How To Buy Governors Ball Tickets 2017: Chance the Rapper, Flume, Tool And More To Headline New York City Music Festival

It might be winter, but don’t fret – spring and early summer music festival lineups are being announced, which means you can officially start getting excited for the music-filled season ahead.

Coachella lineups were recently announced and, most recently, the Governors Ball 2017 lineup dropped Wednesday. Slated to take place from June 2, through June 4, the music festival is one of the biggest New York City music highlights of the year. Headliners will include Tool, Phoenix, Childish Gambino, Chance The Rapper, Lorde and Flume, among other popular names.

Cage the Elephant, Beach House and even Charles Bradley & His Extraordinaires will also be making appearances at the festival, which will be held at Randall’s Island Park.

Tickets will go on sale this Friday at 12 p.m. EST, sharp. Hop online fast, and be sure to open up multiple browsers ahead of the noon drop time – the site will be flooded with traffic and it will help to refresh multiple browsers at once to ensure you get your ticket order through. Of course, if that fails, hop on eBay or a ticket reseller. If all else fails, get on Facebook or Twitter and shamelessly beg.

3-day general admission early bird tickets will be available for $275; 3-day general admission advance tickets will be available for $290 and 3-day regular-priced tickets will run you around $305. Of course, there are the VIP packages and even a Platinum 3-day admission ticket which will include exclusive on-stage viewing, access to the front-of-house viewing platform and backstage access (all of this will set you back a cool $2,150). For those that are truly committed, however, make a beeline for the site’s Platinum page and immediately as there are only a finite number of these tickets available.

Check out shuttle and ferry tickets ahead of time and factor those purchases into your ticket price, too. Also, for the “most VIP of all the VIP experiences,” reserve a cabana or even a luxury suite for large groups.
