest things i did last year.

    no question that will be the route to go moving forward.

    First time requesting tickets this early through the WH. Didn't realize you had to take the risk of getting reserved seats if you don't get confirmed for PIT.

    Ended up just requesting a camping pass.. will deal with the PIT search later Good luck all!

    Will put in for camping, and thinking about the 3-day lawn pass. is there any reason not to request that through WH? Do lawns become even cheaper than that at some point?
