Number 4 should read: On-line instead of in-line.. Sorry about that So, how was the on-line process? Was in cumbersome or easy. Regarding # 3, there are certain levels of added fees. SInce tix sales are through Sasq. website, how exhorbitant are they? Are they (or have they been in the past) similar to TicketBastard? (Thanks for the snarky answer anyway ;D) The prices you see are not what you get. Each ticket will have the typical ticketbastard charges. $10 per ticket for handling, $5 facility charge per day, etc etc. I dont know the amounts so those are just guess, but that fact they will occur is for sure. Ticket buying process in the past for me for this festival has been pretty seamless. Shouldn't be any problems.

Spokane. One of my best friends lives in Portland. She goes to PSU. The city is a little bit granola for me, but to each their own

Thanks for all the info, that was tons of help!!! I am an old lady (27) and my hubby is old too (25) so we will probably be on the rock as well. Our 2 year old is allergic to peanuts so we will probably be living off it as he won't be there! thanks again! Where are you guys coming from?

I am a pretty picky eater. I find the food to be repulsive and grossly over priced. For a personal pizza its like $7 for rice bowl its like $9. I typically bring a PB&J in my backpack.
The rock face is tough to explain. The gorge has some great places to sit. The "hill" is just that, a giant hill. The grade is way to steep and if the grass gets wet its very easy to fall on (trust me). Some people like to hill because it is very relaxed. Down in front of the hill is a series of plateaus that form the rock face. They are much more comftrable as you have something to lean against. The down side is that its jagged rock and cement that is not at all even. I would hardly call it the premiere place to sit but it is my faviorte place. You are much closer to the stage and can typically see pretty well.
Down below that is the sound board and the golden seats that are right next to it. They are guarded by security and security takes their job very serious. Dont try and sit in them even when nobody is looking, they will only ask you to leave and it causes a scene. In front of that there is a big GA area, typically where people stand. Its concrete and hot but much closer to the stage. If you want to be down in the middle of it this place is a good start. There is a big rail that goes the width of the state that prevents to many people from coming within about 100 feet of the stage. This area isnt reserved or anything but for safety reasons they only let so many pepple in at a time. I have yet to figure out the science of it because sometimes its packed to the rails in there and other times there is 50 feet of open space. If you want into that area and all the way up to the stage you stand and wait by the gates like caged cattle. Then whenever they decide to let more people in they do so and then mark it off again. in 2006 i had to wait through like 4 herds to get in there for Death Cab and Beck.
I am an old man (25) so I will be sitting on the rock face with my wife when we are hanging out at the main stage. Its comftrable and near the drink stations and provides a pretty decent view.
Have fun

true it is the same as last year. No argument there. I think people (myself included) are upset because the 750 seemed like an amazing deal and it was all because of a typo.

Fuck that shit... grrrrrrrr. Seriously! $1500 for a pair? That's quite a bit more than Bonnaroo VIP which in my opinion offers more and is a four day fest vs. three. To those that have gone VIP to Sasquatch in the past, was it this expensive? I belive last year was the first year they offered it. It was $1000 for a pair last year and that was only 2 days. I am pretty pissed about the change in price this year. I canclled my hotel reservation to do the premier camping when i saw the packagewas only $750 per pair. Then when they went to $750 each I had to call around to find a decent hotel that wasn't Super 8 or Motel 6 and didnt cost $150/night

I will biastly say Sasquatch. I have never had as much fun at any concert as I do at Sasquatch every single year. Lineup is really good, venue is the best around, and the environment is very laid back.

I really dont mean to sound rude but please do us all (including you and your kids) a favor and dont bring them. I would never tell others how to parent but its a poor idea to have kids in this environment. I understand why you would ask, especially since your little one is only 2 years old and being away from them for a few days would be tough. But again, please leave them at home, they won't have any fun and neither will you.

the headliners are def better but i feel like the lineup ends right there. With Sasquatch I can get an entire day and night of good music and variety, at Pemberton I could only get it with the headliners
