So if you want to watch some high-flying jumps, gravity defying flips, and overall amazing feats of snow-sportage, absolutely make your way up to Aspen to see all the action. On the other hand, access to the concerts at night will require a ticket. Acts for the weekend include; Bassnectar, Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals, G-Eazy, and The Chainsmokers. All extremely popular and great performances in and of themselves. If you want to catch these acts, music fans can purchase All-Music passes for $125 (GA for all performances). A limited number of All-Music passes are available for $175 for preferred viewing, a private entrance to the venue, cash bar and dedicated restrooms. Which, let’s be honest, sectioned off minimally used portapotties are always a convincing selling point.

If you’re into preferred viewing, action sports enthusiasts can get four-day platinum passes. These passes let you access the exclusive “Platinum Tower” at the base of the Super Pipe. If you score these tickets you can get gourmet food, beer and wine and of course the clutchest views of X Games Aspen 2017. Platinum Tower pass holders also get preferred access to the musical performances. They get to join athlete meet-and-greets AND a private tour of the SuperPipe… So basically it’s more of a Golden Ticket than a platinum pass. Call it whatever you want; if you’re interested in living up the full 2017 experience you can get your tickets here! They are a bit on the pricy side, but let’s be real, you’re getting some great perks out of it.
