As the air gets warmer and spring flowers, the music festival season is upon us. From Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Tennessee in June to Lollapalooza in Chicago in August, music lovers across the country will soon begin attending festivals; you can draw hundreds of thousands of fans.
It's easy to get caught up in the excitement and spend a bundle on everything from tickets to places water bottles. But with a little forethought, it is easy to reduce excess spending and enjoy the music and excitement without breaking the bank.
BEFORE YOU GO: Tickets are generally expensive, but if you plan well in advance, at least can shave some money and buy early bird discount. Cheapest rates, consider whether you want to buy a day pass or two instead of a full festival pass.
Camping is the cheapest lodging option, of course. But if that's not an option, or if you prefer to stay in a hotel, book your hotel before your ticket recommended Andrew Young, editorial director of North American travel site Travelzoo . The cheapest hotel rooms fill up quickly, and flights can be more flexible.
Also make sure to check for a secondary airport in the region of the party that could have the cheapest rates. And if you have a day or two to spare for your vacation, come a day early and leave a day late, when the cheapest flights are more likely , says Young.
