CHICAGO, May 24, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Get your flower wreaths and sunscreen ready! Festival season is upon us, and CheapTickets.com®, a leading seller of discounted travel products and event tickets, has identified the top ten most popular summer music festivals across the United States, with Lollapalooza in Chicago and the CMA Music Festival in Nashville topping the list.1 Although tickets to both events— as well as many of summer’s most popular festivals— are sold out elsewhere, there is still availability on CheapTickets.com, and 10 percent off using promotion code FESTIVAL10.2
SUMMER 2016’S TOP MUSIC FESTIVALS AND TRAVEL COSTS ACCORDING TO CHEAPTICKETS.COM3
A recent CheapTickets.com survey suggests locals aren’t the only ones attending star-studded festivals, as nearly two-thirds of Americans said they would travel for an event.4 With regional fans and out-of-towners alike flocking to the festivities, it’s no surprise demand is high.
“These events are a big tourist draw, so average hotel and air prices during the festival weekends can get steep, but there are still smart ways to save,” said Justine McDonald, a CheapTickets.com travel expert. “You can stretch your travel dollar further on CheapTickets.com by taking advantage of ‘Secret Bargains’5 which offer up to 50 percent off hotels in the most popular destinations as well as great discount programs like Cheap of the Week®.”6
In addition to booking travel, buy tickets and search for nearby summer events on the CheapTickets.com® Festivals Page. Plus take a closer look at each of these festivals on the CheapTickets® Blog.
