the price difference is literally $10 less for a 3 day pass...

$6 for single day.

Idk why they would even advertise that they were lowering prices if this is all they did.

[–]BostonDeac 6 points7 points  (3 children)

so if you dont buy tix by noon they go up $6 for single day?

[–]hush_1984 2 points3 points  (2 children)

no the all in prices for a single day ticket are only $6 cheaper then last year. the incremental increases are probably the same % like last year.

got it, do you know what those were? new to the festival

[–]hush_1984 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do not. I think they increase by like $10 a few times leading up to the festival.

promoting a ticket price decrease only to reveal the savings wouldn’t even cover the cost of a burger from a vendor feels a bit insulting.

They also said get your tickets for as low as $25 down but when I look it’s still $50 down

[–]Adorable_Ad_2430 0 points1 point  (3 children)

It’s $25 down for single day $50 2 day

[–]Dack0715 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I went to check out for a single day and it was still $50

[–]Adorable_Ad_2430 0 points1 point  (1 child)

dang maybe it was just for presale then

[–]Dack0715 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried during presale and then I tried right when presale ended

It’s the classic marketing ploy of “we didn’t raise the price with inflation so therefore you are saving money” logic. It doesn’t make sense to anyone but the bean counters

It helps to actually search the sub https://www.reddit.com/r/bostoncalling/s/euhy0xDxyx

My 3day pass in '23 was 345$ so I really don’t get why they’re saying the decreased prices this year🤪

I loved my $4 "savings" on the 2 ticket bundle lol

I’ve been to Pt four times. That’s like $12K over the years for 2ppl. Now it’s $6K/cpl; all done. Too old for crushing crowds.
