Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
Superfly/AC knows that these on site RV trailers are out of reach of the majority of 'roo goers but this is aimed at the minority of attendees who can afford it and like the extras. This is in the same category as VIP tickets, not necessary to most attendees but will bring in people who can afford to pay the premium price. I doubt they had planned to sell thousands of these things, more like a few hundred at most which is very doable when you have 80,000+ people attending.
I should say that I applaud that they are trying to provide options. I think that the pricing is a bit misguided but maybe that's what it is costing them to be profitable. (Not my problem!) I do hope that they keep trying new things and maybe they'll find a way to make something like this more affordable in the future.
The real frustrator about this is that it will probably require an even longer walk for me from BFE since I have been in James Bond for the last four years. They keep making that walk to Centeroo longer each year. Even when they added the VIP shortcut it was only opened after What opened and closed well before the late nights ended so I think that I've only got to use it maybe twice.

I see what you're saying, but I bet they could have made more money with a doable price.
Im OK with it. For the last several years Ive tried to get an RV with no success. In most cases the big companies like Cruise America wont even rent you one in the Southeast during that week because so many people trashed them in the early years. If you can find one they make you PAY big for it. Not only are the mileage fees jacked up and crazy but the minimum rental time is 7 days or more.

Uhhh - I really don't think this is correct - we have one from Cruise America out of Birmingham - for 6 nights - we had a code for three nights free and are only paying about $800 to pick it up on June 10 and return it on June 17, plus we have 600 miles included in that price

Hmm...not sure where you got that info from. I booked one from Cruise America for 5 days and got their regular rate (actually 25% off for booking before the end of February). Maybe they didn't jack my price up because I'm picking it up in St. Louis, not TN, so they didn't give me an inflated Bonnaroo price???
FYI our class C is costing $800 ($200 each) if anyone here is planning the same.
Woohoo! We got 5 people already and everyone's down for the RV. I'm pumped. Mostly about the refrigerator/freezer and close proximity to centeroo....
You are actually renting one of the onsite ones????
No.....Driving one down from Boston. We just had 2 people and a Mazda last year. None of out ice (we had alot) made in to TN. We won't be as close as the on-site ones, but last year we had to walk a mile before we got to where the farthest RV's were.

I'm not getting one, but if you have 6 people in one of these RVs, the price isn't much different from a VIP ticket (they're within about $100 of each other I think). And considering that you get a/c, a private bathroom and shower that you can actually use the whole time, and a campsite close to centeroo, it's not really a horrible deal.

To be able to sleep in with A/C, take a shower, and be close to centeroo makes it worth it to me. Our group is strongly considering this route. I emailed them to see how big the beds were b/c everyone in my group is over 6 feet tall. I'll let ya know what they say.
For $3200 you should get to choose one option out of the following:
1.) Any performer from Bonnaroo 2009 crashes in your RV for at least one night if not the whole weekend. (This performer has full access to your food and booze)
2.) You get to add 1 mid level act to the lineup (schedule permitting).
3.) You get a 45 minute set on the Sonic Stage early Sun afternoon.
When I think about the $ I spent on unmentionables for a weekend (before sobriety)it doesn't seem that expensive. Too bad I spent all that $ on unmentionables.

I'd be really interested to know what company you went through, how much the costs were, all that fun stuff. I have a group of 4 from NH and we were hoping to do the same, it just seems rediculously expensive!!! PM me if you need!
I was lying in a burned out basement With the full moon in my eyes. I was hoping for replacement When the sun burst thru the sky. There was a band playing in my head And I felt like getting high.
Those onsite campers are priced so high so none of us regular folks will bother Paris Hilton or Lindsey Lohan while they are "slumming" it at our beloved fest.
