Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Find out about raves in your area. Even though rave culture was born in big cities like London, today there are raves in all kinds of places. Check at coffee shops, vintage clothing stores and music concerts for fliers advertising upcoming local raves to get an idea of what's out there.
Step2
Decide what kind of rave you want to attend. The biggest decision is between legal raves, which are very similar to nightclubs or concerts, and illegal raves, which are put on without legal permits. Raves are also divided into music types such as electronic, trance and house music.
Step3
Buy your tickets before you arrive to save money. Tickets purchased in advance are significantly cheaper than those bought at the door. There is usually an advertised phone number to call which will provide you with a time and place to buy advance tickets.
Step4
Arrange transportation before you go. Many times, rave venues are in distant or isolated locations, so ensuring that you have a ride home from the party is very important.
Step5
Dress the part with colorful clothes and glow sticks. A rave is a modern carnival where people use edgy clothes and flashy accessories to express themselves. Although you certainly don't have to dress a certain way, it might help you get into the party mood.
