ACL Ticket Price Rundown: Sabrina Carpenter to John Summit
Hold my third espresso—Austin City Limits ticket prices are hotter than a Texas sidewalk in August, and I’ve got ALL the deets on Sabrina Carpenter and John Summit’s festival days! The official ACL website just revealed single-day GA passes start at $135 for Friday, Oct. 4 (yes, that’s Sabrina Carpenter’s headlining night), while Saturday’s John Summit set clocks in at $145. Weekend warriors, brace yourselves: the three-day GA pass is $325, locked in through Ticketmaster’s verified sale, but slip to VIP and you’re looking at $650 for the full shebang—hello, shaded lounges and express entry! Now, before you choke on your cold brew, presale peeps could’ve grabbed three-day GA for $300 if they signed up way back in April via the official ACL presale newsletter (source: ACL official site). Rolling Stone just confirmed that VIP upgrades add exclusive viewing areas and complimentary water stations—handy for surviving that Texas heat—while People magazine notes local Austin residents snag a 10% discount on GA passes with proof of address. Single-day VIP? It’s $375 Friday and $395 Saturday, so maybe skip one day if you’re budgeting like me trying to fund my caffeine habit. Speaking of funding, Ticketmaster warns fees can tack on another $30–$50 per order, so add that to your cart total before you faint. Oh, and if you’re planning to park on-site, a daily parking pass tacks on $45—ouch! But hey, carpool, rideshare, or pedal up on a bike for free—#sustainabilitywin, right? I’m literally vibrating thinking about food vendors, merch lines, and the chance to test my mettle in those crowd-management queues. If you missed presale, general public sale kicks off July 10 at 10 a.m. CT via aclfestival.com—set your alarms, folks! And yes, artists beyond Sabrina and John Summit include The National, Lizzo, and Tycho, so ticket demand is real. I swear, I could rabbit-hole on festival hacks all day—early entry wristbands, shuttle passes, with the occasional latte break. Whew! My hipster aunt heart is racing faster than a DJ drop. I need to calm down before I buy every add-on upgrade in sight. My caffeinated soul is READY for Austin City Limits—bring it on!
