Out of the blue? How can you guys say that? you have been coddled to long. Your just used to being agreed with. You want a real discussion? Go to cnn.com
It's the economy. We are sitting on the precipice of a social and economic breakdown in this country that could rival The Great Depression of the 30s. Have you shopped for groceries lately? When food gets too high for people to afford we are all royally F**KED.
Although I agree that our economy may be in for a bit of a rough ride for a little while, that's a bit of an exaggeration don't you think?

^this is a conversation about why there are fewer tickets being sold this year. sooooooooo yeah. some of us arent going this year, and i think this is a totally appropriate place to be discussing it. i just think your crazy if you think all you see is people complaining on inforoo. thats all. /done
Talked to a friend of mine a few weeks ago that works security for Roo . . . he said ticket sales were way down compared to last year (he gave me numbers but cant remember what they were). They were hoping sales increased leading up to Roo. I will try to get an update from him and post it.
im sure they let the security guys in on the logistics meetings...

I know that economic conditions are not by any means good at the moment, but I can say from my personal experience that I know quite a few Bonnaroo regulars who are not going this year, and its not for financial reasons. I agree, high cost of living certainly has had an impact, but not a 20,000 ticket impact.
I have been on this website for over three months and all it has been is complaining. Everybody just relax and have a great time and quit worrying about other fests and other people that arent even going. This is going to be a awsome time.Fuck yeah
Some of you arent even going.You you know who you are and your ripping me?
Go away little man - we were having a pretty peaceful, insightful, fairly intelligent discussion here until you interrupted acting like a troll and starting drama. We would like to go back to the discussion we were having - get it?? "discussion" not "complaining"
Anyway - as I had said before - the economy is to blame but I do agree with several posters that some of it is also the choice of headliners. They are not for everyone - but I am happy with the headliners this year - not overjoyed but happy
If it rains a lot this year I wonder how long it will take someone to blame it on Metallica as everything else people did not like about 'roo this year has been Metallica's fault.
with gas and economy all factored in I'm still sticking to the idea that its a slightly diff crowd they were aiming at this year and that crowd is less willing to shell out all there cash and be broke for months to go to a festival.

While we can all agree that there are a variety of reasons that ticket sales are down this year, I think we can also agree that it will be awesome to have more room to rock out!

yess, even tho I'm not going I think they should cap it at 65 every year.

i dont think its fair to judge the willingness of "the new crowd" to shell out $$ this year with the economy factors.
while i agree with you to an degree, i know i wouldnt be going this year if it wasnt for pearl jam on the bill. and i know there will be a lot of people in my boat. and this'll be my 3rd roo.
