# Tomorrowland on a budget: how to save money

**Short answer:** Tomorrowland on a budget starts with the pre-sale: in 2026 the Full Madness Pass cost EUR 327 there, against EUR 400 in the main sale. The cheapest camping option, Magnificent Greens 1P with your own tent, cost EUR 410 per person including the pass. Bring your own food and drink into DreamVille and top up Pearls online.

## How much does Tomorrowland cost on a budget?

The cheapest way to do a full Tomorrowland weekend with accommodation is the pre-sale plus Magnificent Greens 1P, where you bring your own tent. With 2026 prices that came to EUR 432 per person including the Treasure Case fee. Here are some common setups compared:

| Setup (2026 price, pre-sale) | Pass + accommodation per person | With Treasure Case (EU) | Approx. SEK | Approx. NOK |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Full Madness Pass, own accommodation | EUR 327 | EUR 349 | 3,900 | 3,700 |
| Magnificent Greens 1P (own tent) | EUR 410 | EUR 432 | 4,800 | 4,600 |
| Easy Tent 4P (four sharing) | EUR 596 | EUR 618 | 6,900 | 6,550 |
| Easy Tent 2P | EUR 602 | EUR 624 | 6,950 | 6,600 |
| Montagoe Relax Room 2P | EUR 1,085 | EUR 1,107 | 12,300 | 11,700 |

Conversions use the ECB rate of 14 October 2026. Travel, food and drink are not included. Outside the EU the Treasure Case fee was EUR 31 instead of EUR 22. If you stay in a hotel, add the hotel and the daily trip in and out.

## 10 ways to save money at Tomorrowland

1. **Buy in the pre-sale.** The Full Madness Pass was EUR 73 cheaper in the Pre-Sale than in the Worldwide Ticket Sale in 2026. DreamVille packages were cheaper too: Easy Tent 2P cost EUR 1,204 against EUR 1,332.
2. **Choose a weekend pass over day tickets.** The Full Madness Pass cost EUR 109 per festival day in the pre-sale, while a Day Pass cost EUR 138. Three day tickets came to EUR 414 against EUR 327 for the weekend pass.
3. **Skip Comfort.** The Full Madness Comfort Pass cost EUR 570 in the pre-sale, EUR 243 more than the regular Full Madness Pass. In 2026 the Comfort areas were at three of the 16 stages.
4. **Camp with your own tent.** In Magnificent Greens 1P the pass counts as EUR 320, so the pitch itself cost EUR 90 for five days in the pre-sale.
5. **Share a tent.** Easy Tent 4P cost EUR 596 per person in the pre-sale, slightly less than Easy Tent 2P.
6. **Bring food and drink into DreamVille.** Your own food and drink is allowed at the campsite: up to 6 cans of alcohol (max 50 cl) and 6 cans or plastic bottles of soft drinks per person, unopened, plus unlimited water. No glass. There are BBQ zones, but your own barbecue is banned.
7. **Top up Pearls online.** If you top up through your account, any balance left is refunded automatically. If you top up on site, you have to request a refund yourself.
8. **Top up in moderation.** The minimum top-up is EUR 20, then steps of EUR 10. Pearls are only valid for one weekend, the refund costs 2 Pearls and bonus Pearls are not refunded.
9. **Return your cup.** Reusable cups carry a 1 Pearl deposit each.
10. **Travel smart in Belgium.** With the Event Train Ticket, festival visitors got 40 percent off the train to Boom in 2026. The codes were in the main buyer's account, 3 per Full Madness Pass.

## How much spending money do you need on site?

On the festival site you only pay with Pearls on your bracelet, no cash. Tomorrowland publishes no food and drink price list and we have not found an official source, so we give no prices per beer or meal. This is what we know about Pearls in 2026:

| Pearls | EUR | Approx. SEK | Approx. NOK |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Pearl | about 1.90 | about 21 | about 20 |
| 10.5 Pearls | 20 | about 220 | about 210 |
| 21 Pearls | 40 | about 450 | about 420 |
| 31.5 Pearls | 60 | about 670 | about 640 |

Set your own daily budget in Pearls and top up in steps of EUR 10 when you need to. Topping up is easier than getting a surplus back. More on top-ups, refunds and the rate is on our [Pearls page](https://tomorrowland.se/en/pearls/), and what we know about food and drink is in [Tomorrowland food and drink prices](https://tomorrowland.se/en/guides/tomorrowland-food-drink-prices/).

## How much does the trip cost from Scandinavia?

Travel is the item that varies most. Flight prices depend on dates and departure airport, so we do not give any. Keep this in mind:

- **Flights:** compare Brussels Airport (BRU) with Charleroi (CRL) and Eindhoven (EIN), which also had official buses to DreamVille in 2026. Include the transfer. More in [flying to Tomorrowland](https://tomorrowland.se/en/guides/flights-to-tomorrowland/).
- **Book after the ticket:** tickets have no right of withdrawal and cannot be switched to another weekend, so only book flights once you know your weekend.
- **Coach:** with a package that includes coach, pass and DreamVille accommodation, the biggest costs are known from the start. Coretours is one of the operators with such packages from Sweden and Copenhagen ([see Coretours](https://coretours.se/go/tomorrowland-se)).

Add up pass, accommodation and travel in our [package builder](https://tomorrowland.se/en/package-builder/), and see every price in one place on the [prices page](https://tomorrowland.se/en/prices/).

## Is Tomorrowland worth the money?

That is up to you, but you can compare what you get. In 2026 a Full Madness Pass gave three festival days with 16 stages and more than 500 artists, and DreamVille packages added five days at the campsite with The Gathering opening party. Per day, the weekend pass cost EUR 109 in the pre-sale. The gap between the cheapest and most expensive setups in the table above comes from accommodation, not from the pass.

## Hidden costs to plan for

- **Treasure Case fee:** EUR 22 per person within the EU and EUR 31 elsewhere in 2026, not included in the ticket price.
- **Hot showers in DreamVille:** the outdoor shower is free, but indoor hot showers cost extra, except in Montagoe.
- **Add-ons:** parking, lockers, breakfast and rental tents were sold in the Add-On Sale from 16 June 2026. We have not found their prices.
- **Pearls refund fee:** 2 Pearls.
- **Fines:** travelling by train without a ticket in Belgium cost EUR 90 in 2026, and the event train ticket is not sold on site.

## Budget tips for Scandinavian visitors

- **Pay with a card without currency mark-ups** when you top up Pearls, since everything is charged in euros.
- **Watch the exchange rate:** the conversions here use the ECB rate of 14 October 2026. If the rate moves, so does the price in kronor.
- **Plan for 2027:** 2027 prices have not been announced. Follow the ticket release and the pre-sale, expected after the dates come out in late November or early December 2026.
