If you prefer not being neck to neck with a few thousand folks having fun, and you like to imagine more space, easier bathrooms, and easier lines for drinks - VIP is a MUST. You'll have a great (but crowded) deck with a killer view of the main stage, a separate entrance to the whole park, a private area of grass to lay out, an area for bottle service (but why?), and PLENTY of drink lines. PLENTY. Your fellow VIP mates will be cool and a bit more relaxed, and security will be a lot nicer. For the price bump, it's kind of a can't miss. Except..... The food lines. OH the HORROR! Two or three food vendors in VIP, but TWENTY bartenders for THREE bars. You can get your expensive drink in 90 seconds, but it will take you 25 minutes for food. If they fix the food, then it's 5* all the way!
