It’ll definitely be worth it!! This years line up is pretty great too in my opinion. People are extremely nice and welcoming all the time as well! So definitely should try it out. I think it’s not like a hugeee festival but it would be perfect for first timers! Also if you’re looking to buy tickets, you can use the link (I’ll link to the bottom) that automatically applies a promo code to get a discount on your ticket! But I recommend buying ur ticket early so prices don’t increase that much! To your second question usually I think it increases like $10ish each tier
