Common festival expenses to split
A festival weekend costs $400 to $1,000 per person. Here is what you will need to track.
Festival passes
$200 to $500/person
One person buys the group tickets. Split evenly by ticket type.
Campsite or lodging
$50 to $200/person
Car camping, glamping, or a nearby hotel. Split among those sharing.
Food and drinks
$30 to $80/day
Festival food, cooler supplies, and group snack runs.
Gas and parking
$50 to $150
The driver fills the tank and pays for parking. Split among all riders.
Gear and supplies
$30 to $100
Tents, coolers, sunscreen, chairs, and other shared festival gear.
Rideshare and shuttles
$20 to $60/day
Ubers to the venue, shuttle passes, and late night rides back to camp.

The tricky parts of splitting festival costs
VIP vs general admission
If some friends have VIP passes and others have GA, do not lump the ticket costs together. Split by ticket type.
Car camping vs staying offsite
Different lodging setups mean different costs. Split camping fees among campers and hotel costs among hotel guests.
Shared gear and supplies
Tents, coolers, sunscreen, and snacks benefit everyone. Split these evenly across the group.
Cash only vendors
Many festival vendors are cash only. One person hits the ATM and covers the group. Log it and split later.
Track festival expenses, enjoy the music
Create a Circle for your festival crew. Log every shared cost and settle up when the music stops.
