Tickets for the three-day Electric Daisy Carnival go on sale

Planning to attend the Electric Daisy Carnival in 2016? Tickets for the event, produced by Insomniac, go on sale for next year’s event Sept. 21.

The three-day festival that merges music and art takes over the Las Vegas Motor Speedway on June 17, 18 and 19 to celebrate its 20th year.

Just last June, EDC in Las Vegas brought together a sold-out crowd of more than 400,000 people from around the world. Insomniac transformed the 1,000-acre speedway into a neon-lit playground, where more than 200 dance music artists performed on eight stages. The event included more than 20 immersive art installations, 72 wedding ceremonies and local and organic food-truck fare.

The previous incarnation of the festival included an “EDC Week Charity Auction” through eBay that allowed fans to bid on experiences such as behind-the-scenes tours, helicopter rides and passes to all of Insomniac’s events for an entire year. The effort alone raised $70,000 for Culture Shock Las Vegas, a nonprofit organization geared toward youth who want to experience dance and art.

Note that starting on Oct. 1, all passes purchased will have a 9% tax tacked onto the bill since the city of Las Vegas amended the Live Entertainment Tax (LET) bill.

Three-day general admission passes start at $335 while VIP three-day passes are priced at $699. VIP guests land a separate entrance for expedited entry, elevated viewing decks at multiple stages, private bars and restroom facilities, high-end dining options, Wi-Fi hot spots, access to exclusive lounges and more in 2015.
