Individual day tickets start at $30, and full weekend passes are available for $85 per person. Children 12 and under get in free, while teens 13–17 can attend for $40.
Dry camping is included with weekend tickets at no extra cost. Attendees looking for hotel accommodations can take advantage of a $10 discount at the new Microtel in Newark, available exclusively to Brantling guests.
