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!

In years past this has always been an option, and the people who have done this have probably saved a lot of money. However, this is a new year with new rules and regulations. I'm guessing that things will go down in a similar way to years past, but that's a pretty easy assumption for me to make. I have my tickets.

Don't worry souly, it isn't just you. It is most people on this board, and it is also me. I just think people should be informed. Buster seems to be interested in talking about it, and I thought I'd throw in my two cents.
I know this isn't always the case, but I do have some sympathy for people who could only manage a couple day tickets and then their rides end up with weekend passes.

I do too. I feel really bad for people who didn't get tickets. And that's that is very different than coming to the campground just to party and fuck with people's stuff.

Definitely! Those people deserve any and all punishment they get. I am optimistic that this year will see less of their kind.

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!

At the Pemberton Festival the camping situation was slightly different in that no vehicles were allowed. To keep things somewhat organized they marked out individual spaces, and each person was entitled to 1 space. If you were camping with 4 people, you got 4 spaces. It worked out quite well, and for the most part things were organized. Walkways/emergency routes were clear, and it was ridiculously easy to find your site at night. The only enforcement I saw was Festival Police making sure people weren't camping in the emergency lanes. I'm not saying this will work, or that it's even feasible at The Gorge, but Pemberton was a 40,000 person fest where EVERYBODY camped. It was also put on by Live Nation, so they know how to do these things.
Same thing at Stage 13 Festival, except the spaces were big enough for a vehicle. Those camping passes were good for 4 people though, much like last year, so this option also may not work.
They seem to be in some sort of unproven middle-ground between the chaos-camping that we experienced last year, and the super organized camping that other festivals have. My assumption is that it will be absolute chaos, and only the main roads will be accessible for vehicles. Prepare to have people wandering through your campsite at all hours of the night.
