Complex Magazine put together a nice video (watch below) that breaks down a lot of numbers from American music festivals that cover interesting findings from interaction on social media, number of attendees, and average prices.
The video even talks about the average price of different drinks. Perhaps some of the most interesting comparisons are between the price of grossing films and certain festival income results. For example, Guardians of the Galaxy was the #3 highest grossing film last year and made very comparable amount to EDC (Electric Daisy Carnival).
According to their data, it's also very interesting how some festivals have so many attendees that the population outnumbers surrounding states, and sometimes their own host city. This is a nice look at the American festival scene and puts in perspective what it costs to be part of this lucky group that can afford to travel to some or many of these great venues.
