Whew, I thought I was a big spender! A grand?! That's nuts. Although as someone else said, I usually only hit up one, maybe two, festies a year so I just kinda go all out
I think I took around 350 or so. I try to only pay for food once a day and eat snacks that I brought the rest of the time. But I'm a sucker for those frozen lemonades! I eat 3-5 a day. But I love to sit in the beer tent and drink, and I buy all my friends small gifts and just all kinds of useless crap in general. This year I want to make a drum, so I'm hoping to bring $500. Been savin!

there are ATMs but i have heard they have run out of money in years past. im not sure this was the case for the festival last year but it is generally expected that there will be a number of more people there this year.

I've been thinking about this, any different strategies for your insubordination?

last year we really cheaped it out, and although it doesn't take away from the overall experience that is Bonnaroo, having spending money does make it much more enjoyable with all the yummy food, party favors, and just cool stuff to spend your money on.
I want to bring about $400; I figure that's plenty for anything my heart desires during those four days

Last year everyone in my camp was acting like I brought a ton of money, but I'm glad to know I'm on the low range compared to some of you all! But really last year we brought food and stuff for our campsite, and this year I'll probably not even bring as much, just enough to hold me over in the morning before I walk to Centeroo. Last year I didn't get a poster or t-shirt there, but ordered my poster the day after when I got back home.

dunno how much you plan on bringing in but if you have a bag/backpack you could try to wrap the beer in a towel or shirt and put it at the very bottom with other stuff on top.

me and my girlfriend usually bring 5-600 between us, and thats enough for food, souvenirs(oh the pretty glass...), and everything else. I recommend trying to bring as much water/food with you though, cuz other than dollar grilled cheese(the best!) the food is a little on the expensive side, but oh so much variety and deliciousness
Factor in 6 bucks a beer inside Centeroo, lemonade and other food from vendors are normally pretty hefty, official shirts and such are normally 30+, random shirts around 10+, then you have to factor in "everything else." Normally 200-300 for me.
Best advice ever:
You dont have to pay for your drink inside if you have a camelbak... mix up huge mixed drinks with ice and juice or whatever you want.... make them a little strong cuz they get a little watered down throughout the day. but the camelback brand bags are extremely insulated... and your good for almost a whole day.... 40-60 onces of cold mixed drink on your back. If you have an extra camelbak sack(just the plastic water holding part) you can put them both in the same backpack and have one with water and one with a mixed drink... this is the best way to go
If you don't want to spend money, stay the hell away from the Broo Tent.
In the three years I've been, and the big beer fan I am, I've not yet been there.
I'm definitely gonna try to squeeze it in this year.
If you must go and haven't tried it already, go with Abita Amber. There's something about this beer on tap at the Farm that is like drinking liquid velvet.

Thank you, good Sir. I was thinking this and then just pile shit on top and then when I open it they won't want to put forth the effort to pilfer through it.

this works most of the time. you just gotta look out for the quickest line.. chances are, that person is just peering into bags and sending people through.

Word. I actually haven't ever been thoroughly searched entering Centeroo before. But I hear chicks have it easier than guys. Any idea how stricted they are on outside beer once you're inside?
