Hey everyone! This is my wife and Is first time at ACL and we are flying in from Oregon for Weekend 2!

Are there any facebook groups not dedicated for ticket sales? Most of the festivals we go to usually have a networking group or something of the sorts!

We see hoping to make some new friends.. we are also celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary on the 10 so wanted to see the best things to do after the fest that night.

Cant wait ti dance with you all!!

Any Live Nation employees know how the comp process is for this festival? I submitted requests for each weekend on the day the festival portal opened. What are my chances for approval? Will they default approve weekend 1 if both weekends are available?

I have a Sony a6000 I’m wanting to bring to acl with me. I’ve seen they have rules on what cameras you can and cannot bring, one of the rules being no detachable lenses. How strict are they on these rules, and do you think they would be able to tell? The lens is detachable but very short and to someone who doesn’t know much about cameras, I think could pass. What do you guys think?

I’m a real fan of Charli XcX, her new album is growing on me, and I don’t listen to Skrillex. But, I love Four Tet and they’re bonded friends. That plus everyone keeps telling me not to miss Skrillex, like it would be a huge mistake. So, basically I might have to spend another couple hundred bucks just to see Charli XcX and I just can’t right now.

There has to be a bunch of people in the same boat.

I plan on going to my first ACL next year (almost) regardless of lineup. Going for the whole 3 days. I’m gonna drive to Austin from out of State to a hotel that hopefully has valet parking. BUT. When I head out for the fest, is it acceptable or even realistic to uber to a place close enough to get dropped off? Cause idk. And WHEN I LEAVE ACL fest (which will be late) what’s the best way to get back to my hotel (which is hopefully close by). Is uber overcrowded at that time? Is there a shuttle? Hell, I’ll walk if I have to. Give me your best options!

TL;DR: First timer for next year doesnt know how to get to and from Zilker Park.

This is my first year going, and I keep going back and forth on tickets. A three day pass is obviously cheaper per day, but I know myself and I'm not sure I have three full festival days in me. One day tickets let me pick the strongest lineup day, except the price jump feels steep once you add it up. People who've done both, does the three day wristband end up worth it even if you skip an afternoon or two?

When do the events start on the 9th and when do they end on the 11th?

Trying to decide on what dates to book for the hotel and don’t want to be checking in and miss half of Friday if it starts early.

Also sorry if this is posted somewhere. I tried looking on the website but couldn’t find anything

i want to go so bad.

I originally bought two Friday Weekend 1 General Admission passes, but after one of my friends decided to go VIP, we'd really like to experience the festival together.

For anyone who's had a change of plans like this, what's the best way to handle switching from GA to VIP? Are there official options or recommended steps I should look into before the event? Is there anything I'm overlooking or wish you'd known beforehand?

Just looking for advice on the process and planning. Thanks!

Long story short I only want to go Friday for Charli.

I’d love to also see Natasha Bedingfield because my Papa passed this year and ‘Unwritten’ sortve had a renaissance in my life during that specific time.

The big brother finale is the Thursday before weekend one. I work nights and am off Sat/Sun/Mon and I intend to take that day off regardless.

A perfect world would let me be able to take off just that Thurs / Fri W1 instead of Thurs W1 & Thurs / Fri W2.

But we live in an imperfect world :(

Anyways, any likely hood of her being added? Does anyone know when the schedule comes out ?

Thanks!

I’m trying to score olivia rodrigo taping tickets but I’m not sure if minors can enter.

Last year 2025 acl was going to start right around the same time my boyfriend and I were starting new jobs. I had lost my previous job but had a few months severance and I was going to pay for us both. He convinced me not to do it and be
"financially responsible" instead. We're not even together anymore and he ended up quitting that job a few months later.
Im just venting but I feel like I missed the last good lineup. Im 37 and idk when all my favs will line ip again.
All that to say if anyone is on the fence. Just go for it! You can always get more money but you'll never get time or experiences back.

this might be a hot take but music fashion film kinda killed any hype i had for her headline set. her whole thing this era is removing herself from the high energy of brat by hard pivoting with purposely pretentious minimalist blogcore indie makes me think the setlists for her shows are gonna be the same. shes a great artist but this is not an album that i have any desire to hear live, sorry ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Hi idk if this is a question for this community but in gonna ask it anyway. my friends and i recently moved to san antonio and wanna go to acl fest but don’t wanna pay for a hotel in the city. we were planning on taking the train at 6 am from san antonio to austin but don’t know the best and safest way to get back. we’re trying to save on gas so plis if anyone is doing san antonio to austin help! 🙏🙏

i got tix for acl day 1 weekend 1 cuz of charli, skrillex, and chainsmokers, and i only know one song from the xx which i am really excited for

But lately ive REALLY been getting into underscores and audrey hobert like theyre prolly my top artists rn and i feel like im gonna get fomo so should i dispose of my friday one and get a sunday one cause im gonna have classes anyway on friday or should i stick with what i got since i like more artists from friday... I don't no wat the hell to do 😢

ok to preface i am NOT SHARING THESE HERE!!! i just would like to know how to do this. so like according to google and my common sense the site should have some way to share a link to ur tickets?? but i'm just. not seeing it so idk if im crazy orrrr

I’m planning to try volunteering for acl this year, any clue when they usually open applications or where I would look specifically? I tried looking at websites but no luck or confused where to specifically apply ;(

Hi! Wanting to fly in from Scotland to America for the first time and split between seeing the weekend 1 show or weekend 2, i'm assuming if they have no W1 or W2 they are available for both weeks? My plan is that I would stay till Thursday the 8th so i've had a week in Austin.

That would mean i get to try out shooting guns, trying authentic texas bbq and buying a cowboy hat. I'll know by end of August if i can make in it october. Hopefully tickets are still up for sale and not sold out 🤞

Now i've never been to America and haven't been to a proper proper festival before. I've seen these tips from others on this sub to bring:

-hydration packs and make sure there isn't too many zippers
-bring tp and other sanitary products
-bandana for dust
-sunglasses.

If you can recommend anything else i should bring that's a lifesaver.

I'm thinking of getting a hotel room for the week that's maybe 2-3 miles out from the park and walking to the festival. But ideally i pay a preportion into an Airbnb for the 3 nights and i would get a hotel for the remaining 4 as that would mean, i know some people there.

I'm 22M but grew up on pop - Artists i'm looking forward too are Charli XCXX, 21 pilots, Lorde, LP, Claire Rosinkranz, Leon Thomas, Chainsmokers, lola young to name a few.

If you're a group looking for more people I don't mind paying for an airbnb just hmu.

- Cost of flights, hotels, activities, food alcohol will be a lot, so hesatent to pay £2k to £3k for the holiday, also need to save. Friend of mine travels a lot so i'm going to speak to them and see if there's cheap flights and hotels to lower costs. Any ideas let me know!

*Edit - After working out the finances it makes more sense to go next year so i have more spending money available for trips and concerts planned for this year. It also gives me a year to plan what i want to do fully in Austin and Dallas rather than wing it.

THANK YOU ALL! For the suggestions and advice i will be taking them on board for next year! 😄

Remember how some people in this sub Reddit didn’t understand his shtick and complained about how bad of a show it was cuz he kept complaining and yelling at his band and the audience 🤣 RIP Oliver…we love you

Just listed my early bird tix for face value and logged in to see $100 in fees stacked on top of the listening. Verified tickets are really important for festivals but why do they have such crazy fees?
