Collect Money for a Music Festival

Most music-lovers make it to a concert or ten, but only the truly devoted commit to a music festival. Regardless of the genre of music, festivals are often extensive events that require a bit of planning. By keeping the following tips in mind, you and your friends will be on your way to having blast at whatever-a-palooza.

Always Have Food Money

Most music festivals, such as Carolina Rebellion, last a full day or longer. This means you’ll need nutrients, even if it’s just pizza and burgers. Keep in mind that festival food can be expensive, but you can make sure your friends aren’t bumming fries off you by collecting everyone’s meal money beforehand via PayIt2. You’ll also see who’s already contributed, so everyone can be responsible for themselves.

Look Up Festival Rules

All large festivals have their own websites. It’s important to look at the information provided in advance, such as what is and isn’t allowed on the premises. For example, many large music events ban backpacks or chain wallets. Knowing the rules beforehand can prevent you from having to go back to your vehicle or leave possessions at the gate.

Invite Your Friends and Know Who’s Going

Some concerts are intimate events where one or two friends are enough. But at music festivals, the party just gets better when you bring more buddies! If you’re using PayIt2 to collect money for everyone’s ticket, food budget, and travel expenses, you’ll have an up-to-date tally of everyone who’s going with you. Additionally, your shared expense page includes several social media buttons to assist in inviting friends while collecting money.

Choose Campsites Wisely

Many festivals allow attendees to camp out during the event, which creates another area of preparation. Large, wide open fields will probably serve as after party areas. Secluded and closed-off spots, though, might allow you to get a bit more sleep. Choose wisely.

Create a Schedule

A schedule doesn’t have to consist of when to eat lunch, when to take a break, and other menial tasks that can be done on a whim. However, you’ll definitely want to plan a schedule based on performances and events. Many festivals, for instance, have bands playing simultaneously on different stages. Make sure you know who is playing and when, and plan your day around the bands and singers you most want to see. You can even send updates to your friends on PayIt2 to inform them of lineup changes.
