So I'm planning on sitting at my computer Saturday morning waiting for the moment tickets go on sale. I've never done this before, obviously I'm only doing it to get a ticket for $200. Anyways, I just wanted to ask the crowd about they're experiences with this and how likely I am to get my Tier 1 ticket.

Yeah, I did it basically right at 11 (or whenever the time was, I don't remember) and ended up with Tier 2. I was TRYING to do it at 11 on the dot, but the first time I tried to do it it didn't go through right and I had to back up and do it again. Even so it was only like 11:02 and I had tier 2.

Yeah, this year there are 4 tiers, of sorts. the first tier ($210), sold out in the pre-sale, and tiers of $225, $235, and $250 will be available this saturday.

I had the same experience last year. This year I went presale -- first tier, baby!!!!

last year i was on right when they went on sale and ended up with tier 2. in '07 i had no problem though, and i think there were tier 1 available for 15 minutes-ish after they went onsale.
also, keep in mind as already stated above that tier one sold out in the presale this year. i wonder if trying to get tier 2 this Saturday will be like trying to get tier 1 last year? or if there will be more available because its tier 2

Yeah, all the talk of a sell out has kind of scared me because I'm having to wait on my tax return. Everyone keeps telling me even if they do sell out there will be tons of scalpers but I still like the idea of leaving with my ticket in hand....
How much were tickets last year? Did Prices go up? I can't remember what I paid last year but I don't remember it being that much. Perhaps its just me.

IIRC tickets went on sale a few minutes early last year. Don't be afraid to refresh the page a few times before your clock says noon. My ticket numbers were in the 2000 range, tier 1, and I began the buying process about 3 mins prior to the official onsale time.
All in all we figured out that there were about 5000 tier 1 tickets last year.
Don't forget to make sure your clock is correct. Go to the official US time website at www.time.gov/ and get yourself straight before the great Bonnaroo ticket grab (now with Phish) of 2009.

just glad i bought my tickets the moment they went on sale and now i dont even have to worry about it! what you gotta do is save up directly after bonnaroo in the summer just 10 or so dollars out of each check or whatever so by the time they went on sale i had enough for the ticket to buy right away! Good luck to you all getting a ticket!
Didn't tier 2 sellout during presale as well...could be wrong, but I thought I read it somewhere
i think they did sell out two teirs of tickets, one being the early bird and the other being "teir 1". i think saturday will start at "teir 2", the 3rd available ticket price group. i think...
If you want Tier 1 tickets, refresh the ticket link continuously 15-20 minutes before tickets officially go onsale. It's worked for me 3 years in a row.
