Punters have been groaning for years about the price of festival tickets, so Fuzzy Events who run Parklife have decided to rise to the challenge by offering a $7000 ‘Ridiculously Expensive Ticket’ to this year’s event.

Now just what can you possibly get to justify $7000 you ask? The ‘Ridiculously Expensive Ticket’ holder receives the following treatment:

Slip-and-slide festival entry
A personal drinks caddie (no more queuing)
An “artist” cabin backstage with personal rider demands
Portable VIP area with security entourage
“Coming to America” style sedan chair transport
Side of stage performance viewings
Bespoke cocktail named in the purchaser’s honour and offered for sale on the day
Personal welcome messages main stage video screen
Adventure featured on the Parklife website
Access to all of the More Expensive Ticket* benefits + 10 x MET’s for friends and/or lackies

Now before you cast judgement we should mention that the profit will go to the charity Heaps Decent, who help underprivileged and Indigenous young people and emerging artists.

John Wall from Fuzzy Events says, “We just read a report saying festival ticket prices have been rising. Having kept a lid on Parklife ticket pricing, we are shocked to find that we haven’t been part of this apparently industry-wide trend. Always keen to stay ahead of the market, we’ve decided to make up for lost time (and raise money for charity) by releasing the world’s most expensive festival ticket. That’s right, the new Ridiculously Expensive Ticket has arrived!”

The ticket is available at each festival date.
