Depends on the act or the card really for me. Also, conveniency. If I have to drive 8+ hours out of my way, plus find a place to stay, eat, etc. Probably not up for it unless it's a rare band or act that I know I won't see ever again.

Anything over $500 per head is something I think about now. My wife dropped $400 and some change for me and her to see Billy Strings in St. Augustine, at least that's less than an hour away and it's for three days in April. Which seems like a good deal.

Am I superfan of his? No. Do I like his music? Sure. He's not a bad act at all. So, that made sense. Last year, we did Rockville in Daytona, all three or four days, we stayed in a hotel about 20 minutes away from Daytona Speedway, alcohol is what it is, the food is what it is, we lived off Taco Bell all three nights because it was right down the street from the hotel.

No big deal. That entire package came out to roughly $1900 between the two tickets, the room, the food, the gas and the alcohol. That was worth it to me because it was three or four days of acts that I had been wanting to see forever. The room was nice. The area was nice. Being able to sleep in peace, shower in peace and [BLEEP] comfortably within an upscale bathroom in a hotel room in peace plus get our freak on without having to contest with a camping site, camping location and a crowd was absolutely worth it.

I wouldn't mind camping out for music festivals if it was Suwanee over here out west towards the panhandle. We've done that multiple times for Tipper and Friends and The String Cheese Incident festivals, etc. Those are all well under $600 for plenty of acts, days, nights, etc.

But, yeah, roughly $500 per head is what I keep an eye out for pricing wise. Unless the act is crazy good, the line up is crazy good and the location is within reasonable reach of Jacksonville. [BLEEP] flying. [BLEEP] road trips, etc. LOL.
