We started with just the Grandstand in '12. In '13, we had Grandstand, VIP and SuperVIP (we still did just the grandstand). Last year was the intro of the terrace, with the gold and platinum passes. This year the Platinum option is cheaper and, of course, cut the benefits. Last year you got a catered dinner, this year it looks like you will have to purchase your food. Other than the backstage access where you may run into a few of the lower tier bands, it doesn't seem like there is very much extra value to the platinum pass. You do get a "fast track" entrance. But here's a secret folks - just exit the metro station to the back towards the Bio Dome and go across the street to the second entrance - no line. The Gold Pass is worth the extra money, imo. The Terrace is very nice, offering multi levels, some shade and places to sit. You have pretty close viewing to the Main Stage. Private trailer bathrooms, several bars, and a food vendor - the smoked meat sandwich last year was fantastic! I still think Osheaga needs to step up and offer "VIP" viewing at the second main stage and at least the Verte Stage.

The main value of the platinum is the reserved GA right in front of both main stages guaranteeing front row viewing.

I don't believe they have that this year - it's not listed in the description, and someone on twitter asked and they said no. That's why I don't think it's worth the extra money at all.

Does anyone know if you can upgrade to Gold once you get to the festival?

I've never heard anything about that, I doubt it's possible.

That's too bad. They do it here at Ottawa Bluesfest.

It looks like they have platinum viewing at both main stages and the Verte stage, even though it wasn't mentioned. That makes platinum a much better deal.

That's great since some pretty big artists are playing on the green stage this year.
