If we're a first time volunteer applicant do we have to wait until Monday or can I just apply now through the link you just posted?

It shows options for first time volunteers, but you're not supposed to have the link yet until Monday. I'd wait for 1st thing Monday. They gave us the link cause returning volunteers get priority by having the opportunity to turn in apps a few days earlier.
If you read the email, it was only sent out to a LIMITED group of returning volunteers and hopefully today everyone should get their own email. It could be good to look at though and prep yourself for who you want to work with, what top Croos you want, etc so you can fill out it more quickly when you're allowed to.
Just got email info on app and submitted deposit. I'm in there baby!
You put in your deposit already, how? Enlighten me![/Sorry warped, I got carried away. I filled out application and submitted my application fee (25.00).
**QUESTION**: What is the major difference between Festival C'roo and Clean Vibes C'roo? I was hoping to working during show through Clean Vibes, but they are asking for my $300 NOW along with my $25 registration fee. The Bonnaroo website says that all volunteers will pay $25 now, and that our $300 can wait until May 17th. Why is Clean Vibes asking for this money now? Thoughts? Help? I volunteered in 2010 with WET and it was super easy. Why am I le confused?
you will not be assigned a croo until you pay your 300...if you wait til may to pay you will not get the croo you want...even though clean vibes is technically different, they operate the same way

After a few days of lurking and much reading, I believe I will make my first ever trip to Bonnaroo. What better way to enjoy my first ever camping music festival, than be volunteering in the Volunteer State (my former and future home). According to what I've read in this thread, it sounds like new vol apps will begin being accepted on Monday? I plan on filling out the app and paying the $25 fee ASAP. I've wanted to attend for years and just never did it. I believe a mid-life crisis may be kicking in........

For those who have applied before, how does it work once you submit the application as far as sending in your deposit? Can this be done as soon as you apply or do you have to wait to hear back before you can pay the 300 and secure your spot? Also, for first year apps how good are my chances of getting Prefest if I apply first thing on Monday?

Fill out the app on Monday. You can only pay the deposit after you have been accepted. Within 72 hours of paying the deposit, you will be assigned a "C'roo." Odds are significantly lower that a first timer gets prefest but I'm not aware of any rule that first timers are never prefest. Especially with this new "GuRoo" position, it seems there may be a few less returning vols for regular prefest spots.
I'd make sure to put Tollbooth Parking as your second choice since they lose less time on the farm than other during-fest vols. Finally, you really ought to consider whether you'd be OK with getting during-fest and possibly missing shows. Once you put down the $300 deposit it's gone.

I'm really hoping to join PreFest, hopefully if I submit it at 12am on Monday I can get in... How long is the wait time usually between when you submit the app and getting a response as to whether you're accepted or not to make the deposit payment?

Tollbooths are NOT the same this year (WET guaranteed ending by Friday night in past years, but we are not with WET anymore). Parking is what you should now say if you want to do "during fest" but be done early. It's guaranteed over by Friday night... Tollbooth has 2 shifts. 1 of them is 12-hour that's either wed/thurs/fri and then the 2nd shift is 6-hour and it's thurs/fri/SAT/SUN. I had to email them to find this out. I'm hoping the people that apply earlier have the earlier shifts but I don't know if they have the skills to pull that off or not.
Parking is less fun, in my opinion since youre on your feet and in the sun a lot more, but I like ending early. Tollbooth was fun greeting everyone from all over the US and Canada and whatnot. Put on wristbands, hand out the guidebooks and trash bags. Make sure the cars are marked properly and hangtags are there so that they can be guided properly by the parking folks ahead after leaving the tollbooth. I put tollbooth and parking as my 2 C'roos (and no, they didnt give me an error message or anything for not putting 5, but since we can't number them, I didnt want to risk getting the other 3)
Your deposit is refundable (minus $25 cancellation fee) until May 17th. And you can try to find someone that'll agree to switch shifts once they're assigned around May 27th.
I put my app in Wednesday night. No acceptance response yet. I'm thinking it'll maybe show up next week at the earliest.

Someone should post on here when it becomes available for them to put in their deposit! becauuuuseee my email server is down for i dont know how long, and I want to know if I'm missing my oppurtunity to put in my deposit because of my email being down.

You have to be accepted but I'm sure when we are accepted and able to put in our deposit, we'll let you know. We should get info on our login info too. We still need a password to log in with.
I'm assuming we're able to camp on the grounds from the date we get there right, since volunteers have to show up early?
Yes. Unless you're doing toll booths, I believe, you immediately go to camp in the main volunteer camping section out near POD 1. Toll booth camp is near the West Tollbooths, closest to POD 6, near the silo (upper left on a Roo map). I believe we were in Camp Zoolander. Our cars still get searched and we are parked similarly to regular patrons and immediately set up camp.
Hmm, I'm planning on flying down, hopefully getting there from nashville airport isn't too much of a hassle.
well, the regular shuttles Bonnaroo provides won't be available, but I'm sure you can easily get a long cab ride, or even better...someone here can pick you up on their way?
I saw 2 people on Bonnaroo's Facebook saying they're essentially waiting on the link to be posted on the site still, which made me check it myself and no updates yet. Hopefully they post a status announcing it and post the link for new volunteers soon, on the website.
51 year old first timer applied this morning and am sooooo excited. Hope I get accepted.
Aaaack! How did you sign up already? There's no link, yet. I was told in an email the link would go live at 12pm EST today. btw, I'm a first time volunteer too....and probably closer in age to you than 85% of those who will sign up.

Probably cause I posted my email with link last week.
ooh! I'll let those on Facebook know then! Good to know!

I sure hope mine don't get throwed out!!! I was allowed to use the link, to fill in and submit an application, and to pay the $25 application fee. I got an email receipt for the transaction. So.....keeping my fingers crossed.

I hope not either. I'm not saying it would.....it's just my inclination to over-think things like that. Hopefully the link will be up in a few so I can get my app in too
5 more minutes and then you dont have to worry about using the link before posted online, I hope... I doubt they're really organized enough to do anything about the early submissions. They want your help. If anything, mayyybe put the returning volunteers that applied before noon today in a higher priority position than the ones that are new and submitted already. *shrug*
