My goal for this Fest is to have more than $100 once everything is paid for. There were too many things I wanted to have, whether it was records or shirts or infinite Boca Fiesta tacos.

How much do you guys usually bring?

Between t-shirts and albums I spend about $150. Then you need money for food/beer. My goal is to save $400 for everything together. I doubt I will use that much though.

Since I barely spent any money the last 2 years(due to being poor...now I'm a rich SOB...ok not quite), I plan on going out pretty hard this year. Between beer/food/merch I am planning on like 500 bucks. I am going to be pretty god damn drunk this year.

I live in Gainesville but I'm still starting a separate fund now so I can constantly be providing pizza / burritos / drinks for anyone I meet who doesn't have one of those in their hand

I spent around $200 on merch/food/beer last year. however, I hardley ate anything and I didnt buy half the merch I wanted to because of worrying about running short of cash so this year I'm gong to try bring more

i have literally no idea how much i spend at Fest.

the difference in currency and the fact that the biggest expenses (flights and accomodation) are already taken care of by the time i hit Gainesville means i've pretty much lost track of, or dont want to think about how much i'm spending.

my estimate is vague. i spend 'lots'.


cool thing about Fest being announced early though is i can also save 'lots'.

sweet.

Save us much as you think you'll need, then save a little more than that.

When given the choice of buying merch or drinks, buy merch.

Also last year I bought about 15 records and i think 3 shirts. Plus all the food/drinks/cigarettes that weekend I'd say I spent about $250. Now I have a higher paying job, so I'm thinking I might spend a lot more this year haha

I've spent between $500-$600 at every Fest between food, beer and (mostly) merch

I guess around 300$ - 400$ for the weekend, but really depends on the merch... I guess 15$ on food, 30-40$ on beers at the venues per day... some smoked, a crate of beer for the house shows... and I definitly need to buy a no idea coffee mug again - as the last one didn't make the fucking flight...
