Anyone know if they're increasing the number of people this year? I know they capped it at 80,000 last year, but I figure since the headliners are huge and tickets are selling 20% faster they might bump it back up to 90,000.
I really dislike posting without my facts to back, but I saw 90K somewhere. I look at so many sites and so much info I cannot keep up with it. I will check on it though. I am positive that I saw that # somewhere.
i think i read they sell 80,000 basic tickets. but with security, volunteers, artists, and vip its up around 90 some thousand. i didnt mind it in 04. the more the merrier. the porto johns got kinda raunchy by sunday but i blame that more on the biblical rain storm then too many people. either way it dosent matter to me. i got my ticket ;D

I don't see why they'd make it more than 80k, last year seemed like a good amount of people, and even then, it was crowded. I thik 90k plus all the artists, security, volunteers, etc. would just get too crazy.

Come on folks, with this lineup all bets are off. What is your estimate of people that get in for free? OK, so AC sells 80k in tickets..we will still have 100k after all is said and done. I agree that 80k should be the limit, but let me ask ya'll...anybody ever sneak into a concert or a movie or a ball game? Multiply that times 100. Just my guess, but I think we see the same crowd as last year plus a few...thousand. More people to love, right?

Was that directed towards my post? I wasn't being serious.....You went to Woodstock? Did you get up early enough to see Hendrix? Do you remember seeing anything? Did you eat the brown acid? Sorry but my dad and my oncle went to '69, but they only remember so much. He said it is a complete blur to him. He also tried telling me about it, but I couldn't get much out of him. What's your story.

^ Yeah,man. It seemed pretty obvious that Roolacksreality was being blatantly sarcastic. Of course Superfly/AC will sell tickets to just about anyone.......anyone willing to buy one.
(and it hasn't been just a "few" of us since, like 2004 )

^^I am in awe.....hope you're planning to come to the inforoo brunch so's we can meet ya'
That is a push to say the least …. But tell ya what, some of the nicest and coolest people I have ever met are common folk like us .. I met Nixon once and wasn’t impressed … met Ted Nugent and he was an ass … then I met this one couple (or at least the husband) on this board and just thru talking they GAVE tygerlady and me a pair of VIP tics to bonnaroo (05) … you cant meet those kind of people every day …. We are hitting up Wakarusa June 6-11 then driving to White bluff (locals from the roo know where that is) … it is about 2-2 ½ hours from the roo so we will clean up there and get rest for a couple of days because my sister has a small farm there … then off to bonnaroo … let us know when the brunch is , and I bet we will drop in too … cant wait for the summer fests … this is only our 2nd bonnaroo, but I would guess I have hit a festival or two every summer for the last 15 years or so … … cr*****
i just picked up my daft punk tics for red rocks, so time moves on ... see ya at the roo
Okay, so I've just picked my jaw up from the floor.
You've a very bad man. very bad. because now im thinking - hmm, I've always wanted to see a show there. tickets would be $100 and I just looked at flights - we could get there for like, probably $750... but with either the virgin fest or lolla the following week... AAAAHHH!!!!
but fortunately, they are playing in NYC...and i think I have to go.

unplug, I count 83k in your photo.
Haha! Really? I counted around 81,267 1/2 (that's including 7 midgets).
Karma for that!
we prefer to be called little people!!!!!!! oh man 90,000 is too much if you ask me, maybe if they had more entrances into centeroo or if ga camping encircled centeroo to spread the ppl out more.. If you ask me they should only allow Inforooers!!!!!!!!
...The article is pretty good. Good information on all of this year's music fests and the partial lineups. I must say, Bonnaroo is, all in all, by far the best one in my book. Only rivaled by Coachella. Most of us don't have the option of flying across the nation though. The Pitchfork fest has some good music too.
SEEMS ODD THAT TOOL ISN'T EVEN MENTIONED IN THE B-ROO LINEUP! ???
