Does anyone know if it’s an option to upgrade to VIP from GA? I bought my tickets in April or May and all of my friends just got tickets last week but I got GA and they got ViP…. Is there anyway to upgrade at this point?

I’m so excited for noc this year! I haven’t been to a festival or any other kind of rave even in over a year and I’m finally coming out of hiatus to camp at Noc! I’ve been to Noc before and absolutely loved it, was planned to camp the year the fires cancelled the festival (this turned out cool for us anyway a bunch of ravers from all over went to a campground and threw our own mini festival) didn’t go last year, but am back at it now!! I just have a few questions about the camping process and how everything works.

1. Am I allowed to go in, out, then back in? I have some friends that are coming from out of state that will be in a hotel and want to go and hang out in the room for a little.
2. What’s security like? From what I have gathered it’s kind of hot or miss, if they look they look really well, or they might not look at all. Is that everyone’s experience?
3. I’ve never been a totem person/group, we always just kind of find each other eventually. How much of a difference does a totem make? Is it worth it? I don’t really want to be holding something all night but if my group from outside the festival can find us easier then maybe.
4. What are some essentials I need to plan for camping? Hacks? Anything to make camp like easier!
5. Are we allowed to mix in the campground? I’ve see a few videos of people do little pop up mini sets in the campground but the website says no speakers, do they really care? I’ve been mixing and producing as a hobby for 5+ years now and just want to play a little music for my group and anyone else that hears it and catches a vibe
6. Party favors, anyone had any issues getting them in?
7. Could I keep extra alcohol in my car and bring it in day 2?
8. What camping activities are absolutely must hits?
9. Is there anyway to get my friends from outside into the campground? How many camping wristbands do I get with each spot?

also side note - I’m planning on doing a run around the campground every morning, would anyone want to do it with me? One person from my group might but I thought maybe we could make a “noc run club” if anyone else is interested!

My girlfriend and I will be camping at noc this year and I need some help! I’ve been to Noc a few times but never camped there, and all the other festivals I’ve camped at I was within driving distance. I don’t know how people get all of the needed gear to the festival sight when they live out of state! Making the drive isn’t really an option due to the fact we now live on the east coast. I used to live in the high desert so it would be easy to coordinate with some friends but so far non of them are going so I don’t want to rely on that. Any suggestions??

So I recently bought a Garmin HRM 600 to pair to my venu 3 for Ironman training (don’t worry I’ll be buying a more capable watch soon), and I was wondering if anyone has found a way to keep the HRM in place while pushing off the wall! I bought the larger size band thinking it would be more versatile but in the pool I have it as tight as it will go and every single time I push off a wall it slips just a tiny little bit, but over a 200+ m swim that adds up quick! Any suggestions??
