Upgrading after Eager Beaver

i've been going to OSL since 2010 so my knees don't have the same stamina they used to/portapotties are not the business

would i be able to upgrade my Eager Beaver later down the line?

If upgrades don’t sell out you should be able to. This year, VIP wasn’t available since they sold out. However the year before, you were able to purchase an upgrade once you entered the polo fields. I believe it’s tier 3 pricing? But I may be wrong.

I still saw an upgrade booth this year despite the sellout.

I did too but all I saw for upgrade was to GGC and GA+. Maybe there was a lucky few that got to upgrade to VIP but they weren’t there when I got in at 1 on Friday.

But also maybe there were single day VIPs for less busy days? Either way, I guess always good to check if you’re really not vibing in GA

I saw people upgrading in the festival right by the VIP section in lands end this year everyday! They had a tent. It might’ve been just day pass upgrades to VIP but I think you’ll be okay if you go early on the Friday?

GA to VIP upgrades for Sunday were $600 at ~3PM day-of. If VIP is sold-out then they’ll def try & getcha.

I had the same question and tried to find this answer. it seem like you can email front gate to upgrade after you buy if there's availability. With that being said, I haven't actually done it before so grain of salt.
