Alright, so glowsticks are a crucial part of Bonnaroo for me, and some of my fondest memories of the festival involve seeing them flying through the air relentlessly. So, I had this crazy idea that I could purchase a mass amount of glowsticks, like 600+, and attempt to get a bunch of people to launch ALL of them into the air at once using a blanket or something as a parachute. I think this would make a lot of people very happy, especially at a late night show, but then I got to thinking about the fact a few of my friends last year said the security guards made them throw their glowsticks away before entering centeroo. This saddens me beyond words, and I've kind of forced myself out of accepting that there could be such a rule at Bonnaroo. So, I sent them an e-mail in an attempt to gain some insight into the situation, and this was their reply:
Hi Brian,
Thanks for your interest in Bonnaroo. Unfortunately, glow sticks aren't allowed. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Best, Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival

This is not merely an inconvenience....it makes my soul writhe in pain. So, I was wondering if any of you fine people have any bright ideas as to how I could sneak 600+ 22" thin glowsticks into centeroo. I am more than prepared to engage in some civil disobedience in order to create a brilliant display of light and color, but obviously, I'd like to do so without being ejected from the festival. Let me know what you guys think.
i had a hot chic distract the guard for me and i had alot at the bottom of my bag that was covered by a shirt... gave her alot for helping me out.. also i put them behind my back along my waist line.. but 600 is alot good luck.. let me know what show u are doing this at though?

willrich...i'm not sure which show i'm doing this at yet...i'd imagine something late night friday...maybe tiesto or ghostland observatory. answa...I agree that where there's a will there's a way, and I'm pretty determined to make this happen.
One thing I was thinking was to put them in 2-3 big bags, and i could toss them over the centeroo fence to a friend on the other side. This seems like it might be possible to get away with late at night, but at the same time I'm hesitant because it seems like something they would get pretty mad about if they saw it. Think they would kick me out for that?
At the very least, I wouldn't mind sneaking them in 50 at a time, but even 50 of these might be difficult to get in due to their size. I'm going to figure this out.

Do it at Tiesto!!! I'll totally help out there!
I'm shocked to hear that they are banned, but I'm sure they sell them, so that might be why. I bought 60 glow sticks myself and will get some in somehow.
^^^actually - NO they do not sell them- you will see some vendors in the crowd with stuff they have smuggled in to see - but I have never seen AC/Superfly selling glowsticks/bracelets/rings/blinkies
previously I bought 100 on Ebay for $12 (including shipping) but earlier today I was at Michaels (Craft Supply Store) and they had tubes of 15 for $1 each so I got 90 for $6. I'd recommend that.
