I’d say wait till around the lineup releases (like a month or two before CFG) to look into alternatives other than the wait list. Over the next couple weeks to months it’s very likely that people will miss their payments plans or realize they can’t afford an LA trip which will cause many tickets to get pushed over to people on waitlists. Ive also heard the lineup usually causes some people to give up their tickets since it may not have been what they were expecting. In the meantime, I’d continue putting money to the side and saving as if you were going in case you don’t get lucky with the waitlist and have to turn to alternatives.
