ha yeah, even if my friends dont find tickets, i will probably just go alone. Im also going to suggest to him to try to buy the cheapest one day pass he can find online, then he will be able to get in camping then probably find one day passes for the other days for like 80-100 bucks outside the gate from people with extras. even if he doesnt get a friday pass, maybe he will be able to get 3 days of shows for around 300.

11. Foo Fighters 12. Wilco 13. Decemberists 14. Mstrkrft 15. DFA1979 16. Yeasayer 17. Local Natives 18. Matt and Kim 19. Surfer Blood 20. The Antlers
I'll only expect to see about 20 shows over the weekend, hopefully it will work out that i can see my top 20, but there will surely be conflicts, and there are still about 20 other bands i need to check out that might be able to slide into my lineup.

walk isnt bad, the lines to get in suck though. it was like a 20 minute walk and a 45- hour wait in line each day for us last year. the lax searches getting into camp area are made up for by thorough daily searches at the gate to the stages. its not really a fest where you can walk back and forth to camp and stage often through the day. we were in the amphitheater for the whole day when we went.

yeah, just bring a pack of baby wipes and you are good to go for the whole weekend. while vip might be cool to get close to stages, premium camping doesnt seem worth it.

you do need some sort of ticket( either day pass or 4 day pass) to get in camping though right? people cant just come camp? or camp and try to buy tickets outside of the stage gate? i know last year people were selling day tickets all up and down the walkway to the entrance. stupid friends didnt get tickets. this seemed to sell out fast for this lineup.

yeah i bought my ticket for 285, my 3 other friends that were suppose to come didnt get tickets. i was half tempted to try to sell my ticket in the next couple days cause i dont want to go alone and the prices are good for sellers right now, but one of my buddies says he will buy one if the price comes down to like 375, so i think he should be able to find that in the next couple weeks.

been to 3 bonnaroos and 2 sasquatches. crocs were probably most versatile for rain and heat, then i bring something like merrell hiking shoes if its dry and not too hot. i'll probably just bring some fly sneaks and some hiking shoes this year.

i was thinking about getting an ez up shade tent, those are nice to hang out under in the rain or sun when back at camp. will probably bring crocks to wears, they are good if its wet and muddy. bring some snack foods fruit beer wine and water, buy vendor food for a couple meals. will probably bring enough money to spend between 50 and 100 bucks each day, might spend less though.

nice so im assuming we are permitted to bring glass into the campground. Bonnaroo strictly prohibits glass so they take any glass beer or liquor bottles, only cans and plastic allowed. but i heard sasquatch is a little more lax. I'll bring some Montana microbrews. some great scottish ales and ipa's. Tartanic Strong Scottish Ale Blackfoot’s . A traditional Scottish-style Strong Ale. Dark copper in color, very full-bodied, smooth and sweet. Alcohol 7.75% by volume. lewis and clark mad max ipa and tumbleweed ipa are both really good also
