I've done VIP on one day each in 2019 and 2017..I'm doing just GA this year - sure the extra space and amenities are great but the stands for VIP are far back and sight lines to the main stage from VIP standing leaves a lot to be desired. If your iffy I would avoid IMO.
The only thing that makes me question this is last year it felt way more packed in GA and now with PJ playing its going to busier then ever.
The sight lines were my biggest question about VIP, so thanks! I've been in GA 2 years and there really isn't a bad spot for viewing in GA.

Anyone not using their code and wanna pick up for me? Im gonna need between 6 and 8 for Sat/Sun...
seeing Ed solo and PJ live the same weekend would be a dream. But $1300 CDN just for regular weekend passes are a hard pass. Then we'd have to get there. My god. And besides the headliners, I don't really know ANY of the other acts.

I have always gone GA to Ohana but with the PJ craziness this year I am going VIP. The access to and from venue is so much easier and of course VIP can go in GA area if you want

That's why I went with VIPs. Sunday will be nuts. Maybe they'll do something different with the VIP location this year. Big ticket expense though. Luckily I have a free place to stay and am using points for air and car.
Does anyone have a presale code they're not going to use? I can only go one day and I accidentally bought a Saturday ticket out of habit (sigh), but I was hoping to see PJ this time around. Please PM me if you do. Thanks.

THAT!! That's what makes it so freaking crowded in the GA......

$1300 CAD for regular passes? My order came out to $880 inc fees (so yeah, I guess about $1190 CAD...damn, that sounds a lot more expensive when you put it that way). Flights from Vancouver are cheap, but it looks you're coming from the middle. We went for the first time last year, and all I can say is that it was absolutely worth every penny. The venue is just breathtaking. You can stay for cheaper in one of the nearby suburbs. The undercard is pretty spectacular, have always wanted to see The Frames (Glen Hansard's band). There is good Canadian content too with Broken Social Scene and Mac DeMarco.

bought a pair for PJ, was mulling it over to go back in and buy a pair for Saturday, but my code is disabled. Blah, at least I got a discount on Sunday. Thanks for offering this discount every year PJ! Cheers

got 2 weekend passes, so excited for this. MMJ, KoL, Brian Fallon, the Frames, Ed & PJ. 4th year going but first time getting the full weekend pass. this isn't even a music festival, its like a beach hangout with music playing. so perfect.
also the installment paying is very helpful for those buying multiple tix

I think for Sunday's show, to spare my sanity, I'll park my ass in the bleachers. It's just going to be too much to stand shoulder to shoulder next to the same, loud, drunk, smoking ass people under the sun, all day for Sunday. I could do it for 3 hours in an arena, but not at a music festival. Plus I'm short.

Whitepants, dont worry they make their way up to the bleachers too and just bullshit with their friends. Seriously why do they even go to a show if they're going to chat the whole time.

just can't. too much money. I know I'll regret not selling my own body for it, but I just can't.

Got weekend passes as well. My first time for Ohana and I'm pumped. If I'm going to go to a festival this is the kind of location I want it to be. Super pricey when converted to CDN, but seeing as I couldn't get time off for any Euro or east coast shows it balances out. Broken Social Scene are great live. Glad to see them on the bill.
