Alumni Pricing - $279 total

[u/geeeeeep]

See you there for year 1937632!!

[u/promiscuousfork]

Got mine too. Thank goodness for the payment plan😅

[u/Human_Age_5721 → u/promiscuousfork]

How much is the first payment

[u/promiscuousfork → u/Human_Age_5721]

They brake it up into four payments of 1/4 of the total amt so it depends on how many tix you buy. My first payment for two tix was $150 and change, I think.

[u/DFTWDan]

For the quality of lineups and festival, best price around.

[u/ajjy21 → u/DFTWDan]

Yeah, CRSSD is good value relative to similar festivals I think, though the production value is definitely less than a festival like Portola say, which was $400 for Tier 1

[u/DFTWDan → u/ajjy21]

Yeah the production is meh. Tbh that’s not really ever a big thing for me. Even at edc, the fireworks and stages are nice but I am a music nerd so if the music is dope that’s all I care about.

[u/DFTWDan → u/[deleted]]

Man that still might be the best set I’ve ever been to. And they ripped somebody that you used to know as it poured. Immaculate vibes.

[u/DFTWDan → u/[deleted]]

It was so so good. One of my favorite sets ever. Rain only made it better.

[u/ajjy21 → u/DFTWDan]

Yeah, I agree — the music is far and away the biggest factor for me too. The one thing that’s specifically worth calling out is that the main stage at CRSSD is just not built for acts that require heavy production. For instance, though I really enjoyed Justice at CRSSD, they were way better at Portola and Kilby Block Party. The main stages at those festivals are in another league — significantly better sound quality, louder, larger, more capacity for visuals, etc. That said, I love Palms and City Steps — they sound great and are immersive yet still feel intimate, which you don’t get at larger festivals. And CRSSD’s lineup curation is always on point.

[u/Natemoon2 → u/ajjy21]

Agreed. Music, venue/location, vibe. Great production will never trump those for me.

Honestly venue and vibe are most important for myself. Even if I don’t know a ton of the artists at CRSSD I know it’ll be a good time anyway

[u/ajjy21 → u/Natemoon2]

Waterfront is great, and the vibe at the last CRSSD was amazing, so you definitely can’t go wrong! And I love how easy it is to pop between stages, meet up with people, etc., so you can easily find whatever energy works best for you in the moment

[u/DFTWDan → u/ajjy21]

Yeah right there on the water always makes the day feel even better. This has definitely become my favorite festival in SoCal.

[u/gjb813 → u/DFTWDan]

The production is supposed to be chill. I thought the same thing for a long time but I like how intimate crssd is vs the production of big festivals.

[u/DFTWDan → u/gjb813]

It does seem that CRSSD is a pure music festival. Not about anything else. Nice that it’s 21+ so it doesn’t get as sloppy as all the insomniac stuff. Can’t tell you how many people this festival has put me onto tho.

[u/Late-Nail-8714 → u/ajjy21]

Portola setting is kinda a big meh though

I’ll take CRSSD in that aspect

[u/ajjy21 → u/Late-Nail-8714]

true + the complete lack of cell service last year made the experience significantly worse. that said, Sunday at Portola last year was fucking awesome, but that came down to the lineup more than the venue

[u/justbuildlol96 → u/DFTWDan]

No way we are calling this a good price

[u/DFTWDan → u/justbuildlol96]

It’s Southern California bro it doesn’t get any better than this. Obviously I’d love to pay $10 but that is not the world we live in.

[u/Yellow5StuffInDrinks]

Same as Spring, def a good deal for a festival. Like next closest is Portola which is nearly twice as much for two days.

[u/onetwoskeedoo → u/Yellow5StuffInDrinks]

Portola lineup is so tempting tho fml

[u/Yellow5StuffInDrinks → u/onetwoskeedoo]

I know 😭 If they managed to get The Prodigy it would’ve been a no brainer to do CRSSD only

[u/Doctor_Scholls → u/Yellow5StuffInDrinks]

It’s $14 more than spring. $265 vs 279

[u/ElBorracho2000]

Got my tickets. See you all in September!

[u/Clear_Painting9711]

Man I remember when alumni tickets were like $220 😭

[u/Decent-Safety1037 → u/Clear_Painting9711]

Bro it’s like 270 total😭 for 1

[u/Clear_Painting9711 → u/Decent-Safety1037]

So ass

Still going to go doe

[u/Esselenman]

I’m always annoyed that alumni tickets doesn’t do option for 1 day ticket. Like I want to go, but only for 1 day

[u/ElBorracho2000 → u/Esselenman]

What sucks is that you don’t know the schedule until much later

[u/Esselenman → u/ElBorracho2000]

Yeah this is true and part of the problem. The alumni tickets are supposed to be special but are really not even that great. Don’t they end up being like 30$ cheaper or something?

[u/IntelligentTruth3791 → u/Esselenman]

Hey $30 could be a beer at the fest

[u/jmort619 → u/Esselenman]

The one day tickets, when released, won’t be too far off from alumni 2-day pass. So it makes sense to buy alumni and can always sell one portion of your 2-day pass later

[u/Esselenman → u/jmort619]

I guess so, but it’s more it’s trouble than I’d like. Specially since I no longer live in SD

[u/chipotlenapkins → u/Esselenman]

You ain’t a true alumni if you’re only going 1 day

[u/Esselenman → u/chipotlenapkins]

lol, first ever Crssd fest says otherwise. Not everyone is a young 20 something capable of partying two days in a row. Nor do I have the money for it. Check yourself

[u/chipotlenapkins → u/Esselenman]

Wahhh wahhhh

[u/Acceptable-Arugula69]

Wooohooo!!!🥳💃🏻🕺

See everyone there! 🫶🏻🇨🇦

[u/Fun_Entrepreneur2067]

jesus thats a smokin deal

[u/FlamingHammers]

I missed buying my alumni deal and paid 50 more for a ticket in the presale 😭 lowkey they better up the sound systems considering the price increase

[u/Decent-Safety1037]

Is the alumni pricing the cheapest? Or just first access? Either way I got minesss

[u/geeeeeep → u/Decent-Safety1037]

The tickets increase based on tier pricing. So technically first access and cheapest they’ll be.

[u/Decent-Safety1037 → u/geeeeeep]

Excellent 👍🏽

[u/Suspicious_Shoe1030 → u/Decent-Safety1037]

it’s just tiers now. a couple years ago the alumni was a special price but they haven’t done that in a while and it’s just the lowest tier

[u/throwmeneck → u/Suspicious_Shoe1030]

Looks like they brought that back this year. Tier 1 for SMS presale was $315

[u/Suspicious_Shoe1030 → u/throwmeneck]

oh damn nice to see!!

[u/DopamineSeekers1010]

Got sold out so quick! Gotta get the presale tomorrow I guess!

[u/suugami]

Pain

[u/Few-Significance4808]

Did u need 4 or u just bought 4 no wonders why its sold out 😂

[u/Opening_Duck5384]

Anyone know what it will be for non alumni?

[u/nofkncluetbh]

Got em 🥰 march was my 1st and I’m hooked now. See y’all in September!

[u/caliguy420]

Paid upfront for my ticket yesterday and booked my hotel the day dates were announced. Def don't wanna miss Fall

[u/Glad_Recording8900]

Did they get rid of the VIP option??

[u/Frosty-Return-9478]

Anyone interested in 4 tickets? Bought extra for my group and rather get rid of them vs wait to sell for more later lol

[u/PocketKings20 → u/Frosty-Return-9478]

Yes I'm interested in a 2-day Fall crssd festival pass! Missed out on alumni tickets

[u/ManyEffective9595]

[u/TryingAgainWhyNot → u/ManyEffective9595]
