Question:
okay - it's my first time to Bonnaroo...here's some q's if anyone can help me out... I'm heading down w/ several friends and we're staying at a hotel nearby...is it better to take a car to the venue or find a shuttle? I'm more concerned w/ the drive back at the end of the day...for obvious reasons...but it would be beneficial to have a car handy. Is the parking on the actual campground or do you park and then go in? Also, if we decide to camp for the night is it worth it to get there early to make sure we get some "real estate"? Most of the venues I've been to require parking outside of the main area, so we're not sure what to do regarding a car... I'm calling "not-designated" if it's better to drive

Choices:
?

 

The best way to fix this is to copy it, delete it, go back to "New" and press "Discussion" this time, and then paste your original post back in. You apparently can't edit a post to change it from a Poll to a Discussion otherwise.

I'm sorry that I'm not familiar with Bonnaroo, but I'm sure that others around here are. Hopefully, we can help you out, and feel free to post around the site.

I haven't been to Bonarroo, but I was at Woodstock 99, and here's my suggestion.

Invest in water, before you get on the festival grounds. Bring your own drinks. Buy them for reasonable prices at your local grocery store. Otherwise..you'll be sorry.

You drive in, park your car, and pitch a tent beside it. Then you walk like five or ten minutes down the path to the grounds where all the stages are. Everyone has plenty of space, especially since they reduced to 90,000. Hardly anyone, at least that I knew of the year that I went, comes in during the day and then stays somewhere else at night. That'd be silly, unless you really just gotta shower. And if you take bob seriously enough, you'll have enough bottled water that you can just shower in that.

Water will cost a minimum of $3, possibly as much as $5. Anything with alcohol will cost more. Any food item? Possibly $10 per.

Sounds like the Bahamas. $25 hamburgers and $10 beers. My suggestion is take an empty, thoroughly cleaned bottle of mouthwash and fill it with Jack Daniels. Tell security that you're one of the few present that value personal hygiene.

Yeah they search cars thoroughly at the gate. All 40,000 cars. Better tell them that you have a cardiovascular condition and that your nitrous tank is really oxygen. And that those mushrooms are shiitake. Or you can just show your pass, take the free CD, and drive in.

A couple years ago when I went, yeah, water was like three bucks. You could get burritos for like seven. So do bring some water and some granola bars. But this isn't the apocalypse. It's three days, and everyone's very friendly. Bonnaroo's organizers aren't out to f their customers over the way Woodstock's were. They're not really interested in having a riot or people dropping like flies because of dehydration.

I have a Bonnaroo question.

Do people tend to sit or stand during performances?

This will determine whether I bring a chair.

You'd better bring one, but don't expect to see too much if you sit.
