Anybody know what time music starts on Friday? I assume mid- to late-afternoon?

3:00pm, I believe. With the sparse lineup on Friday, I'm anticipating 3+ hour sets from every act.

I hope Biffy plays every song they've ever written.

I'm hoping for a "phish festival" type set up where they play like 4 sets a day.

Hi guys, I'm planning to attend sasquatch this year and I'm feeling relatively overwhelmed. I have a few questions - I already checked the FAQ.
-is a cooler full of outside food / drink allowed? -how much is a decent meal? -if I'm in premiere camping or whatever, can I easily get to the regular parking for the parties and stuff? My friend bought the premiere pass, I didn't really think it was necessary... -how much space is allotted for tents, both in premiere and regular? -how much space is between the camping and the venue? -what exactly does no re-entry mean? Does it just mean we can't drive out and bring our car back in? -will sneaking in booze be difficult? -when does the full schedule with times coming out? I'm mainly worried Yeasayer and MSTRKRFT will play at the same time... -when does the music start in the morning? -if we arrive thursday night will it cause us problems? -should I worry about my things being stolen? We'll probably store them in the car
I'm really sorry for all the questions I'm just feeling pretty overwhelmed. I'm probably forgetting a lot of things too. Help would be greatly appreciated

Another thing, is premiere camping closer to the venue? I've been hearing camping (or at least general camping) is pretty far.

the poster above is correct, there is already a message board for this... but because you're clearly new and I'm in an especially good mood today, i thought I'd humor you. Hi guys, I'm planning to attend sasquatch this year and I'm feeling relatively overwhelmed. I have a few questions - I already checked the FAQ.
-is a cooler full of outside food / drink allowed? Campsite Yes, Inside the venue No
-how much is a decent meal? depends on what you define by decent. Generally most food costs anywhere between $7-$10
-if I'm in premiere camping or whatever, can I easily get to the regular parking for the parties and stuff? it was last year. we'll see if the alleged 2011 tighter restriction rumors hold true.
-how much space is allotted for tents, both in premiere and regular? you have more room to set your things up in premiere camping than regular --- but you should enough room in both.
-how much space is between the camping and the venue? Premier camping: the walking distance is about 2-3 beers, Regular camping: anywhere between 3-5 beers.
-what exactly does no re-entry mean? It means you can't enter the venue, leave and then come back again.
-will sneaking in booze be difficult? this depends on who's checking your bag and how savvy/adventurous you are. generally, it's pretty difficult.
-when does the full schedule with times coming out? a few weeks or so before the actual festival begins.
-when does the music start in the morning? Noonish
-if we arrive thursday night will it cause us problems? i don't understand this question. do you mean traffic? if so, that depends on the time of day you arrive. the earlier you get there, the better chance you'll have of getting through unscathed.
-should I worry about my things being stolen? no more than you would any other day of the week. Be smart. Lock up your valuables in your car.

Just show up and the rest will take care of itself. Pretty much, just remember your passport if you are coming from Canada. I hear the drive back home from the border sucks. Also, bring 2x as much beer as you think you will need. It goes amazingly fast when you are drinking for 14 hours a day.

Also I'm fairly certain that almost all of those questions are answered on the official Sasquatch site.

Also, bring 2x as much beer as you think you will need. This. I insisted, let me repeat that, insisted, that we did not have enough beer last year and I was told by my camping mates that we had plenty and that we did not need more. Shocking conclusion: we did not have enough beer.

I am always amazed when people come way short on the beer situation. Last year we did run out at about midnight on Sunday, but at that point it was probably for the best.
We thought 102 beers and 4 liters (a gallon) of various liquor would be plenty for the 4 people in our car (2 of them girls who werent heavy drinkers) and lo and behold we just made it.
Also, to pot smoking americans: bring more weed than you need. I figure if it rhymes people will remember. Most canadians arent willing to risk bringing it across the border and will pay some pretty stupid prices for it if we want it bad enough. So, gouge away!

Weed scalping

Never seemed to stir up as much controversy as ticket scalping. Maybe because eveyone gets stoned shortly after being ripped off.

Hey guys, I do REALLY appreciate the answers, and I did look through a few threads before posting this. I admit I maybe didn't go through all 48 pages, but you know... I think I have a general feel for everything I need to know, but I'll just keep lurking. Thanks.
