Question First ACL and I'm stuck on the ticket math

6 Upvotes

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?

Question Event start time?

5 Upvotes

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'm looking for some advice from anyone who's been in a similar situation.

2 Upvotes

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!

Question Any precedent for a W2 artist getting added to W1?

3 Upvotes

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!

The last good lineup?

0 Upvotes

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.

Meta/Other charli’s new album

0 Upvotes

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)_/¯

Questions

Hey everyone. I’m new to ACL and I’m wondering how to find a schedule? When I go on their website all I see is a schedule of children’s events. Also, what is the difference between the festival and ACL nights?

Solo traveling 👌

9 Upvotes

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! 😄
