3 reasons to buy VIP and stand in GA

Sound is aimed at the dancefloor

Everything is pointed at the crowd, because that is what the system is set up to cover. Treble is directional, so the further to the side you stand the duller it gets, and with subs stacked left and right the clean bass runs in a strip down the middle. Viewing areas sit off to the side of it.

You feel more of it in the crowd

A full dancefloor is hundreds of people locked onto the same record, and standing in it is not the same as watching it. Doing the same thing at the same moment as the person beside you makes the experience stronger, with nobody saying a word.

You are buying time, not status

What the pass really removes is queueing. Festival VIP tickets are sold on the same two things: express entry and private restrooms. Queueing researchers modelling a standard venue put women's restroom waits at over six minutes a visit. Every minute you are not in a line is a minute back on the dancefloor.
