I have a friend who did it. I'm not sure of the details, but he's been doing it for the past few years now. They sent him a press packet with a lot of posters of the lineup to post around town. He got a comp ticket for it. Pretty sweet deal.
thanks man. i hope i get chosen to get on it. i have my ticket but there are friends of mine that would love to go, but just cant afford it. karma for the responce.
I did it a couple of years ago, you get a package with posters and handouts. Then (at the time) you were asked to "recruit" a number of people on my space. Take pictures and document all what you are doing to spread the word about Bonnaroo. Then after all of that they decide if you get a ticket.
I was doing it for a while but since I was going VIP they were not going to give me any $$ of the tickets.
so you post posters around the neighbourhood and get a ticket for free? Woow.
LOL! No..it isn't quite that easy I'm sure...
I am on several "street teams" for different artists...and how active I am varies depending on how much time I have and how active the artists PR companies are And how many incentives they are willing to give ;D
Basically the idea is that the PR peeps send you various marketing materials to post around your area (handouts, posters to place around your town....screen banners, et al to post on your myspace, facebook and get your friends to put on theirs etc.)...it's a grass roots PR/publicity campaign that they don't have to pay for the word of mouth advertising except for the actual materials.....BUT you have to document everything you do and send them proof of WHAT you are doing and HOW MUCH you are doing so that they can measure it to see if it's worth doing in your area again (i.e. so they can try to translate it to ticket sales in your area for the year....) THEN they will decide if you get a comp ticket for your troubles. There is a certain threshold of work you have to do to merit a ticket I'm sure.....still a good gig if you can get. I'm sure they limit the # of street team workers in each area to a certain number and it sounds like they prefer peeps who have some PR or previous street team experience....

Yeah, thanks for the tip. I applied and would love to get the word out. I've already bought my ticket, but I just want to let everyone know about Bonnaroo. I suspect most of us are already part of the unofficial Bonnaroo street team and tell everyone we meet about it anyway.
I sent them an email about a week ago, but haven't heard back. I already have a ticket. Just lookin' to help spread the word also. Probably already full though.
And how many incentives they are willing to give ;D
