A VIP package that totals to almost $800 for this year's Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas is chump change compared to another event's gargantuan travel bundle. Iceland's Secret Solstice Festival is offering a one-off ticket that is set to make its lucky buyer's festival dream come true - complete with a private jet, a helicopter ride from the Blue Lagoon to Reykjavik, and a private performance held on a lava field. Intrigued? Fork up $1 million USD, and the one-of-a-kind experience is all yours.
The price tag of $1 million indeed positions itself as somewhat of a steal when reading through its lengthy list of perks, including: a return flight in a private business jet from anywhere on the planet for you and five other guests; 24/7 access to two private luxury cars (with drivers and security) for a week in Iceland; two private concerts by prominent Icelandic musicians; helicopter transfers; complete access to the main Secret Solstice 2016 event; a private aerial tour of Iceland; access to the world’s first concert inside the dormant magma chamber of a volcano; access to the world’s only party inside a glacier; and private access to Iceland’s world-famous Blue Lagoon, reserved for only your travel party; and loads more, listed below. Only one ticket of this type will be sold.
Secret Solstice, taking place June 16-19 in Reykjavik, made the news last year as their $200,000 VIP package-for-two broke records as the world's most expensive music festival ticket. Clearly, the event organizers have been intent on outdoing themselves; as such, they've broken their own record. General admission tickets begin at the much more modest price of $202 USD, a bargain in contrast to the rising prices of music festival tickets in the US.
Radiohead, Deftones, and Die Antwoord lead a hefty roster of world-class artists. Art Department, Jamie Jones, Afrika Bambaataa, Slow Magic, and more will carry audiences throughout the four-day fete. Iceland's proximity to the Arctic Circle can only lead to a mystical and magnificent time beneath the "midnight sun," a radiant period of the Northern Hemisphere's summer season, in which the sun shines bright as ever during midnight hours.
