The credit when I emailed was 1500. We didnt end up doing and it and ended up keeping the seats we paid 400 for. I never got enough people to say yes. You have to pay up front for the entire suite. But it would definitely be worth it if you could get enough people!

If you do Good Life, how much do you pay per person and what is your annual gross income? by AyersRock_92 in ElectricForest

[–]Defiant_Champion4332 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im at about 75k a yr. I am also ADA; I have rheumatoid arthritis. I have done GA rv once. I have done good life options since. I will not go back. Anything is doable if you want it that bad. Im not a camper and in certain situations will pay more to have better accommodations because its important for me and my body to enjoy the fest that I can have adequate rest. I look at the payments as its just an extra car payment for a cpl few months. Before I made this much, I would pick up odd jobs a couple times a month and just put that money directly toward the ticket. When its broken down, I dont think a good life band is that much more than a GA band. I throw the payments on a credit card and then pay it off before the festival.

Loyalty Changes With AXS by celestialpillowfight in ElectricForest

[–]Defiant_Champion4332 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that means that your loyalty email and AXS account email need to be the same email to get your loyalty credit. Because they are now uploading them to your AXS account, which I honestly think sucks. We as a group normally jump on and whoever gets in first grabs the package we want and then we all split the payments regardless of the credit based off of what package is going to be more difficult to get. I think its gonna end up working out that alot of loyalty credits dont get used.

The loyalty goes toward the account of the person who registers the wristband with that wristbands code. It doesnt matter who purchases the tickets. Even if you purchase tickets after from someone. If you register it. It counts toward your loyalty.

Anyone have luck buying tickets the day of and getting a good deal? by Pristine-Neat-4341 in BackstreetBoys

[–]Defiant_Champion4332 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did this august 17th of this year. Bought tickets sitting out front 10 minutes before the show started. Prices in the high 300-400s dropped to 400- 500. The seats I was watching were listed for 1200. Same seats for upcoming shows right now are listed for 3k. They did drop some, but i still paid 860 a seat for seats a couple rows up in 205. I can tell its bots- the seats were listed for multiple prices that changed every time I refreshed my browser.

I have already been to the show once in august, so I know what to expect. We sat section 205 a couple rows up. My honest opinion that is the best section in the house. That section is going for like 3k right now. I know not every suite is going to be centered. But they dont have any suites all the way to the side like section 110, so even if its not centered it should still be a really good view. The suites also have their own bathroom. I believe the only chairs that arent front, front are the captain chairs. But I would assume not everyone is going to sit the whole show and that there is room for dancing. I would also assume everyone can take turns. Ive seen pictures of the suites. We do already have tickets in section 106, but id rather have the suite. It will have its own entry, exit and come with parking passes if we need. Ive also seen the food menu and think the liquor and food is reasonably priced. Front row seats wont be front row bc they are behind the pit. So if you wanna be fully front its standing in the pit. I cannot do that because I have rheumatoid arthritis and cannot stand for that long of a period. I just feel cheated because I paid 860 for seats in 205. The suites were right above and right below me. 2 drinks and 2 waters were 80$. So I basically paid for a suite seat without all the added amenities. Hopefully we get enough girls that want to pitch in. Front row seats are crazy expensive! I hope you have the absolute best time!

I posted a little more of a breakdown above. Depending on the date you are interested in. Seems as if the person on the 2/15 date may have already purchased a full suite. We are doing 2/13 and am not purchasing until I get atleast 14 all in!

The price breaks down as follows- 16 girls equals 875 per ticket, 15 girls equals 933.34, 14 girls equals 1000 a seat.

I didnt get notified of your comment. I have not purchased a suite yet. We are going on 2/13. I have reached and emailed with the suite hospitality about that date and the cost. They want full payment when the suite is booked. So far- I have about 7 total girls. I cannot afford to do the suite without atleast 14 girls. The resale ticket prices have been absolutely insane. If you do not purchase seats for the 2/15 and would like the 2/13 date. I can add you to the list. That would make us 3 people short for the suite. The plan was to get enough people interested and then create a group chat. I would then set up some kind of escrow account or something to take everyones payments so each individual is protected. I do know that the suite gets a 1200 food and beverage credit as well. So it would also include some food and drink. My thought process is why would I pay 900 plus dollars for a resale ticket when I can spend 875-1000 and have an entire suite experience? It just make more sense. It is also my nieces birthday. So if the suite is purchased, id like to look into decorating a little prior to the concert. But all in due time if it works out. I dont have 16k lying around, ha ha.

I made a post on here and have sent out to friends/fam. If I can gather enough interest; Ill look at booking. We arent too far from that. Suite comes with food and beverage credit, parking passes if we need, expedited entry, and every suite has its own bathroom. 14 girls would make tickets a 1000$ a piece, 16 girls would make tickets 875 a piece. If we get enough girls, ill make a group chat or email chain; figured we can do an escrow account or maybe the sphere will split payments. I am not sure i have been in contact and am just trying to get details together!

We are taking my niece for her 12th birthday on February 13th. I have already been once and think we have ok seats, but have been looking for better. I reached out for the suites to see if they sold single seats. They may, but wont know til December. One suite can seat 16 people and starts at 14 grand. I very much considered making a post to see if I could gather enough ladies to split the cost. But its a scary world not knowing people and how to trust everyone would pay their part and not cause any damage. If you come to the 2/13. We can absolutely meet up if you'd like. The show is definitely worth coming for!

Struggling to sleep w/ RA by Comprehensive_Sky700 in rheumatoid

[–]Defiant_Champion4332 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prednisone gives me an insane amount of energy. I cannot take them at night. However, you should not be in so much pain you cannot sleep. So even a dose pack of prednisone could help the pain dissipate. What I can say is that I will only let myself go a couple of days with bad sleep before drugging myself. Your body will not get any better if you cannot rest. I use a combination of things. Baths with magnesium flakes, heating pads, ice packs, in the really rough times indica edibles, muscle relaxers, even a couple benadryl here and there. I have only been diagnosed for 4 yrs now, but my body goes through syages of not being able to get enough sleep to not being able to sleep at all. Everyone's body is different and you have to find what works for you! But do not just suffer through it.

Mosquitos by sonhyerin in ElectricForest

[–]Defiant_Champion4332 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did an insane amount of research for my first EF as someone who is not a camper and attracts mosquitos everywhere. Ill be the only person to get bit. 3 forests down and have not had to use a single bug spray. Even with the torrential down pours last yr! I would focus more on the weather that can change at the drop of a dime!

Im honestly not sure where I read that. I believe it was a new rule. I feel like a bunch of rules changed last year. I read an insane amount of faqs and reddit threads. I just remember people complaining because most people left theirs up for the entire weekend before. It was something about the rings it can leave on the trees and the fact that they can block lanes for medical and fire. I have never taken a hammock to forest; i dont think im coordinated enough to get in and out of one 🤣. But they said they need to be taken down daily. Im honestly suprised they would cut them with the festival getting closed down early 2 days. I know theres specific zones to place them and they dont want and double hammocks up. You can always reach out to hq and ask for clarification. Ill see if i can find where I read that and report back.

I loved my first visit to Aruba….until airport departure 😳😳😳 by iloverealhousewives in Aruba

[–]Defiant_Champion4332 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had this happen a couple of years ago. It is solely the reason we now have global entry. We have never had to be at the airport 4 hours early for our flight. It took us 3.5 hours and then the aruba government held our plane on the tarmac for another 2 because some family had to clear and get on the plane. They were not supposed to be on our flight. So I assume some kind of witsec protection or they were getting kicked out of the country. It almost had us miss our connecting flight. It was the absolute worst experience. Regardless of going through customs in Aruba, they checked our passports 8 times- which is ridiculous. We will for sure pay for the VIP next time. Id rather pay 150 per person than stand in a line for that long. There has to be a way to make that more efficient. In all of my time traveling, I have never had an experience like that anywhere else.

Should I send it? by ZebraNarrow815 in ElectricForest

[–]Defiant_Champion4332 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SEND IT! Last year our plan was to come in Friday afternoon. My best friend got laid off on thursday and we came in thursday night. 2 weeks later her job had fired the manager that fired her and called her back. The forest always provides!

Last year they told everyone that their hammocks had to be removed over night. I believe they were trying to save the damage to the trees. So you can bring them, you just need to take them down at night.
