Bonnaroo 2010

[davezer]

Out of all my years going to Bonnaroo, I don't recall ever hearing of a "tent attack" happening. Usually everyone is in larger groups. It's generally very safe. Bring your girlfriend. It's a great time.

[Guest adam526]

Anybody else think they might be holding back a few names?

Yea, there will be more added. Probably not any huge names though, they've got plenty of headliner-worthy bands on there already.

i just remembered at woodstock 99 there was. i was only 14 at the time but mtv seemed pretty against it. as were the beastie boys. they went on the air and said something about how messed up it was

[One Hundred Fifty-Two]

This is why people got raped at woodstock

[goraiders]

this is definitely the most I've ever wanted to go to one of these types of festivals, if bruce was headlining again I'd actually consider it.

hmm the images don't show up at work but i see when i quote you that is says fred_durst.jpg. could it be that people that listen to limp bizkit are rapists?

Thinking about going to this. Did a cost comparison to Lolla and this is about $300 cheaper if we drive.

[thousandjulys]

not to rain on everyones parade but i wasn't that impressed with bonnaroo, worked there a few years back when radiohead and tom petty were headlining(which was very cool). maybe i'm getting too old and irritable. maybe it's improved in the last few years?

that said, i wouldnt mind checking out coachella sometime. this year looks incredible.

[dynamitekid]

Coachella is the worst. It's way too hot and it costs way too much.

i had forgotten about coachella til tuesday and looked at the lineup and was more impressed than bonnaroo and thought abotu goin to coachella. but after seeing this, how much is "too much" and what exactly is it that costs too much

It just costs too much in general. Tickets for the 3 day event are over $300. Camping passes are $55 a car. Water is at least $5. They don't let you bring anything in so you have to buy stuff there.

[bullflip]

now is that 55 dollars a car a day? or the whole time

[thousandjulys]

i know they are letting people bring booze in this year.

do your research.

do your research.

are you talking to me? i was talking about the camping area. previous years no alcohol was allowed in the camping area. the site clearly says this:

Reasonable amount of beer (limited to 1 case of beer per person) (NO KEGS, NO GLASS, NO LIQUOR), for personal consumption only (NO VENDING), by folks who are of legal age (21), will be permitted to be brought onto the camping areas (not concert area). If, however, in the security's judgment it appears that the amount of alcohol is excessive for the number of persons in the vehicle, or if anyone in the vehicle is under 21 years of age, the organizers reserve the right to deny entry of the vehicle and/or confiscate the alcohol. Kegs may not be brought onto the property. Please keep these things in mind and be sensible about how much you plan to bring in. Beer will be available for purchase on the concert field. Yes boxed wine is ok to bring too.

it wasnt a million questions. from what i'd looked at beforehand i figured they would be pretty much the same price, til someone said that coachella was expensive. i read the faqs but still didnt see where it said if camping prices were the whole weekend or per night. i assume per night. where the hell is the coachella thread anyway. but i understand its a bonnaroo thread so uhhh go bonnaroo!! yeah!!!! woooo!! anyone heard of any new bands announced? i havent. woooo

[dynamitekid]

I think the camping pass is for the whole weekend.

I don't know about price differences, but I know with Bonnaroo, its all about when you buy your tickets. I bought mine in the first tier, which was 200 i believe. Right now they are in the 3rd tier, which is 350.

not sure if coachella does it that way too. Don't forget to factor in where you live, as travel costs will be up there too. From CT to TN for me was about 200 bucks in gas (awesome SUVs! split between 4 people though), 400 round trip. it cost me about 500 bucks for my whole bonnaroo trip.

$350?

Ticket Price Levels:

Price 1 - $209.50 SOLD OUT

Price 2 - $224.50 SOLD OUT

Price 3 - $234.50

Price 4 - $249.50

Ticket fees are $23.10 per ticket, which includes a $6.00 facility fee, $3.00 contribution to Coffee County, $1.00 charity donation, and service fees.

All tickets are 4-day festival passes (Thursday through Sunday), which include camping and parking (except for RVs and other oversized vehicles, which will require an additional pass. See below).

There is a limit of (10) general admission tickets per order.

[One Hundred Fifty-Two]

When you take everything into consideration Bonnaroo for everyone not out west is cheaper than coachella. Also, what good would individual night camping passes do if you have to buy a weekend pass.
