I only paid $20 for ticket last year and it went on for 2 days and they had FILTHY REHAB COME IN FROM UNITED KINGDOM!!!!! That's the best $20 I have ever spent in my life. See all you amazing people at the groove!!!

Prices may be increasing but so is the production quality and overall surreality of the festival. Nowhere else on EARTH will you get the same experience, and I say with 100% confidence that it's worth more than every penny.  Shambhala is one of a kind.

The highest tier of Shambhala tickets were $280+tax & s/h... coming out to $325.90 total. How can you call Shambhala “expensive” when Wanderlust tickets are “$99-$475″?

The corrections have now been made—thanks for bringing this to my attention!

Sat, 31 Mar 2012 15:27:00 +0000 http://sunpeaksnews.com/?p=9481#comment-6590 I moved from the lower mainland last June. The city became a noisy, polluted, over-crowded sprawl. People didn't connect. It was always sit in traffic to go somewhere to sit in line behind people to get something. Sun Peaks was our goal and it took some time and some planning and some sacrifice but our lives are better for being here. We have made some terrific new friends. We are contributing within our new community although we still have to pinch ourselves, on occasion, when we step out the front door. Sun Peaks is a magical place and our attitudes reflect that back to the visitors and guests we serve. It does not get better than this and I am grateful every second of every day.
