so this will be my fifth year, my girlfriends fourth year, and this will be our first year doing vip as i just finished purchasing the vip ticket with limited tshirt and dvd, we have some questions for the vip vetrens out there,
1. what is usually included in vip merch package?
2. will we get instructions on where and how to get into the fest for the first time....like do we wait in the same line as everyone else and then when we get to the gates do they seperate us or is there an actual seperate entrence?
3. what is the buffet like, and what kinds of snacks are provided
4. and lastly what to expect in vip?
if this is a repost and should be posted in conjunction with another post....please move as you feel freely, i just didnt see a post that seemed appropriate to put this in.

1. Last year was a poster and a t shirt. 2. You will receive directions to the VIP check in and VIP entrance. 3. Last year I went to it once or twice. There were burgers and sliced beef with veggies and bread. It's ok, but I like the food in centeroo better. 4. A 20X50 camp site. AC bathrooms and showers, (very nice). A place to go where you can take a break from the madness. No searches going into centeroo. Thursday nite VIP party with free beer and private band. Special seating at the two main stages. No worries about anyone taking your stuff.
The speed at which you can come and go into centeroo is worth the price by itself. I could never go GA after VIP. You will love it.

The food changes daily. Sometimes it has been the same for lunch and dinner, sometimes different. Could be burgers, pasta, sausages, roast beef, chicken, fish, etc. It's not gourmet but not bad either. Think catered lunch food. I've been to VIP every year (except '02, when there was no VIP) and going this year. The convenience makes it worth it to me.
Once you go VIP you will never go GA again! You get great benefits and can wander into GA anytime you wish. The convenience is key. You can see so many more shows because you are much less exhausted.
I think the benefits are easy access in and out of Centeroo, especially no searches. We took a small keg of beer in for the police and it was awesome. You can get charis in and out easily. The food is all right, very edible and the 1.00 off beers help in both VIP areas. Plus having so much space not being all packed together helps. I met some many more people in VIP and kept in touch with them all and am planning on meeting up again this year. The showers are great, cold at times, but being able to be refreshed any time at all really makes the experience even better. Nice air conditioned shitters help too. YOu will never go back to GA again. Say hello if you see me.

This will be my 4th roo and first VIP as well. I'm psyched. Another question: what's the deal with chairs in Centeroo? What kind of chairs are acceptable? What's not?
2nd Roo, 1st VIP. We'll be the guys with the crummy camping gear because we spent all our money on tickets . Also we'll be borderline Albino when we get there.

Been to all the 'roos, this will be my second year going VIP. The biggest difference for me is how much energy I save by not having to waste time and energy walking back and forth to a far distant campsite. Everything on top is very well appreciated gravy. Corn gravy.

Couple more comments... If you are really, really tired, you can hang out in your VIP camp and hear and/or see the music from the main stage. Also, you can hang in the VIP beer tent "patio" and have a great view of the stage with no crowd. Also, there is a whole lot less dust during dry years in the VIP field. You won't need to bring a surgical mask to breathe. Finally, and best of all, the airconditioned bathrooms are wonderful and not stinky like the port-o-johns! Have fun and see you there!

I saw some people getting through the check in for the VIP with some pretty tall regular style back pack chairs. But my vote is for the crazy creek chair. I had one last year and they are awesome. Make sure you get the highback one, should only run you about 35 bucks on amazon. They are light weight and easy to carry from stage to stage. And you can lay them flat and use it as a mat for a little nap.
This will be my 5th year, 4th in VIP....as others have said, once you go VIP you won't go back to GA. My favorite part is being able to carry a beer OUT of Centeroo back to the camp...the VIP area is more like a friendly extension of Centeroo than a separate thing...removing the hassle of security going back and forth to your camp is a huge benefit.
on the subject of chairs, please dont bring the big fold out chairs into centeroo, crazy creek chairs are a lot more convenient to the people sitting behind you

It looks like I may be camping with the Such & Such folk this year. Seeing as how they have an area inside Centeroo, that's about as VIP as I've ever had it. So excited... this will be my 5th year.

This also my 5th roo and 1st time going VIP (missed 2002 and 2006). Im psyched to go VIP, especially since its free for me. I wound up winning VIP vegosse tix last year and couldnt go so I traded them for VIP roo. In the past people that my gf and I went with refused to pay for VIP, but this year we convinced them.
. Also we'll be borderline Albino when we get there.
