Article Summary

•  I attempt to breakdown the total cost of Hangout including the tickets, hotel, getting to Hangout daily, food, adult beverages and more
• The final estimation is $1,000 if you go with a budget hotel option and up to $1,400 if you choose a nicer hotel near the festival
• Hotel costs are by far the biggest variant for Hangout, you can be on either end of the estimated total cost based on the accommodations chosen.  Renting a house or camping can also save you a lot of money on accommodations

Article Summary

• Hangout Music Festival offers three levels of passes: GA ($259), VIP ($1,099) and Super VIP ($1,699)
• Tickets are also available for a Thursday kickoff party for $50 sold separately
• Hangout offers a payment plan
• No single day passes are available

Article Summary

• GA passes are $269 while VIP begins at $1,099 and goes up to $1,599
• Top benefits of VIP are free food & drinks, VIP private areas, and VIP private entrance
