Y'know, if you bought tickets to Roo in the hopes of seeing Phish, it's kind of a win-win. If they are booked, great, you got what you wanted. If they aren't booked, great, you'll have an awesome time regardless.
I think if Phish is headlining two nights I would get my ticket as soon as I could afford it. 'roo won't sell out the first day but I think 80,000 in 2 weeks is a reasonable guess.
With people who never had a chance to see them maybe. But I know a lot of older kids who are waiting to see the summer tour line-up before even thinking about bonnaroo.

I dunno, I see it taking at least a month...it's always gone right up to a few days before the festival (nobody really even knows if they've ever sold all their tickets)...
I'm not ruling out the possibility, but it seems a stretch.
I just don't see it happening. Especially if Phish announces a tour first. But even then, I dunno...we'll see, I guess.
EDIT: But that's just tickets... Do you guys realize how many people are going to sneak in if Phish is there?

made me buy my first early bird tix ever for ROo and I would be happy if they play and will have a blast if they don't.. So to answer the ?. yes phish will make Roo sellout tickets faster

to me Phish is music. im no where near a die hard phish phan but i know whats up when it comes to phish. Theyre excellent musicians who love music and that is very clear to me. IMO if you dont like Phish, you just havent heard them play the right songs yet.

I agree that Phish being there may make it sell out faster, but Bonnaroo is a jam band festival prety much anyways, so the idea that this is gonna attract a different group of people seems strange to me.

Could Roo accually sell out by the end of Febuary? this is my first chance to go but I cant buy them now. did the other years sell out and how soon did it? If they have 80,000 tickets that seems like alot to sell that quick.
Nobody really knows if all the tickets sold out the last couple years.....or at least i don't think.
Tix have always been available on ebay like the week before at pretty resonable prices....personally I really don't think Phish will sell em out till a couple weeks before but i do think it will be a definate sell-out if the are headlining 2 nights...oh and that's NOT a play on words.
I will just say this. When that line up released this will be the fasted roo to sell out ever. I would guess that this roo will sell out by mid march at the latest. With the two small shows before and after the roo the phans want to see the band bad. Not to mention that all the old heads will be there but then you have all these young kids that want to know whats up. Mark my words 1)It WILL sell out 2) It will sell out quick 3) Phish will put on a great show and we will all get our boogies on.
You need to remember that this is one of the worst economy in recent history. I don't think Roo will sell out, no matter who's there. Maybe VIP, like most years, but not GA. I'm not sure if I have the money this year. Gas is down, but people are losing their jobs and their homes. Seeing a music festival is low on most priority lists.

WTF?!?!?
Well, based on the normal early tickets... how many do you guys think have been sold so far?
So, tons and tons of people got denied on Phish tix. My thoughts now is that the roo will sell out in under two weeks with no problems. The issue is you have the old Phish phans and now a whole new generation of kidz that have been hearing about Phish for years. Its crazy. I actually got shut out for all my request but was lucky enough to get hamptons
