having some one day pass people hang out at our camp has always been our secret to not getting ALL of our beer stolen and keeping some of our stuff safer. The people who want to just party the whole time might be better off going down the Columbia a couple miles to crescent bar for pasties and go-fast boats though. Sasquatchers gotta be about the music!

I will be hosting a bus party again this year and the main problem has always been getting enough gorgees to help us shut the party down when the sun starts coming up so that we can pass out for a few hours. In Short: if you bus it, they will come

Second inquiries: You are screwed. Oh yeah, and this is also true. I'd say, "that's why you don't buy from scalpers," but it sounds like it's too late for other options. It seems to me like buying from people on craigslist at a (somewhat) fair price leaves you open to being fucked over by not getting a real ticket but buying tickets on stubhub just guarantees you will only be fucked over by the outrageous price! I'm starting to think that for the folks that missed buying tickets from the first group trying to screw them (livenation), they might be better off skipping the next two (craigslisters and stubhub scalpers) and hope for some friendly partied out Sasquatcher to sell them a pass if they can get into the camping sans-ticket in the first place!

The arrival guide is missing an important tidbit. If you have a ticket for one day and carpool there on with people who have 4-day passes, do you get to camp all weekend? Do you have to carry that piece of paper with you the whole time to enter and exit the campsite? And what happens if you got scammed with a duplicate pass from some scammer? Selling fake passes for almost $500 bucks doesn't seem like much of a leap if you are already a scalper and if you take the advise of the people on this board and buy tix on craigslist YOU HAVE ZERO OPTIONS. at least stubhub gaurantees your tickets will be authentic

People will party (VERY hard) if thats going to be a problem, wildhorse should be the destination. If someone goes in with just a one day pass they will likely party even harder then someone who has to pull it together enough to find a ticket the next day. I have no problem with the way people party at Sasquatch, but if you can't find a ticket on CL/ebay, don't just show up and hope for the best. I thought we were trying not to support the scalpers

Not be a total buzz kill, but I'm not sure I like the whole "I don't have a ticket so I'm just going to show up and try to get one while camping" mentality. Having a few thousand people partying (and likely partying very hard) all day in the camp grounds because they couldn't get a ticket to the show seems like a bad idea. People will party (VERY hard) if thats going to be a problem, wildhorse should be the destination. If someone goes in with just a one day pass they will likely party even harder then someone who has to pull it together enough to find a ticket the next day.

I'm not sure if you're talking to me, but my 500th post is mine. All mine! OK, to bed, for reals this time. Was this like whatching when your car rolled over to 100,000 miles? Some day I too will horde my 500th post

Because the bus and generator are held by my LLC (limited liability company) I say put your bouncy castle under your own LLC and GO FOR IT! Keep your LLC's value low and grab a commercial general liability policy and let the insurance people worry about any litigiousness and put that in the not my f***ing problem part of the trip.

We might as well all bring our own buses this year with the way they took away all of the incentive to carpool (other than fuel costs and good company) I've said it befor and I'll say it again, I hope Honda provided a whole shit load of those carbon credits that live nation brags about!

So, the burning question on everyone who missed out on buying a ticket's mind that I have talked to is: is there any way I could just get in and buy some tickets in the camping area LIKE THE LAST TEN YEARS?! I am really hoping that there is because a lot of good Sasquatchers will not be adding to our fun if they can't. Any good ideas?
P.S. Buying tickets from some asshole scalper is not the kind of answer I hope to hear.

so there might be some issues with this idea, however if you get it there with it, I will provide you with as much power as is needed. It sounds like an awesome time! I would say that it could work fine during the middle of the day for a little while and then deflate it and roll it up to keep it saf(ish)

I think I will probably be the only one officially camping on the bus, but last year there were usually a few people who decided to sleep on the seats and they seemed pretty comfortable. There will be plenty of room for tents and supplies on the upper deck though so if you think you might wanna catch some Z's before the partying ends each night, that might be a better option. I think we will probably be picking people up at gonzaga and then the spokane airport and then we will be off to SASQUATCH! I'M SOO EXCITED!

Also, keep in mind that if somehow you make it into the festival (general camping) without a ticket there are usually people who are so destroyed by partying that they will give away their tickets on the last couple days (wrist bands won't work for this though) for a few beers or some Gatorade and munchies. This has been my best friend's tried and true method for years.

Last year we had alot of problems with people stealing shit from the bus (mostly booze and ipods) we caught one person but the gorgees did nothing except warn them that they might get in trouble if they are caught again. this year we are considering saran wrapping any thiefs we catch to full trash cans or porta-potties with a sign on them explaining how they earned the punishment they had recieved. think anyone would have a problem with that?
