So I've read plenty about the vendors in the campground and I just have a couple of questions. Considering we are coming down on a bus from Canada, we are limited as to what all we can bring. Having attended other festivals, I realize it's a given that people will charge a little more for supplies inside a festival, but I'm just wondering what types of prices I should be planning for? If someone wouldn't mind sending me a PM with a general outline of what various items sell for, I would be eternally grateful and would do my best to return the favour.

There are no supplies at Bonnaroo, but if there were they would probably be priced similarly to those at the average store.

the general store has basicccccccccccccc supplies but not the heavy duty stuff. more like if you need some suntan lotion or ducktape or tarps you can get that kinda stuff in the general store.

I believe the question refers to the type of supplies that don't actually exist at the Roo, despite what a lot of people seem to have been led to believe.
Actually, I think this is a good idea for a thread, although nobody's going to begin discussing "what prices different items sell for..." lol, but I can tell you that as long as you're not some kinda speed freak or junkie that Bonnaroo will offer everything you're looking for.
I should've mentioned, from my experience last year, prices for all types of supplies are pretty much comparable to what you would pay back home. I was pretty suprised to find this out, too. The only problem is that some of the camping gear for sell (at any festival) might not work as well as it's supposed to.

See, one of the issues for ediger and I is that we're Canadian, and supplies are generally much cheaper up here. I'm not sure how much camping gear is down South. Unfortunately, it's too much of a hassle to bring our camping gear down to the States.
Yeah, gleemonex, it is a pretty insane idea to haul camping gear across international borders lol...sorry, I couldn't resist.
Anyway, as I was saying before...for the most part you should be ok just going into the festival without much at hand. Just bring in most of your alcohol and $250 per person should cover anything you'd possibly need for the weekend. That amount of money also includes all the food (besides breakfast, which you should pack and eat before you leave camp each morning). It's so great how the average guy like me gets such a break at Roo, even though I don't have much experience with other festivals besides 1 day things.
