Guests will find it hard to choose which stages to be at throughout the day, and will undoubtedly have to make some sacrifices. There are many different ways to see the festival. If you’re a hardcore “fesitvarian,” you’ll want to buy the full festival ticket, or even sign up to be a part of the Primavera Pro. If you want to plan ahead for next year, consider joining their three installment plan way of purchasing the ticket, which you can purchase up until 2 months before the festival. You can also buy single day tickets if you’re only want to see one particular performer.
