Returning after being away for a couple of years and have noticed now that there are lockers on site. Did anyone utilize them last year and if so, would you recommend them? Thanks.

I got one two years ago and it was great. They had a "cell phone charging area" with actual couches to chill on and it was a prefect little oasis to sit and regroup throughout the day. Last year they changed companies and it really sucked. The lockers were smaller with the chargers inside them and no couches or chairs at all, and the chargers didn't even work. My phone actually drained while plugged into one. The seating area alone was worth the cost of the locker, but it looks like they're sticking with the shitty ones again this year. As much as that sucks, I'll probably end up getting one again because it still beats carrying a pack around all day.

When I got a locker it seemed like there were way too many people just camping on those couches, and I couldn't even get any time to charge my phone. I try to pack light, and get by with a small drawstring backpack in case they decide to be dicks about the bag size rule. It is nice to have a locker for a large sweater or blanket should you need it.

Last year was my first sasquatch, so I have nothing to compare the locker situation to, but I had one and I thought it was pretty great. If the charger in your locker wasn't working, they would just give you a different one if you told them and it was no big deal. My friends and I slept in that tent for like 2 hours on sunday because it was always pretty chill in there (that's another story, though). They're nice to have and you can share them with a few friends so the price tag isn't as painful.

I loved having a locker the last time we went, but with the current Canadian $$$ it would cost us almost $150.00 for the weekend this year. For that price I might just sherpa a backpack around. Tough call though.
Does anyone know if you can just pay them cash halfway through the weekend or do they have to be pre-ordered?

I always got mine in advance, but I saw a lot of people renting them there. Not sure of they ever sold out or not.

I split one with a friend - we had enough room to fit both our gear in it and split the price. Well worth it in my opinion. Kept snacks, sunscreen, poncho etc there just in case.

Hell, for $80 maybe you can find someone to carry your stuff around for you. Like your own personal sherpa.

Alright! Just booked a locker and it was only $60.00 for the four days as opposed the $80 that I thought it was. Not sure why the price dropped, but I'm not complaining.
Now all I need is for my fucking wristbands to arrive in the mail.

I was feeling impatient yesterday so I called JiveNation and was told they are not mailing them out this year and I am to contact the festival directly as they have assumed responsibility for delivery. BUT if they don't arrive in time THEN call JiveNation and they will "coordinate with the festival for a transfer of wristbands to be picked up instead of mailed". All of this I knew, but I was tired of sitting around and doing nothing so I figured I'd waste my time by doing something that would lead to nothing

I mean if I have to get them at will call then so be it, but fuck. What a joke.

I just emailed Mobile Charging Lockers and asked to be refunded the $20 difference. I'll let you guys know what they say.
Also sent an email to sasquatch.
edit: Actually, looking at the locker website - it looks like they will refund orders. I'm just going to have my order refunded, then re-order at $20 less.

I contacted Sasquatch FB by private message and their response was "Hi No Real Names, we're sorry to hear this! Best option for this is to contact Ticketmaster at 800-745-3000 regarding your tickets. Thanks!"... This is exact number I called before and they told me they have no record of being responsible for the mailing of passes or bracelets (and then told me to contact the festival)... I'm trapped in a circle of people passing the buck and no one knowing anything. I'm sure it will all work out eventually, but fuck, c'mon, this is ridiculous.

As you mentioned, it'll all work out (hypothetically) and we will have our wristbands for the festival. Given that I'm driving all that way, I just don't like the idea of someone saying they will be at will call without proof of that being the case. The last thing I want, or need, is to get to will call on Friday and end up in an argument over the issue. I'm hoping they arrive by the end of this week.

Isn't Frontgate handling the wristband distribution? Has anyone tried contacting them yet?
