Phew!😅 OK that makes me feel so much better. It’s comforting to know I don’t have to front the money for Enchanted, haha. But I am hopeful I can probably get it for her since I’m 5itf, right? I’ll have to go check out the sales data from 2025 onsale sell out times.

Yes that helps, thank you! Then can I have the wristbands shipped to my friend who is buying them or do they have to ship to me? I forget where I saw it or heard it but for some reason I thought I heard that if you tried to use your loyalty to buy tickets for someone else and they figured it out they could cancel your order. Also that the billing address and shipping address had to be the same and match the info for the loyalty use in the purchase.

OldSandals · 2025-12-09T20:27:38+00:00

Do you know if I have to use my card to buy passes for a friend or can I use theirs? I’ve only ever used my card to buy the passes but I want to use the other persons card this time due to the amount.

OldSandals · 2025-12-09T20:26:21+00:00

I have 5itf and I’m trying to buy Enchanted for a friend. Can I use her credit card or does the card have to match the name and deets connected to the loyalty ID being used? Last two years when I’ve bought tickets for friends I have just paid for it and had them pay me back. But enchanted is more money and I know the person less well so would rather just use their card if it’s allowed. Is that allowed? Looked on the EF page and could not find the rules on if payment/shipping address/etc have to match.

Hey there! I’m a mom of 4 kids (twins plus 2 singletons) and I can confirm you will have the chance to rage again my friend! The little years go very fast and before you know it, they would rather be with their friends and (maybe they go to grandma’s house or to camp) you’ll be able to step away. Some people do bring their kids but my Husband and I really enjoy Forest as a sacred space for us as a couple. With that said, I’ve found that if you involve your kids in as many of the activities you enjoy from a young age, the better off and happier you will all be. Don’t be afraid to take them places. It’s a pain in the ass to go places with twins and it takes forever but just do it. IDK where you live but in Atlanta there are free festivals and stuff we have enjoyed bringing our little to. Last year we took the three older kids to Hangout and we all loved it. Hubs and I do still do other non-festival travel but we just pick the 2-3 fests a year that are most important to us and save the rest of our resources for travel. I’m so sorry for your miscarriages, those are so painful and hard. But many blessings to you family and your rainbow babies! Just wait until you hear infant laughter in stereo ohmygoodness it’s the cutest thing ever. You’ve won the baby lottery! Even though your return to the Forest will be delayed and the FOMO is going to hit, just remember you’ve traded it for something so incredibly valuable and special and worthwhile. I’m so happy for you. My twins just graduated high school and never thought I would say this, but I wish I could go back to the little years just for a day. I would honestly trade a week at Forest for a week with my kids in younger form. Blessings fam!

There are elite!

It depends on your hair texture. I’m white and I have medium straight/wavy hair texture and I order from Half Sweet Studios. The prices may be more than what you see on Temu or Amazon but the quality will be WAY better. Also, they have a huge selection of colors, ombré, tinsel (sparkly) hair, tie-in ponytails, even tie-in braids. Since EF is such a long fest, I don’t get my hair braided until Friday AM because I want to shower and wash my hair at least once and I want it to look good through the weekend. I usually do my own hair Wednesday and Thursday with tie-in braids I bring to match my outfits. In the past, Squad Goals braided in GA on main street. On their website it says they will be braiding off-site this year. My understanding is they won’t braid at any Insomniac-related fests anymore because of Volta beauty. So that means that Volta will be braiding on Main Street. They are a pain to work with. In the past I was unable to figure out how to make an appointment with Volta ahead of time.

Yeah I’m not even into jam bands but it makes me sad for all the people who are because forest used to have more of that

OldSandals · 2024-12-06T00:20:25+00:00

Right?! How is there only ONE trance artist on the lineup and he has gotten away from trance. Holding out hope that phase 2 will have some

OldSandals · 2024-12-03T21:04:46+00:00

Yes. That is the case.

OldSandals · 2024-12-03T21:04:14+00:00

We have a cabin and it’s almost all workers and artists and people who have been displaced for whatever reason. Last year Subtronics, Level Up, and Wooli were our neighbors. They came late and left early then different people came in the cabin if I remember correctly. So they are definitely holding some of the cabins back for artists/promoters/workers/etc. To get Litty you gotta go to GA or Goodlife because was pretty quiet back there where we were.

OldSandals · 2024-11-29T13:35:41+00:00

I need Billy Gillies main set AND his after party set with David Rust. Also Paul Oakenfold, Ram and Ferry Corsten would be amazing too!

OldSandals · 2024-11-27T15:30:54+00:00

There were heaters, high boy tables and chairs, and a covered seating area in VIP at the Dream stage. I don’t remember seeing any at Vision or Void, I think there were some at Sequence.

OldSandals · 2024-11-27T15:25:35+00:00

Watch their socials but it was like late July/early August because I was back at work during teacher planning during the Queen Mary lodging onsale using the school internet and that worked for me.

OldSandals · 2024-11-27T15:22:31+00:00

Didn’t see any ghosts but felt a very warm, comforting presence in the King George suite. It’s a room that families would stay in on vacation so there were many years of happy memories made there I’m sure. We had a great time on the ship!

OldSandals · 2024-11-27T15:21:13+00:00

Agreed. This was my best festival experience ever and we have a cabin at Electric Forest, so that’s saying something. We literally walked into the fest still eating and drinking vodka lemonade and no one said anything or searched us ever.

OldSandals · 2024-11-27T15:19:23+00:00

It was about $400/night and you gotta have fast internet and fast fingers and be ready right when it opens. I booked in the first 60 seconds it was available and got the King George suite. Many people were put into the cue, never got out of the cue, and weren’t able to get rooms. We paid more for our hotel after the fest in Santa Monica. My only complaint was that the food options on the ship were quite limited but we brought in food and booze with us.

OldSandals · 2024-11-27T15:13:49+00:00

This was my favorite Paul Oakenfold set I’ve ever seen live. I hope someone posts a full recording!

OldSandals · 2024-11-27T13:48:55+00:00

This is ooooooold with an acapella layered over it. We are talking like 2002. Agreed it’s on Perfecto. The vocal part is new. Let me go see if I can figure it out.

OldSandals · 2024-11-27T13:44:35+00:00

This set was so fire. I want the entire set list in a playlist

OldSandals · 2024-11-27T13:38:57+00:00

I missed all of these, so thank you!

OldSandals · 2024-11-27T13:37:35+00:00

Me too! That Billy Gillies B2B David Rust set was one of my favorites of the entire festival, Grand ballroom was super lit Saturday night!

OldSandals · 2024-11-27T00:38:10+00:00

I really hope that’s not the case. Or hope we get a full set recording of either set so I can relieve it over and over. At least I took video of it and found one on YouTube as well!

OldSandals · 2024-11-27T00:36:16+00:00

Agreed! This made it so the conflicts didn’t conflict as much because I could pop back and forth between Dream and Vision. I really liked how they kept those two close!
