I pay $90 for water because I can afford to, and I only want the purest water in my body. People used to die from waterborne diseases all the time in the 19th and 20th centuries. If you can afford it, you take care of your health to the utmost.
That's how it is up in the Skydeck though. The regular fest just has normal festival prices , which are still insane, but nothing as close to the Skydeck prices
6:00 Tax: Ok, can’t really get around that 9% Admin charge: bullshit charge #1 20% Service Fee: bullshit charge #2 Gratuity: bro… People always say you shouldn’t judge how people spend their own money… this is the exact kind of reason to look down on how people spend their money.
These are the types of people who are, at the absolute minimum, partly responsible for infinitely rising prices. Them spending 100k on a bottle of water only encourages worsening widespread predatory consumer practices. So next time you go to the store and pick up a pack of ramen and a 6 pack of toilet paper and walk away with a 200 dollar bill these people are a part of why
I feel like if a venue bans patrons from bringing their own, sealed water in but charges more than a certain percentage over regular price for WATER it should be illegal. That is dangerous.
Not to mention, it’s a raceway in the Vegas heat. Theres barely any shade, and it’s only from man made things. I’m from Oregon and when I worked there, I was sweating so bad. Never been in dry heat like that before.
I’ve only been to edc back when it was a proper rave and located in LA but I believe you can bring water containers and they have filling stations. They don’t want anyone croaking in the desert heat…
EDC has water supply stations everywhere. As long as you bring a camel back you’ll be fine. As for the alcohol. Bring your own. lol I’ve gone 3 years and never bought a single drop of alc at the event but man did we get hammered
I work in the liquor distribution Industry the fact that none of the companies have found out about this is insane this is highly illegal we have a tier distribution system and and an entire amendment on alcohol for this very reason this is breaking so many federal laws its crazy.
For me, it's not about affordability, but about common sense. Charging such ludicrous amounts for drinks only makes sense if people are actually willing to pay. I can't help but wonder about the type of crowd this event is attracting.
Common Sense was a pamphlet written by Thomas Paine that urged America to declare its independence from Great Britain. You're talking about economics in your comment, not politics. What you're saying is that while you can afford the $90 cost per bottle of water, you would not be willing to pay such a price when your money could be spent on other things.
It’s a flex ig for ignorant people who are somehow rich.. “woo look at me I can buy $4265 alcohol and $90 water” *IM SO COOL GUYS RIGHT WOOOO NO DIFFERENT THAN DROPPING $300 FOR A 🎱 EIGHT BALL OF MY COKE WOOO*
I'm sure for that they'd be charging at least 50 bucks, also to everyone who sees this, DO NOT REPLY TO THE SPAM. REPORT IT AND MOVE ON. REPORT THE CHANNEL. REPLYING MAKES YT KEEP IT UP.
I mean, if people pay for it you can charge whatever you want. It’s different if they were falsely labeling the alcohol as higher quality than it actually is, but they’re not doing that
This is the VIP bottle service at one of the swankiest clubs in Vegas. Any weekend of the year bottle service there you're looking at $1600 a bottle. on the festival grounds you pay around $20 a Jack and coke and I think around $10 a bottle of water. There are also water stations everywhere you can fill your bottle for free. What you see there is for the whales and not us regular shlubs. But thats Vegas for you, $20 beers, $25 highballs. It's worse after the pandemic but its always been super expensive.
Vegas makes sure that whatever anyone wins, they get back before they leave Vegas. And then some.... As for those who do not gamble or win at gambling, LOL, you get to spend money!!! Ever notice how hard it is to find a clock, or even the exit to the building in vegas?
Actually ridiculous to be honest. They wouldn't even let me bring in my SEALED water bottles which really doesn't sit right to me. I understand outside food or drinks, but water is something you NEED. Especially at an outdoor festival in NEVADA. I already know some people in this economy would rather die and overheat than to pay that much money for drinks. And these prices have been cooked for years. It's not just the drinks either, wait till you see the food prices.

It's super irresponsible to charge $90 for water at an EDM show, where people are almost guaranteed to be taking shit tons of ecstasy and not having water would literally kill them
It’s not $90. A single bottle at a stand will be about $5-$10. They offer free water stations throughout festival grounds. It’s encouraged to bring your own flask, empty bottle, or water backpack to fill up.
If I were rich enough to afford some of the higher end stuff like it's a trip to the convenience store, I'd just get my bodyguards to smuggle in my favorite liquor for me.
@UTTPArrestAllFandoms looks like someone was bullied in school so much that they are forced to join a group of bullies and trolls as an adult as a way to cope with the years of bullying.
I feel like yeah if you are high profile enough you can just have someone run stuff for you or even tell them to go fuck themselves with the prices and they'll knock it back.
@@Th1sUsernameIsNotTaken EDC is one of the few events that allows it to some extent. They tried banning bringing in Camel Backs and nearly caused a riot in the act.
EDC Attendee - What's most comical about this is the skydeck I saw (next to the Circuit Grounds stage) - the entrance was RIGHT NEXT to the GA bar; at which you could get a bottle of water for like $6-9 and a drink for $15-30. Still outrageous prices but it would've been exponentially cheaper to just walk 20ft down stairs rather than do bottle service lol.
This reminds me of the Spongebob movie where when Mr. Krabs saw that King Neptune was coming to the Krusty Krab he added a few extra 0s to everything on the menu
I worked security for the edc for a company called CISS or CIS back in 2018. I was active duty in the USMC and the company promised to pay everyone there and pay for our ball tickets (shocker, they didn’t and then complained that we were bad workers because we slept once we got back to the hotel and over 70% of us didn’t go back for a 18-20 hour shift with no food or water). We got to Vegas speedway and didn’t feed us or give water and had us working security from the entry all the way to the VIP section. The amount of people with their parents credit cards was insane, people would drop this kind of money for a bottle of jack and vodka.
@@johndoe1274 I’ve been out for a few years now and am going to college, but learned from that to never volunteer in the military, I could’ve stayed back at the bricks and drank instead lol
Okay I went to EDC, that is only for VIP bottle service, which is already crazy expensive, most things were like normal event prices, I brought a water pack because they have filling stations.
Screw smuggling drinks in. I would leave and go buy $500 worth of alcohol and water and start selling it outside the perimeter to undercut them hard. Probably could make a few thousand depending on how pack it is.
There is free water throughout the festival for GA - if you want a bottle its like 9 bucks. Cocktails with doubles going for 35. Its VIP in Las Vegas. As a local, I know this is a place where rich people blow as much money as possible. We see it everyday. Add a festival, its eggs and bacon. This is not a Woodstock 99 greed festival with this level of prices everywhere. You see these prices at almost every VIP section club in Vegas year-round.
I literally make $90 a day. The fact that an entire day of me doing back-breaking labor equates to a single pack of water to these people makes me irrationally upset 😞.
For like half the price of one bottle of henny you can literally buy a handle of each of the liquors listed and a 24pk of each beer that’s the most criminal upcharge I’ve ever seen.
Money making tip: buy 5 cases of 40 water bottles from the nearest gas station and bring them to that event, sell each bottle for like $10 a pop and boom 2k in the bag
1: Pull up to EDC lot 2 months early 2: Bury a case (16 bottles) of titos vodka 3: Come back on day of festival and dig case out where you buried it 4: ??? 5: profit
That virtual tour was just marquee at the cosmo. The sky deck is just a platform above edc. The bottle prices are pretty on par with nightclubs here 🤷🏻♂️
Where I'm from (Egypt),You can get a 400ml water bottle for about 12 EGP which translates to about 0.2$ or something along that range,and good water at that I'm not even kidding
Bro where i'm from you can drink the tapwater and it's much better controlled than bottled water. And 1 liter is 0,2 cent. Which means for a buck you get 500 Liter best quality water from the Eifel.😂 Find it allways strange on vacation to not be able to use the fucking water out a tap. What's even the pointe if this shit will make you sick?It's pretty easy,don't use your watersource as a fucking dumpside. 😅 Unbelievable. If you visit Europe you can drink tapwater.
Its always been like that yeah but also its because MUCH easier to do so and some people are loosing any sort if self discipline for money. And with the internet we are able to see way more or it. And scariest part is there is so much more we dont see. Its unfortunate but we knew it was coming its been warned about since the beginning

this is for artists and rich people who take their friends, they have something similar in the football stadium they just built, its a flex to post the receipt and ask how much to tip on IG it happens every year EDC. at 5:18 you can see its grouped pricing its expected if you're there you're gonna have a big group and plan on paying for them another thing there's free water stations everywhere, everywhere you look there's people selling water/gatorade, there's event staff/medical/security/ground control everywhere checking on people, there's places you can go to relax if you've taken to much drugs, the med tents allow people to rest until they're sober, I watched staff near the VIP exits handing out cold bottles of water free to the people who looked like they needed it or asked
Thanks for shining light on this price gouging. It reminds me of Coachella in the middle of the desert 15 years ago and I thought that was high at $10 for a small bottle of water. Perhaps that is how they based their pricing. I was hoping by now we would have some sort of basic regulation for basic human needs. Until someone dies from dehydration, which likely will happen due to everyone dancing and needing water, and then EDC gets sued for millions might warrant change - which perhaps they can afford all the lawsuits in the world now due to their inhumane pricing. Water should be fucking free there after the cost of the tickets. 'Social' media should make them understand this is 'socially' unacceptable.
I remember when a “big” rave was a few hundred people crammed in a dirty warehouse. Even EDC was relatively small and tickets were like $30. The future sucks.
In the uk everywhere has tap water free and you only have to pay if you want a bottle. I can't remember if it's enforced or if its just good will but it's always good to know its an option. $90 is absolutely insane, like that's more than a full day of work for a lot of people
What's funny is they have water dispensers down at the main festival grounds where you can fill your water bottles or hydros. Guess how much those cost? Free ninety nine.
I was just at EDC and I bought nothing at the carnival and used the free water refill stations to fill up my water pack and only ate at the hotel. Saved so much money. Only had to pay for wristband, shuttle pass, and hotel but still spent $1500 for the whole weekend.
Literally just came back home from edc. I managed with $1100 on a GA+ pass. These prices he's showing here are the prices from the marquee sky deck, which was the only station i saw with astronomical prices because its a club in vegas. The other stations charged prices similar to sports arenas from what i saw.
I believe this was for the VIP area which usually is where over the top lifestyle people go, i have never gone to EDC, but I’ve gone to hard summer, nocturnal, and beyond. Usually the smart route is don’t buy VIP and just bring a camel pack to refill at a refill station. Nothing else is worth it at these events. And its only gunna get worse lol
I haven’t been to edc since it was in 2002 when it was in LA and only one night. Beer was like 6 bucks and water was 3 bucks and we complained about those prices.
LOL… I useta go to huge raves back in the day where it was generally $25-30 for entry, and maybe $50-$60 for backstage passes, a private bar, and FREE drinks… There were also private vendors inside that would give out water bottles for free… Ahhhhhhhhh, all I have are memories, cause those days are long gone… ❤
Worst part is someone is going to go, going to spend a stupid amount of money on cheap booze and brag about how they spent thousands of dollars on drinks like it’s something to be proud of These prices sound like GTA satire. They had to have been typing up that menu laughing

It's super irresponsible to charge $90 for water at an EDM show, where people are almost guaranteed to be taking shit tons of ecstasy and not having water would literally kill them
It’s not $90. A single bottle at a stand will be about $5-$10. They offer free water stations throughout festival grounds. It’s encouraged to bring your own flask, empty bottle, or water backpack to fill up.
@@alexhrnndz it's 90$ for a pack of six, so an individual bottle is going to be at least 15$
@@maysee2515 no. Sky deck purposely upcharges from the water bottles at a regular stand bc the ppl who book sky deck have hella money to spend
This is at the VIP skydeck where the 0.1% wealthy people go
It’s an exclusive area, nobody there will be doing simple drugs
6:00 On top of the insane prices, note that they also added on an extra 9% for an "admin fee" and 20% for a "service charge."
$90 for Prime?
Meanwhile stores over here are dumping their excess Prime stock for around R3 per bottle (which is the equivalent of about 20 US cents)
If I were rich enough to afford some of the higher end stuff like it's a trip to the convenience store, I'd just get my bodyguards to smuggle in my favorite liquor for me.
@UTTPArrestAllFandoms looks like someone was bullied in school so much that they are forced to join a group of bullies and trolls as an adult as a way to cope with the years of bullying.
I feel like yeah if you are high profile enough you can just have someone run stuff for you or even tell them to go fuck themselves with the prices and they'll knock it back.
Could have gotten a gram of M for €20 instead
It’s actually disgusting on how they are slowly shaping concerts and events to tailor exclusively to the rich.
I live in Vegas and tell people visiting to pack plenty of water for the event unless you really hate your credit score.
Doesn't really help when a lot of events don't let you bring in water lol
Ladies and gentlemen! We have found the individual more unhinged than Sneak0!
@@Th1sUsernameIsNotTaken EDC is one of the few events that allows it to some extent. They tried banning bringing in Camel Backs and nearly caused a riot in the act.
I don't think it should be legal to ban people from bringing in water.

That was for multiple servings, like a large group of people not a single person
Thats only at that skydeck bar. There's free water areas that are spread out very well and are easily accessible by waiting in line for a bit.
Sounds to me like a massive lawsuit is underway
EDC Attendee - What's most comical about this is the skydeck I saw (next to the Circuit Grounds stage) - the entrance was RIGHT NEXT to the GA bar; at which you could get a bottle of water for like $6-9 and a drink for $15-30. Still outrageous prices but it would've been exponentially cheaper to just walk 20ft down stairs rather than do bottle service lol.
Did they not have the water stations this year?

I worked security for the edc for a company called CISS or CIS back in 2018. I was active duty in the USMC and the company promised to pay everyone there and pay for our ball tickets (shocker, they didn’t and then complained that we were bad workers because we slept once we got back to the hotel and over 70% of us didn’t go back for a 18-20 hour shift with no food or water). We got to Vegas speedway and didn’t feed us or give water and had us working security from the entry all the way to the VIP section. The amount of people with their parents credit cards was insane, people would drop this kind of money for a bottle of jack and vodka.

Okay I went to EDC, that is only for VIP bottle service, which is already crazy expensive, most things were like normal event prices, I brought a water pack because they have filling stations.
I’m surprised Charlie didn’t need $1000 just to preview the inside of the bars
I would just smuggle drinks in. Nobody in their right mind would pay $90 for water.
I would not go at all to protest against this.
The people going to these places are already not in their right minds to begin with.
@@DaShikuXIimagine being an EDM fan
"nobody in their right mind"
That's what they're counting on
Screw smuggling drinks in. I would leave and go buy $500 worth of alcohol and water and start selling it outside the perimeter to undercut them hard. Probably could make a few thousand depending on how pack it is.
My unit here volunteers every year at EDC. This year we were at the Beatbox stand. They were $21 for one drink.
There is free water throughout the festival for GA - if you want a bottle its like 9 bucks. Cocktails with doubles going for 35. Its VIP in Las Vegas. As a local, I know this is a place where rich people blow as much money as possible. We see it everyday. Add a festival, its eggs and bacon.
This is not a Woodstock 99 greed festival with this level of prices everywhere. You see these prices at almost every VIP section club in Vegas year-round.
For $90 the water better speak spanish and give me all the answers to my upcoming calculus test.
it IS called smart water
90$ for water? Some people don't even make 90$ in a day what the fuck?
I literally make $90 a day.
The fact that an entire day of me doing back-breaking labor equates to a single pack of water to these people makes me irrationally upset 😞.

I had to spend $5 for a water bottle every once in a while cause the water stations were so filled. Even with the VIP pass there weren’t enough.

that bar looks more like the abandoned bar thats in that shipping container in cyberpunk 2077.
I have a big case of water in my car trunk/boot so when I go out somewhere I just grab a bottle and don’t have to deal with extortionate water prices
For like half the price of one bottle of henny you can literally buy a handle of each of the liquors listed and a 24pk of each beer that’s the most criminal upcharge I’ve ever seen.

I'm not even kidding
Bro where i'm from you can drink the tapwater and it's much better controlled than bottled water. And 1 liter is 0,2 cent. Which means for a buck you get 500 Liter best quality water from the Eifel.😂 Find it allways strange on vacation to not be able to use the fucking water out a tap.

Greed has always been a plague within humanity. There's not more of it, you're just SEEING more of it.
Its always been like that yeah but also its because MUCH easier to do so and some people are loosing any sort if self discipline for money. And with the internet we are able to see way more or it. And scariest part is there is so much more we dont see. Its unfortunate but we knew it was coming its been warned about since the beginning

1 Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. 2 Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. *You have hoarded wealth in the last days.* 4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. 5 *You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter.*

this is for artists and rich people who take their friends, they have something similar in the football stadium they just built, its a flex to post the receipt and ask how much to tip on IG it happens every year EDC. at 5:18 you can see its grouped pricing its expected if you're there you're gonna have a big group and plan on paying for them
another thing there's free water stations everywhere, everywhere you look there's people selling water/gatorade, there's event staff/medical/security/ground control everywhere checking on people, there's places you can go to relax if you've taken to much drugs, the med tents allow people to rest until they're sober, I watched staff near the VIP exits handing out cold bottles of water free to the people who looked like they needed it or asked
Thanks for shining light on this price gouging. It reminds me of Coachella in the middle of the desert 15 years ago and I thought that was high at $10 for a small bottle of water. Perhaps that is how they based their pricing. I was hoping by now we would have some sort of basic regulation for basic human needs. Until someone dies from dehydration, which likely will happen due to everyone dancing and needing water, and then EDC gets sued for millions might warrant change - which perhaps they can afford all the lawsuits in the world now due to their inhumane pricing. Water should be fucking free there after the cost of the tickets. 'Social' media should make them understand this is 'socially' unacceptable.

In the uk everywhere has tap water free and you only have to pay if you want a bottle. I can't remember if it's enforced or if its just good will but it's always good to know its an option. $90 is absolutely insane, like that's more than a full day of work for a lot of people
What's funny is they have water dispensers down at the main festival grounds where you can fill your water bottles or hydros. Guess how much those cost? Free ninety nine.
I was just at EDC and I bought nothing at the carnival and used the free water refill stations to fill up my water pack and only ate at the hotel. Saved so much money. Only had to pay for wristband, shuttle pass, and hotel but still spent $1500 for the whole weekend.
Yeah, EDC is do able with a budget of $1200-2000. Have gone 3 times. Worth the experience in my opinion. Not hard to save money too.
Literally just came back home from edc. I managed with $1100 on a GA+ pass. These prices he's showing here are the prices from the marquee sky deck, which was the only station i saw with astronomical prices because its a club in vegas. The other stations charged prices similar to sports arenas from what i saw.

Usually the smart route is don’t buy VIP and just bring a camel pack to refill at a refill station. Nothing else is worth it at these events. And its only gunna get worse lol
