Is there really going to be 4 different wrist bands? I figured a 4 day pass would be 1 wrist band (lets say black for arguments sake), and the day passes would all be different colours (lets say red blue green yellow). Seems like having 4 wrist bands on top of the drinking age wrist bands for the entire weekend would get on my nerves a bit. Premiere wristband Drinking age wristband (4 days) 4 day wristband You could end up wearing 6 by the end of the weekend, but the day pass people will not get any wristband other than drinking age or premiere.

The four wristbands that guy was referring to were the four premier camping wristbands that you get for yourself and the three people intending to share your premier camping space.

Not seen this addressed, but can one person driving the RV into premier camping on Thursday night pick up all 4 of the wristbands for the rest of us arriving on Friday? If not, any ideas on how we get to meet up with our RV and buddy? Also - any way to get any extra wrist bands if we have an extra kid with us? I imagine there might be some people not using all their four who could/would sell them if they were allowed to pick up without immediately attaching them to a wrist! Thanks! Roll on Sasquatch!! To add to what Gramma said, as a general rule of thumb: Arrive together = camp together Arrive separately = good luck In this particular instance, you are a general camper wanting to hang out with a premier camper. There are always exceptions to rules, and employees who don't care about their jobs, but to me, it doesn't sound like you are getting into premier. Thanks, sounds like the best option is for the RV driver to spend Thursday night in General Camping and then all meet up and transition to Premier on Friday - sucks to miss the chance to get a good spot on Thursday, but oh well....

Relocating your RV to premiere from general camping is going to be an even bigger trick. Once you're set up in general camping it can be pretty difficult to extricate yourself, especially in an RV. Your best bet really is to get set up in premiere and designate a meeting time and place for your friends to gather and then you as a ticketholder can deal with JiveNation.
This really isn't as difficult as you seem to think it will be, honestly. I'm sure there will be many people in the same situation.

Last year we arrived in Premier on Friday with an RV and it was a nightmare. We totally lucked out when they opened up a gate to an empty field (the terraces I think) and we were first in and got a GREAT spot! Cant count on that luck again Once we were ensconced, moving would have been impossible. I think you are correct about lots of folks being in a similar situation, given the Friday start there are a lot of school age kids who really cant get there till Friday night (if their parents are being responsible/hardasses like me) .... ;D

Drewe, I think your best bet in this situation is to email livenation and see what they have to say. Relocating your RV to Premier from general might be easy, but could be nearly impossible. From all accounts, it sounds like they do reply to emails, but it might take some time. You have three weeks, so I'd just check with them. None of us really know the facts.

I have just done that - I'll post when I get a reply so we can all be educated!

Food question:
Do any of the vendors in the festival sell gluten free stuff? Salads for example?

Probably not much, if any at all. It's barely a step above fair food for the most part.

I can't wait to see my girlfriend drop kick the security guard who gives her grief about the food she has to bring in.

You're allowed to bring in food...

So I did some digging and apparently here is what happened in 2010: "Patrons may enter campground on Friday 5/23 beginning at 12:00 Noon; Campground is open 24 hours until 12:00 Noon, Tuesday, 4/27" The gorge site says the campground is going to open at 5:00pm on Thursday. I'm planning on rolling in relatively early Friday morning (will almost certainly arrive before 9:00am). Is it safe to assume the campground will be open 24 hours starting at 5:00pm on Thursday, similar to last year, and that I should be able to get in Friday morning without an issue? I'd prefer to to the drive earlier in the morning to avoid some of what I expect will be annoying lineups getting in, plus I need enough time to prepare for the epic experience that will be Biffy Clyro.

Yes, people roll in at all hours.
Shax, you are allowed to bring food in as long as it is in a clear bag or container so they can see what it is.

Thanks Stormy. I figured it was like that, but thought I would check. I owe you a beer or something. In fact, I owe many of the boarders here at least one beer if I think about it. If you see me, be sure to collect.

I knew about that but my girlfriend is already annoyed about having to bring in a days worth of food. If a guard bugs her about the amount of food or anything really, the claws will come out.

Try the search function, or maybe skimming some of the first timers or brasstaq (THIS) thread. This question has been asked at least 10 times now. Check this thread: www.sasquatchfest.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1090But next time, try the search feature; for example I typed in "Camera" to find the above link. Typing in "SLR Camera" might have been even more effective but who knows for sure, I'm not a scientist.
