Yi Peng Ticket resale ?

Hello,

We are starting to plan our 2 week trips in Chang Mai and Chang Rai and would like to attend the CAD Yi Peng Event.

Our plan isn't finished yet and we still didn't booked a flight, so we are not sure we can be there the 24 or 25 November.

There is only Elite and Premium left on the official website. We are OK to pay the hefty price but want to be sure this is worth the money. Is the food that much better With Elite ?

We would mainly like to go there for the photos and the atmosphere, and would really like to get some lower tier to be surrounded by the lantern. Do we have a chance to catch a ticket on any other Platform? Resold on Reddit ?

Are we better just roam in the city and avoid the private events ?

Thank you
