Hi all, I found out I'm not going to be able to go and my wristband is on layaway ready to charge payment number 2. Just wondering, other than paying it off and listing it, do I have any other options?

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!

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?

Looking at Airbnb’s, more than likely looking at trying to drive my own vehicle instead of ubering everywhere, and was wondering what insight you guys may have. I’m used to ubering everywhere every year so I really don’t know my way around

Hey friends it’s me again, I made a post about how we’re looking for more girls in the group, but at the moment we’re really just looking for more people.

We have a current group of 10 people, we’re trying to get 16 people in total so that we can upgrade the Airbnb for cheaper and have a better time. (I might try to just do it out of my paycheck though depending how many we have.) all prices are subject to change based on how many people join, so consider it an estimate.

New prices with 10 people confirmed

Airbnb:
$40 within the next 2 weeks
$100 by September

Rental car:
$90

Plane tickets, festival tickets, food and extra money is for you to decide. We are weekend 1 and we’re gonna be doing things like making totems, making candy, baking, swimming and just exploring. The age group ranges between 19 and 30. My DMs are open let me know if you’d like to join us!

Any don west fans out there? Looking to watch him with another cool buddy

I’m trying to track down lanyard cards from these years. I’ve setup notifications for eBay, but does anyone know another online store?

You guys think we’ll get Don next year?

What’s up, I’m gonna go Sunday and I am pretty much going just to see Twenty One Pilots and Saint Motel but who else must I see on Sunday or I’ll be a dumbass idiot loser if I don’t?

Edit: So far it looks like The War on Drugs is winning.

Holy shit. I can’t believe I said that.

Hey everyone! We’re headed back to ACL week 1 after SEVERAL years away and my husband’s birthday is Oct. 6th. I’d love to plan some kind of birthday surprise for him during ACL since we won’t have much time before or after the fest to do much. Does anyone have any fun suggestions?We splurged on VIP tix so a surprise upgrade won’t be necessary.

TYIA

Just sharing an observation. I try to keep up with any lineup changes on the official lineup poster on the ACL website, especially for smaller artists, as ACL doesn't usually announce their removal.

It appears that Kingfishr (a weekend 2 band) has been removed. Previously were on the lineup on Friday, fourth line, but I don't see them on the lineup at all anymore. (And a related change, CMAT moved from the first name listed on the fifth line on Friday to the last name listed on the fourth line.)

I’m going to my first ACL this year and I’m so excited. It’s my first festival ever and I’m doing a lot of research. I have some questions.. -Can I put a lot of my belongings into my boots and pockets and bring a clear tote bag folded up also in my boot or pocket to skip the bag line then empty everything into my clear tote bag? -Are hydration backpacks worth it? Do I have to get into bag line for a hydration backpack? (Sorry if that’s a dumb question) -What are things I NEED to know?

When does the application open to volunteer?

In years past I’ve gone through the GivePulse volunteer portal and gone to the “ACL Volunteer” group.

Anyone know where I can find the application?

I’ve searched GivePulse, Austin Parks & ACL’s volunteer page.

Thanks!

Is there anyway I can return and get refunded for a wristband? I have the layaway plan and found out I can’t go now so I wanted to just get refunded 😭

So this is going to be my first ACL fest ever after the 3 years that I've lived in Austin. I'm really excited because I haven't been to a music fest since Bonaroo in 2018. For anyone who has attended ACL before, when do they release the schedule with the times. I imagine the closer it gets to September they'll start releasing the times when they start shipping the wristbands. BTW I'm going Wk1. I'm curious because I usually work Fridays and Saturdays and I'm not sure if i should request those days off or leave early so I can pick and choose which artists I'd like to see. Thanks!

I’m f19, going with a group of currently about 7 people all 19-23. Currently it’s me and one more girl and the rest are guys. I’m comfortable with all the guys who are going, but I would prefer if we had some more female company around too. We like making candy, trading clips, making bead art and really anything that has to do with creativity. We’re going all 3 days of the festival and getting an Airbnb near there. We’re splitting the price between everyone, currently this is what we’ve got.
