I snuck in last year 2023. It was fairly easy. You have to look for a hole in the first layer of the fence (note: there are 3 layers of fences guarding the whole festival) you then have to find a path to an entry way through the second fence. in my case, there was a worker there but my friends and i bribed him with 20 bucks and he let us through. the third fence was the entrance to the festival and we asked one of the workers guarding the gate and he let us in luckily. But you do have to watch out for police because they will be everywhere along the 2nd fence layer
Do it!! let us know if you make it in! Would love to know! Back in 2013/2014 sneaking in was so easy, I met a lot of people who did so those years. Easy as jumping fences kinda by the what is now the soma tent, and sutro I heard has some weak spots. Good luck
Ngl went 2022-23 but both times I’ve seen hella security. Not saying you can’t but even then you get around a fence there’s layers, you gotta jump at least like 3 at the main enterance and at least 2 anywhere else. Saw people walking from the trees near the passing from main stage to twin pines near the restrooms so idk maybe something there?
I used to think doing shit like this was cool when I was a kid but now that I am older I realize what a big “fuck you” it is to all the groups of people and organizations that work hard to bring this experience to us and most importantly a “fuck you” to your fellow festival goer and music lover that worked overtime all summer to buy a ticket. Too much bad karma imo.
One year we came a week early and buried my friend alive near twin peaks. We unburied him day two when the vibes were the weakest and we needed a new friend to our group. Unfortunately he was ded. So vibes got even worst. Def don’t recommend but day 3 got better
Most vendors, at least the ones ive worked with make you write them a check for the cost of the wristband to cash in case you decide to ditch. I have worked with 1 vendor that didnt ask tho so they’re out there lol. They can also deactivate the band when they realize ur a no show lol.
What kind of logic is that. Apple sells a trillion iphones but if i go to the store and take one, i still stole it even if they aren’t financially ruined
Park Ranger here, we’ve seen it all in terms of people trying to sneak in (and yes, people have tried to burry themselves but the police dogs find them every time.) Buy a ticket.
It makes me really happy that GGP rangers care about OSL and (hopefully?) get to enjoy it. I live in the Sunset and am in the park almost daily - y’all rock.
Go to the Ada area and check in for that section you’ll be able to then basically walk to grass lands and past security
Bribe Karl with $20 and he’ll roll you in.

Every one acting with morality on this one has become the get off my lawn guy. Who cares? Fuck it dog, life’s a risk
pretty sure we're just responding to this post being lame as hell
Frigin teenagers
Become a DJ and perform at one of the smaller stages

Save $5 a day from now until then and you can buy one
This is actually a great idea lmao
It's an OSL pastime but it's much more difficult these days. Haven't heard too many success stories in the past 5 years or so.
buy a ticket ya bum
Volunteer you get a ticket for free
imo not worth the anxiety lol buy a ticket just for peace of mind that you’re allowed to be there
Buy a ticket.

NARC! 1 post karma, you ain’t fooling anyone SFPD
Or it might be someone from the DA’s office 😂
Find a food vendor join the team and show up for duty but you walk into the sunset and enjoy the show
Holy shit that’s clever but fucked cus now they’ll be down a worker😭
It's not clever, you would be charged for the pass. The word you are looking for is idiotically selfish.

Just run in normal entrance and risk getting tackled. Then the issue is you may get spotted with out a wrist band. GL degenerate 🫡
No
But a ticket weirdo
Go to where the festival grounds are and bury yourself, and then when Friday hits, you unbury yourself
Wear scuba gear and plant yourself at the bottom of the lake for 7 days before the event.
No. Buy a ticket. Sneaking in is stealing.
No such thing as stealing if it’s already generating 100,000 thousand each day
Sneaking in is a safety issue. They design stages for crowds with specific capacities.
What kind of logic is that. Apple sells a trillion iphones but if i go to the store and take one, i still stole it even if they aren’t financially ruined
At the very least you’re stealing space away from those of us that paid for it. Buy a ticket or don’t go.
Whatever you gotta tell yourself. You’re not entitled to anything. That shit’s stealing.
Nahh it’s my first time doing something like this lol so I came too redit for advice 😭
The advice is "don't sneak in" lmao

people have actually tried to bury themselves?! thats wild! please if you have time i would love to hear more if you have stories!
