Does anyone know if it'll be back? I emailed info@bonnaroo.com and got an automated message back stating to check the info guide. So I did, and nothing was mentioned.
I thought it was a terrific idea and I'm really hoping it'll be back.
A friend of mine had a question about how the pit works and I didn't know for sure -
Do they only clear out the pit at the end of shows, or are there any clearouts during shows to have different groups of people able to get in for a show? He though someone said you were only allowed in there for a little while before they cleared you out, but I thought once you were in you were in for the whole show.
I only saw them clearing the pit between shows. It would not make sense to try and herd that many people while a show was going on. That would be disruptive to the show.

Ok cool thats what I was thinking too... thanks for your help.
ya they emptied the pit after each show... it was a pretty fly arrangment for those that like to be that close... i personaly don't like to get any closer than the soundboard....
There are actually two pits, one on each side of the AV cabling. There is a limit to how many people are allowed in the pits at one time. What you do is sometime before the show starts you line up at the entrance to one of the sides. The entrances are on either side of the stage. Typically for most shows the line forms during the previous act. For the headliner or pre-headliner the line may form earlier so be careful and make sure you get into the correct line. You are also not allowed to carry anything into the pit such as cameras, purses, backpacks, camelbaks,...etc.
They limit the amount of people. Just go up at the start of the show before the one you want to be up front for and wait. They'll clear out, then let everyone in line in. You really want to get there early. People get very pushy. And pee first! Once your in, if you leave, there is no coming back

This is not so. We brought in my giant purse and a soft side cooler. Everyone had on back packs and stuff. They don't check you on the way in, they just count you as you sprint by

Hope that makes sense -
Clearing out during the show sounds more like the photo pit. Usually photographers are only allowed in for three songs.
Interesting... Maybe that was something just for Tool? They did not let us carry anything in for that show.
Yeah. It was just Tool because they didn't want anyone bringing cameras in because Maynard is all pissy and doesn't want his picture taken or whatever. You could bring in whatever you liked to the other shows, though
do they limit the number of people in or something? like, if i want to see pearl jam, do i have to wait in line to be close, or just kind of rush?
If you want to see Pearl Jam from the PIT you will have to wait in line a LONG time(unless there is tons of rain all day then things might change a bit, but...). There is a meet-up group for the Pearl Jam PIT if you want to join us.
