Hey! Thanks for watching, Erik! Going to to EDC for the first time as VIP!? NICE! You're definitely taking it to the next level right away ☺️. The festival can be a sensory overload, but it's a lotta fun once that settles.
Yes, definitely comes in handy. When I messaged other Verizon users, it was pretty fast. But for my other friends, i received them over an hour after they sent a message
Oh my gosh, yes! I might set an alarm so that I have enough time to walk to the top of the bleachers. After 10 years, I’ve still never watched from the very top 😅.
Oh yes! Get there early for opening ceremonies to avoid peak traffic, when driving toward the speedway on Las Vegas Blvd, stay to the far right lane to skip all the traffic. Then, when you get close to your gate to park, switch to your left, you’ll save a lot of time. Do not use the shoulder lane though, there’s a lot of police. Finally, I recommend heading to the speedway on a full tank and leaving before 4am to avoid the gnarly traffic of the festival ending.
@@sonyabrown3488 In 2022, we arrived to the speedway at approximately 6:00 pm and we were able to park (free) in the Brown Lot by entering Gate 3. My guess is, if you arrive later than that, you will still be able to park, it just may be a 5-15 minute walk to the festival entrance. I would recommend taking Las Vegas Blvd instead of the I-15 😁.
@@ravetourguide Get packing NOW!! I started over the weekend, and I'm so glad I did because I am not done yet. The rest of life leading up to Thursday when I head out is as busy as ever. I'm stressin' lmfao
Thank you for the first timer tips, although you did forget to tell us how much the tickets are, I’m sure they’re pretty expensive, but probably not too expensive, I mean, at least for the moment I’m too broke to go. Then again, there’s always TH-cam to experience to experience, but what good is it through a screen when you can see it live. Hopefully one year I’ll be able to afford to go, I’ve been to Vegas before, so I will kind of know what to expect, although it’s been a hot minute. I don’t live in Vegas nor Nevada, but hopefully one day I’ll go back and hopefully I’ll have enough to go to EDC depending on which when it happens. When does EDC normally happen? Is it mostly in the summer or fall? Or does it vary by yr ?
EDC happens in May, usually around the 3rd weekend of the month. I believe GA tickets this year started around $500 and VIP started around $900. I always did the payment plan since it would spread the payments over the year instead of all upfront -- that's a big chunk of change! Also, thank fully, the festival will always be there, so if not soon, definitely in the future I hope you can go too.
Nice! And that makes sense. We always felt the same way and still do honestly! My best years at EDC were when my wife and I were still dating. We were a tad reckless, but it was a lot of fun 😂😎.
13 years experience. Get there early and leave early. You will last all three days and avoid the worst traffic ever. Thank me later. Also bring pants with zippers.
If you joined the waitlist on the official edclasvegas.frontgatetickets.com website, that should be a safe option. One tip is to purchase from a trusted friend, maybe someone in your rave fam who is selling one. Hope you get a pass!
According to the edc headliner handbook that comes in the ticket box, “non professional flash/still cameras, handheld video devices under 6 inches.” Also, I looked up your camera and I have seen other headliners on TH-cam use similar cameras at EDC.
Well, the festival guidelines don't explicitly prohibit or allow fidget toys. However, I have seen people with spinners, pop-its, and other small toys like finger puppets. As long as it doesn't look like a weapon or something dangerous, it should not be an issue.
For anybody seeing my comment my best tip is to bring a mini tsa lock and lock ur zippers on ur hydro backpack it leaves me feeling so secured all night long 😭🤞❤️🩹
@@ravetourguide That method keeps my belongings safe! But I want to go this year again but I’m hesitant bc of the large crowd but I go to tons of festivals it just can be overwhelming sometimes I’ve always gotten the eebie jeebies before walking into festivals but then it was all built in my head lol but I’m like 75% sure I want too 🥺
@@CrossFilmz oh I feel you there. It’s part of the reason I’m not eager to get to the very front/middle of a crowd 😅. GA+ tickets are still available too.
@@ravetourguide thinking bout coming to edc for the first time , my sister and her friends have gone since they were 18 , I’m older ( 38 and have never been to EDC )
TIP for your first time take care of ur phone, and back up everything before you go. trust me! pit pockets are so fucking common and they work together to steal so many phones.
Great tip! A short search on r/edclasvegas and you'll find a lot of threads about this issue. I just saw a clip from Beyond where a bag was found with a bunch of phones😣.
My first was 2022! Here my tips. FOR THE LOVE OF HUMANITY bring chapstick the air is full of dust and salt my lips got SOOO bad. And please please have some anti theft bag for your stuff my phone got stolen and it was a horrible to get home and communicate.
Both of those great tips! Chapstick is number one item that my wife will always be sure to bring in and have at the ready at all times 😅😅. And sorry to hear about your phone, I know the feeling of not being able to get home and communicate 😖.
@@ravetourguide I did the pods last year it was def worth it because camp EDC is amazing pool party during the day plus with the camping you can go in and out of EDC if you want to take a break or get some quite time inbetween sets but definitely pricey but worth it
It will be my first time going in 2024 and I got VIP! I’m so excited but so nervous because idk what to expect. Thanks for the video, super helpful!

Found this really helpful for next year. 1st time will be next year, 1st time going to Vegas from Australia . Keep up the content mate😊
Thanks for watching, WhereisWill! This year, I met at least 4 subscribers at EDC who were from Australia 🇦🇺 😁. Hope to see you there in 2024!
first time EDC 2022. WHAT.AN.AWESOME....TIME!!!!!!!. don't forget to ride all the theme rides. wow what a great time
Yes! The rides are a lot of fun. Especially the ones that take you high up so you can see the festival grounds🤓.
Wow, I would have never thought of time stamping messages! that's smart
Yes, definitely comes in handy. When I messaged other Verizon users, it was pretty fast. But for my other friends, i received them over an hour after they sent a message
Love it! I can’t wait! Adding Tylenol and ear plugs to my list 😁
Yes! The earplugs for sure. I think VIP sometimes even offers Tylenol for free along with feminine products and hair ties😊.
Woops, I commented from my other page 😆.
@@ravetourguide what about first timers for beyond wonderland ( I’m attending my first one in March of 2023 )
Don’t roll so hard that you forget about the firework!
Oh my gosh, yes! I might set an alarm so that I have enough time to walk to the top of the bleachers. After 10 years, I’ve still never watched from the very top 😅.
First time this year! So excited, any tips on parking if driving your own car?
Oh yes! Get there early for opening ceremonies to avoid peak traffic, when driving toward the speedway on Las Vegas Blvd, stay to the far right lane to skip all the traffic.

@@ravetourguide how early should I arrive on day 1 if I have am trying to get into the free parking lot.

@Sonya Brown take the shuttle it's way better trust me
We are just ubering there to avoid parkin n car accident risks
This will be my first time attending EDC, it feels like these final two weeks are just DRAGGING by😩
Well guess what bro, now we’re 3 days out. Time will fly as you’re getting things ready. First timer here too. Gonna be so fun!
Today is definitely going by a little slow 😅. Couple more days of work and we out here!!
And, Ricardo, thanks for watching! I think tomorrow will definitely fly by! I might start packing tonight to be safe 😁

Do you know what the song being played in your "Timestamp Text Messages" section was? Thank you!
Possibly 9pm (till I come) - ATB
Hey they don't take cash inside! but its always good to have a bit have cash on you for safety after.
Paying with a card is an easy way to track expenses during the weekend, too 😅. We bring cash for drink tips 🍺!
This is my first time going to EDC with my boyfriend, super stoked but super nervous at the same time.
Nice! And that makes sense. We always felt the same way and still do honestly! My best years at EDC were when my wife and I were still dating. We were a tad reckless, but it was a lot of fun 😂😎.

Joined the waitlist for premier parking but tips on how safely buy one from a seller if available?
If you joined the waitlist on the official edclasvegas.frontgatetickets.com website, that should be a safe option. One tip is to purchase from a trusted friend, maybe someone in your rave fam who is selling one. Hope you get a pass!
Question can I bring my canon gx7 mark 2 with a small pod grip?
According to the edc headliner handbook that comes in the ticket box, “non professional flash/still cameras, handheld video devices under 6 inches.”
Also, I looked up your camera and I have seen other headliners on TH-cam use similar cameras at EDC.
Did you go VIP or GA?
In 2022 and 2023, we did VIP. How about you??
@@ravetourguide going for the first time next year. Deciding whether if VIP is worth it or not
Always remember Ground Control are there for you! Look for the purple shirt and they will help with whatever you need 🥰
Yes! They’re great. What a cool way to contribute to the event 😁. Any other tips?? Maybe your favorite rave shops?
Can I take a couple of fidget toys inside?
Well, the festival guidelines don't explicitly prohibit or allow fidget toys. However, I have seen people with spinners, pop-its, and other small toys like finger puppets. As long as it doesn't look like a weapon or something dangerous, it should not be an issue.

Another tip…just camp there onsite with 50k other people, it’s awesome
Definitely worth a try 👍.
Camping was the BEST
@@Thedumb_artist it certainly looks like a good time! Did you camp or Rv?
@@ravetourguide I did the pods last year it was def worth it because camp EDC is amazing pool party during the day plus with the camping you can go in and out of EDC if you want to take a break or get some quite time inbetween sets but definitely pricey but worth it
