depends, most local raves (legal/not) in my experience can be from around 5-20, usually more like $15. major festivals and events will be much more, I got my EDC tickets this year for 250, and prices always go up for big events. So overall pricing depends on size of rave nd popularity of headliners. winking

I've never spent more than 25$ for a rave. The Desert Parties/Raves are usually 5$, but sometimes they're 10, if not, free. The bigger festivals where you can see DJ Bl3nd and S3rl I pay around 15-20$ for presales, usually 25 at the door. If you plan well ahead, presales are 10$ for those festivals. Our most massive rave here was Lala Land which was $50 a person, but was all day.

The least I have ever spent on an event is 20 the most being around 60-80 a person. But ive never gone to a masssive, the last year EDC was at the colisium, I wanted to go but parents refused to let me so kinda got screwed there or it wouldve been perfect.

I consider events featuring major headliners like deadmau5 to be more "edm concerts" personally, and you can end up spending a pretty penny on those so the other people here do have a really good point haha. but what I personally consider to be a rave is usually more underground, and local artists, and a lot more focused on decoration and surrounding, lots of neat local art, tons of lasers, etc. and I would never spend more than 30 on something like that, is what I meant. ^_^ festivals also cost a great deal of money if it's an entire weekend event or spanning a few days you have to think about travel and stay expenses as well. all big things to consider.

It depends on whether it's an underground or a massive and how far you have to travel. I've never spent $500 on a massive before because I always lived within about two hours of them. Even when I've flown to events I haven't spent more than about $200-250. 

Small underground events can be pretty cheap. The cheapest ones I've gone to cost $10.

Depends on where you go. A massive is probably going to cost you $500 and up, depending on ticket prices, how much you have to pay for travel/lodging. Most the events I go to in my city have tickets starting at $15 to $20 for smaller artists, and going up to $40+ for more well known artists (deadmau5 tickets sold out here at $70 I think)

I would never spend more than 20 on a rave. where I'm from, even '30 dollar at the door' raves you can get presales for 10, maybe 15 bucks. just think ahead, it saves major $$$ (:
