I've always thought the tickets were reasonably priced but having it in the midwest sucks for me. It's so expensive to fly to the midwest from LA and I don't have juggalo friends to carpool with and shit. That's the stuff that's kept me out every year until this one. That's where it gets expensive. Like, Coachella for me would be cheaper than the gathering but only because I could drive there. I used to go to comic con a while back (before it became impossible) and it was more expensive than the gathering but it was less expensive in terms of travel and shit.

I was on a greyhound last year with some Cali Juggalos that had been riding for like 3 days to get to the gathering.

I'm seriously considering greyhound at this point. It's a lot longer, but it's still really pricey. Tax refund came today so I'm buying something soon.

Camping alone will run you $20 or more per day in a campground. That's $100 including the parking lot party night. Add in one ICP show, one Twiztid show and one Tecn N9ne show at $30 each, and you have your $190 GOTJ ticket. Everything else is just icing. It's a GREAT value for what they charge.

Oh, and those lists of ten thousand things that you can't bring into the grounds of a festival? Fuck that. My last GOTJ will be my last festival ever. I have ZERO interest in going to other festivals with a list of rules a mile long.

At The Gathering you can set your shit up next to any stage of your choosing! Roll outta bed and BAM! yer there!

Also... the people. From what little videos seem to come from people after the other festivals I've been able to see, everyone isn't "there" with everyone else around them in the same way as Juggalos seem to be at The Gathering. Oh sure, there's cool people to be found at any event but mostly they stick to themselves and don't engage nearly the same way. An' that's the power of the "Whoop!". I could go on but ya'll know how *we do!

Some pirates who can afford it will sneak in anyway. I find admission beyond reasonable, but bring your own food & water if you don't wanna pay at least $10 a meal.

And Faygo, if you can. You might even MAKE money lol

I say though get a least 1 chicken on a stick or a corn dog. They were both tasty...or maybe it was just a case of the munchies. Also what's good about legend valley is that there are 2 gas stations within walking distance that have water/snacks if your really trying to be thrifty or if you don't wanna over stock up in advance. Either way though I though the admission is very reasonable.  45 bucks a day plus free camping...awesome deal. Oh and thats right there are actually a lot of artist I wanna see unlike the cochellas or other mainstream festivals which have a lot of this and that.

anybody trying 2 walk in 4 free and sez they can't pay, needs 2 be called out and thrown out! you can't pay? get the fuck out !

Honestly, I feel like Jumpsteady is basically forcing himself to say "if you can't pay, it's cool if you sneak in..."

Ya, during that first Juggalo Show of this year he was basically like, "Shit that's what we would have done". You saw that it was killing him inside though. 

I tell you what, security was pretty good about checking wristbands 24/7 at the entrance to the camping grounds. If you do sneak in, you're best bet is to stay put within the gates.
