Now that I just heard Langerado got cancelled, I can't help but feel a slight cold chill go up my back that Bonnaroo might go "the way of the wounded buffalo" as well.
No way. The reason Langerado got cancelled was because they had a weak lineup. No one was going to travel to Miami and pay ridiculous amounts of money for that line up. Bonnaroo on the other hand has a great lineup and should have no problem selling out, you have nothing to worry about.
Well, even with the Radiohead lineup it didn't sell out until the week of the festival. I distinctly remember that for some reason. I have a feeling these tickets will have steady sales and definitely sell-out. Die-hards will scoop 'em fast and there will be tons left for those, unlike us, who didn't start planning for this on the trip back from Roo '08.

No way it's getting cancelled. Langerado did this to themselves, moving to downtown Miami this year. It's hard enough to drive to Miami for most people (I'm in FL and it's a 6 hour drive for me). Plus, with no camping anywhere near the venue, it meant people had to stay in mucho expensive hotels just to be within driving distance every day of the festival (not to mention food, parking, etc.). When they moved it, they priced most of us out of the festival.
Bonnaroo won't have any problem selling tix this year with this lineup. How many already sold in pre-sale?

First Tier Tickets are already sold out. But there are only like 4 First Tier Tickets Right?

Anyone else scared?
Bonnaroo is one of the elite festivals in the world. This festival is not going anywhere.
Seriously, anybody know how many frist tier tix there were?
I think we got into this last year and came to the conclusion that there seem to be several thousand tier 1 tix. I remember people checking ticket #'s and such but no one really knows for sure.

I think you are right on this! I have a bit of anxiety of them sellling out but only b/c I am a natural worrier, but deep down I don't actually think they will sell out as quick as people are thinking.
As for fears of Roo getting cancelled, that just won't happen. If anything the cancellation of Langerado will just strengthen ticket sales for the farm.
bonnaroo is not going anywhere. and with the success of this year's line-up i will go ahead and say they'll have enough money to keep it around for quite sometime.
Langerado's biggest mistake was quacking up a camping festival. If anything, this will probably make Roo sell tickets faster.
true that. I was excited about going to Langerado after my boyfriend and our friend had such an amazing time on the indian reservation, but after hearing about the crazy hoops they wanted you to jump through in Miami I was over it.
Hopefully they'll get everything together and come back better next year, because I heard Langerado was one of the chillest festies there is

I'm a little worried about other festivals, but not Roo. Roo is a behemoth of a festival. It's others like Mountain Jam and Rothbury that I'm worried about... I don't want to go all in for some other fest and have it get canceled on me.
In addition to the relatively weak line up i also feel langerado fell because they moved the site to bayside park (which has no soul ). I think it had a good thing goin before it got to bonnalithic proportions, it got to big for south florida, there isnt the space for a fest of that size.
