Not so thorough on the search....... Very thorough on the ticket check. We have a friend who said he'll be coming without a ticket. Despite the fact that it's fairly easy to get scalped tics outside, it's still too risky.
I wouldn't be able to leave my friend wandering Tenn while I enjoyed myself. So as it stands, anyone who steps foot in our RV must have a ticket. I'd suggest you do the same.
I was born in the back seat of a Yellow Cab in a hospital loading zone and with the meter still running. I emerged needing a shave and shouted 'Time Square, and step on it!
Tickets are easy to get. This is the first year I've bought from the official B-roo site. I usually get my ticket one of 3 ways; from someone on a board like this; while in traffic; or I have had friends drop me off outside and walk the traffic 'til I find one (usually within 15 minutes). We set a meetup place and time to meet inside.
It is kind of a hassle but no biggie. I was afraid this year it would be more difficult and more expensive and so I bought the official way. Also more counterfeits.
Good Luck!

they dont check too thoroughly... but the DEA is at the entrance and they pick cars at random and do extensive searches through everything with dogs.
be careful!!
they fine in the 1000's in Tennessee
I've never seen or heard about any of that. I know the local and state po are in force throughout the surrounding area, but no DEA agents with a group of angry hounds waiting to find your goodies at the entrance. I also can't recall ever hearing about a large number of arrests at bonnaroo.

I think I saw the DEA with dogs in 05, I am not 100 percent certain though, it may have just been cops, they probably have one set of dogs for all of the entrances.
I WAS one of the random cars they searched last year and the DEA DID happen to find something that one of my buddies should not have had. The illegals were confiscated and we went on our way somehow by the grace of god I would have to believe. When you are selected as one of those random cars they dont hold back searching. Everything is stripped and searched. Including your person. This was off the I-24 exit. Wait to party until you get into roo! Be safe Roo 07!!

The only thing the dude did to our car last year was open up the back trunk, open up the cooler. Close the trunk, and said...."Alrighty, good to go!" So it was a fairly harmless process. Being in VIP this year, I hope the searches are about the same or even less.
^^ we were searched a little more then that - they had us get out - and looked through the car with flashlights - but we did not have to pull anything out
All that happened with us last year, we pulled up, showed our tickets, we all got out, they looked in the glove compartment and in the center console, opened the trunk, opened the cooler, let us go.
So a tip, IF you bring something (not wise, cuz you'll be able to find it there, more than likely) put it in a suitcase or a box of Cheez Its.
hey sawgrass. do you know what exit that was and what time did you arrive? I think searching your car would make the line take forever! in the morning.

it was the entrance right off of I 24, like literaly right off the highway. I got there around 5pm thursday. What they did was as the cars pulled into the gate and headed to the dozen or so stalls they had set up to check your ticket and stuff, there were dea agents there randomly selecting (pointing at) cars telling them to pull over in area that was out of the way of the main flow of traffic into the stalls. It was like halfway from where you actually enter from off the highway to the stalls. They just point at you and you have to pull over, I had like 5 other cars with us and all they did was go through the ticket check and wristband stalls and wait on the other side for us. The agents found what they were looking for and we (by the grace of god) went on our way. Be careful and tediious. I do not recall seeing dogs though. Just a very good search, center console, glove box, pockets in doors, everyones pockets in car, backpacks, they got us pretty good. Heads up folks.

ok, one of my friends who is going will not have a ticket, however we're taking a pickup with a cap on the back and the coolers will be near the tailgate while she will be rolled up in a sleeping bag opposite the tailgate side. my question i guess is since you need a wristband to get into centeroo they make no exceptions for say a "lost" wristband? also there will be tons of stuff and i highly doubt they will dig all the way to the back through grills and all the other stuff. any thoughts or will they not let any of us in if she is found?
HEADED TO BONNAROO!!!!
