When should I arrive for EDC Korea 2026?

Aim for midday the day before — time to check in, pick up wristbands, and learn the venue flow.

Where should I book a hotel?

Within 3 km of the Incheon venue or along the last train line — crews should stay on one transit corridor.

If the organizer runs them, they beat post-close rideshare surges; otherwise plan from last transit.

Watch official restocks or waitlists — resale tickets increasingly fail ID checks at the gate.

Cards plus a little local cash — some vendors are cash-only.

Transit or official shuttles first; after midnight, rideshare in groups and share your route.

Excluding tickets, domestic trips often run $1,200–3,500 per person by tier; overseas costs more — use the Raven planner for your origin.
