One of the selling points for the VIP ticket is a VIP-only concert Thursday night. Last year it was Rebirth Brass Band (but first they had a comic who was fair; the guy's best known for saying "It's a hemi" in truck commercials). RBB was fantastic. The year before was Benevento/Russo Duo. I hear they were great, too, but I arrived too late to see them.
The show's on a small stage set up right outside the main VIP food and drink tent. As you walk out the back, the What Stage is straight ahead. They don't announce who it will be until just before the show.
Yep free beer.... and free AWESOME BEER (as in, even the microbrews are free).
When he says a small stage, he truly means it. The "stage" is nothing more than 6" off the ground- you could still hug a band member. Totally private, totally VIP. Very cool.

Last year I did just that I got too wasted for my own good, and I was walking around in circles trying to find the other tent to see Electric EElShock, I ended up in the artist compound, behind what stage, and walked out still trying to find the other tent, but to no avail, I ended up settling on Toubab Krewe, who I thought was just Awesome. That night I was also called out by Rebirth Brass Band from theVIP stage for gettin down, and they was like he lo0oks like hes having a good time!I think I want some of what hes drinkin.What you drinkin? I yelled MagicHAt! They was like "Magic---Hat?!?!""yall need to go get you some.

The FREE BEER is the best part of the VIP ticket, if there really is free beer on thursday.
Other than that, it seems like the VIP tickets is just a waste money. two tickets for over $1100 is insane and it doesnt even include a RV pass. i mean, if you have the money, go for it.

I think the point being is a VIP concert, hospitality tent (they feed you for free all weekend), discounted beer all weekend, proximity to the main stage and centeroo, A/c bathrooms, showers, bigger camp sites as wellas the free beer on Thursday - seems like a good deal to me.
This is the biggie for me. I'm there for the music, and my 2 years in VIP I've been able to see easily 10x as much music as the one year I went GA. It is sooooooooooo nice to be able to pop in and out of camp to 'resupply' a half-dozen times a day.

One day I will get to go VIP but this year is not the year - I am just glad that we were able to buy tickets of any kind this year! ;D
I know the majority of the time they don't in most places, but I've never heard anything about the hospitality tents. My friend and I are both 18 and look pretty old.

"If there really is..." Yeah. Take it from people who have been.
And the proximity, free food all weekend, clean showers and bathrooms and early access to main stage are all good reasons for me. Shelling out more than $200 for tickets and then walking more than a mile every trip is pretty crazy in my book.

I agree. I pack up in the morning and I'm in Centeroo from noon until I leave the night shows (4am-ish). VIP wouldn't offer much for me due to my schedule and habits (I don't shower at 'Roo, pack all my own grub, port-o-lets don't bother me, etc.). Not to say I would turn down a free VIP upgrade of my early-bird ticket, though.... ;D
Underneath the Which stage is a VIP beer tent. It's great to pop in there, get a cheap beer, free snacks and chill in the shade until the next act. Or the show on the field between acts is pretty entertaining, too! Free beer on Thursday, cheap beer the rest of the week, no place I'd rather be! I skipped the VIP concert last year because I wanted to see The Motet and The Cat Empire.

This has convinced me to go VIP next year. Free microsbrews at a, private low-key show! It can't get much better than that. (In addition to all the other benefits, too.)
