My spring break coincides with the SXSW festival in Austin, TX, and i want to go, but when i look up the website, the only mention of anything resembling tickets are "passes" for the music and/or film festivals, and those are 300-400 bucks. It sounds like those might be for some kind of business/industry types interested in attacting business though. Where are tickets for NORMAL people who want to go to concerts?
How do you get tickets to SXSW?opera songs
SXSW sells wristbands for $110 - $150 each (past year's price) that'll get you into all the music venues (space permitting). You have to buy them in person in Austin. The wristband sale date is kept secret, due to the high demand - they sell out quick. If you register at the link below, they'll send you a text message when the wristbands go on sale. Then you gotta race down to Waterloo Records and wait in line. If you can't be there to wait in line in person, you can buy a wristband from a scalper for double face value.
Each venue also sells admission at the door the night of the performances for like $30. The upside is you don't have to have a wristband; the downside is that it gets expensive if you hop from venue to venue. Plus, if you leave, you might not be able to get back in without paying to cover again.
