I mean the actual VIP boxes that have like 10 seats per box back by the soundboard. They are technically VIP but I know they get tickets for every show that comes to the gorge. They are usually leased by the sponsors like Microsoft, Honey Bucket, etc. The main reason I would like VIP though is to access the platform on the side of the mainstage so I dont have to wait all day at the mainstage to be close and have a good spot. I'm just not sure if the VIP box holders receive lanyards or its seperate and their vip only grants them access to the wait staff and seating? Oh, sorry, I know what you are talking about now. I have no info on those. I have never sat there. At Sasquatch there really is little or no advantage to those. I'm not sure if you get the VIP lanyard or not.

Made with a little bit of comedy love: Stevie Nicks - Leather And Lace (performed by Will Ferrell and Dave Grohl): That was hilarious!

Does anyone know if you have a VIP box do you get the lanyards and access to the cliff house? I know the tickets are somewhat different than an actual superticket. Since they change things every year, I can only guess. Yes, you get a lanyard and access to the cliffhouse. I went there last year and they had an ok bbq and shade, but that was about it. I visited 2 of the VIP boxes and the only one I thought was cool was the main stage, because you were actually above the stage. I watched the bands set up. It was fun seeing MGMT from that vantage.

Just to clarify, how does me trying to get 50 square feet more than you take away from your enjoyment at the festival? I understand how a 6'10" 275 lb guy can get in your way and limit your enjoyment. Is it a jealousy problem because you show up with a tent, 2 cans of pork and beans, and 3 cases of beer? Nice style. Asshat. Guess what, we made breakfast for about twenty-five people last year too, but we didn't need to take up ten times as much space as everyone else to do it. We had a camp stove, a little card table and a canopy. It's cool that you think driving around in a huge fucking camper means you're more prepared and that everybody likes you more. It's all in your head; to the outside world, you appear the same as every other dude who takes up two lanes drivin' down the highway: like you are compensating for a small penis. Once again how does my bringing a trailer affect your ability to enjoy yhe weekend? The rules say I can. Do I make you walk 10 extra feet to the concert? Do I make you jealous when your tent fills with rainwater? You must be the type of guy that says if I can't have one, no one should have it. And why do you care about the size of my penis? Are you jealous there too?

Dude, regardless of how much people drunkenly high five you at the actual festival, you won't gain any points on this message board by alienating everyone before you've hit 25 posts. I didn't know there was a probationary period where you had to not call people out for their negative posts. I try to jump in here and posts and I get people calling me all sorts of things. You hide behind your keyboard and try to put down everyone that comes in. Nice style.

Thanks Matt. I live in Covington so it would be quite a drive just to see the lineup.

As a comedy nerd, that Craig Robinson performance was one of my favorite comedy acts of all time. I can agree with that. I had never seen his standup and I thought it was great. The comedy tent is a great place to relax.

I thought Bobcat was way out of his element. I think half of the crowd didn't even know who he was. It is funny that they would bring in someone my age. I enjoyed it but he was not as good as Craig Robinson.

Hey Drew, what are you, like12?

Thanks wolfhat. And to clarify, I'm 5'10"
I just find it annoying when people start calling others names without any info. And to assume I am like a 6'10" guy.
Besides, who says a tall guy can't get in the front of the crowd.

Yeah that would be me. I'm the one that offers my outdoor shower to the people around me. I'm the one that allows people to charge their cell phones and cameras. I'm the one that supplies ice, refrigeration, and security for people's things. I am also the one that fixed biscuits and gravy for about 20 ppl last year.
So when you want to call people names, you should find out a little more about them. I have seen you call out ppl on here like the world revolves around you.
I guarantee you will be looking for an RV if you need something. Make sure you let ppl know you were very critical of anyone that had more than you do.
The funny thing is, if you ask for something from me, i would probably still give it to you.

That is a lot of money. I had a pair of VIP passes last year. The VIP viewing area for the mainstage was great. The in and out privs was also nice. As an Rver I have far better food than I can buy there. It was nice to go back for dinner at the trailer.
Sorry, i won't pay 1250 pperson for that.

I drive from Seattle and usually pick up a few ppl.
Last year I found out about a couple of guys from Acapulco that was flying into Seattle. I ended up picking them up at a park-n-ride. They paid me to rent a tent, sleeping bags and I did theor cooking for them. It turned out to be a blast.

I would pay a relative anything to mot ahve to take a kid that age to Sasquatch. In my personal and conservative opinion, I would not take a kid younger than 16 there.
2 years ago they even had a live sex show on the hillside that everyone at the main stage could see.

To say that Premier is not worth it depends on the person. I almost always pay for it and when i do I am always glad. With the additiuonal cost this year, I will be staying with the masses. For me I would have to pay 320.00 for the following:
Bathrooms with flush toilets (as long as you time it for right after thay clean them) I don't like to take dumps in my trailer.
Shuttle servcie to the Gorge. last year i had VIP passes and I could come and go. The shuttle should be walking abck and forth a few times a day. (Note, you have to pay for VIP passes to get in and out privs and they are not cheep)
They area little more liberal with the amount of room they give you. I was able to hold two large spaces for friends with RVs. Try that in GC.
If you are in tents, the free showers are nice, again if you time it right. Two years ago they ran out of water for the bathrooms and showers so that really made a lot of ppl mad.
You can sleep when you want. The saying is you party in the GC and sleep in the Premier. I found parties even over there that went until daylight. I don't go there to relax and be by myself.
If that is worth 160 or 320 with a trailer then you should pay for it. To me it is worth about 100.00.

I like asking the same question to 5 different SGs and getting 5 different answers. They never really have a policy sheet and briefing time.

Mine is 28' and i have had it in both Premier and general camping. The only change I know of is in the Premier. If you have a truck and trailer in Premier you have to buy 2 tickets. GC you don't.
