What the data says

Week 3 is the peak. It isn't close.

Two seasons of PCB Club Card sales: Week 3 is roughly four in ten weekly passes, Week 2 three in ten, Week 4 one in ten, Week 1 a rounding error. Nine in ten passes sell in March, on-site. Lodging doesn't work that way — Weeks 2 and 3 book out in the fall. The numbers.

Week 3~40% of passes

How to choose

Check your school's official 2027 break dates, not the group chat's guess
Week 3 for the biggest scene; Week 2 for most of the energy with shorter lines
Week 4 if you're booking after January or the group is split beach vs. party
Book lodging first, then the party card — rooms sell out, cards don't
