"More Expensive" Tickets: $195 + $7bf = $202 (no hidden charges)
As is becoming customary with dance festivals these days (though one can argue that the line between "dance" festivals and "regular" festivals is becoming very blurry indeed these days) there is a "more expensive" ticket option that gives you a VIP-like experience at the event. "You mean your own chain link fence and some steps? Why didn't you say so?":
"More Expensive" ticket gets you access to the delightfully shaded "Botanic Bar", which includes:
* Speedier bar and a shit-load of toilets
* A viewing platform to relax and unwind
* A chance to meet and greet the artists
