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!!
You can buy shirts off of bonnaroo.com, but I'm guessing you're asking about being at the festival. There's a large merch booth selling 'Roo shirts and some other stuff too, but they do not take cards. However there are ATMs inside Centeroo so you can get your cash.
There are a couple of Merch stands in Centeroo....and if you see something you want I would advise getting it EARLY...they DO sell out and they WON'T restock...online or otherwise.....by Sat they will begin selling out of the most popular stuff...
And the big stand that I have gone to the last couple of years most definitely DID take credit/debit cards.....so....don't know if they plan to change that this year or not but I doubt it....at $35-50 a shirt....I don't know HOW they COULDN'T! LOL!

I'd suggest going to the merch tent early if you want to get a shirt there. Go Thursday if it's open that early, or early Friday if not. By Saturday or Sunday the shirts have been pretty thoroughly picked over and most of the good stuff is gone.
Dude, I seriously can't concentrate on anything but bonnaroo right now. . .It's to the point where I'm poking myself in the eye with foreign objects. . . I think I just need to be sedated until Tuesday. . . . Dystopian Dream
If you bought a VIP ticket you will receive a Bonnaroo t-shirt at the festival during the VIP orientation thing, unless they changed the VIP package from last year.

Yeah.....but it's the really plain one...just the standard Bonnaroo logo....some of them have the bands listed and some don't...I mean it's SOMETHING....but last year...I ended up giving my VIP shirt to my best friend who didn't get to go...it was yellow (NOT my color) and I wanted a MetalliRoo shirt cause I KNEW that would be THE shirt of the year.....

Yeah, last year there was one super cool roo shirt thhat I wanted, and I decided to wait until Saturday night to buy it for some reason, but by then they only had it in xxsmall or something ridiculous like that. They never had it on sale on the online store after Roo either.
Correct me if I'm wrong 'cause I don't usually buy tees there but I think that they swap out band tees throughout the weekend. The only tees that are there consistently are the Roo's and maybe the headliners?

Agreed, the MetalliRoo shirt looks awesome. I'm so glad I went ahead and bought one before they sold out.

Granted, I haven't been since 2004 but I bought a shirt in the campgrounds. It was a tye die with all of the bands listed on the back. I still wear it and you can still read it. Most bootleg t shirts are poorly made, but this one has lasted. Best of all, the guy wanted $30 but I offered him $15 and he took it. There is no way that I'd pay $35-50 for a t shirt.

I didn't see those until Friday afternoon... I was like "DAMN! Where can I get one?!?!?"

I was not aware of this, but karma for the knowledge, even if I couldn't stand the MetalliRoo t-shirts!
I seem to be the opposite of most people here. I always wait until Sunday to buy because stuff is soooo cheap by then. Maybe this does not apply to official Roo merchandise though.
Of course I've been to almost every Roo and only bought my 1st t-shirt last year, a nice quality bootleg. But I do get my wife a nice shirt or dress or something every year for about $5 on Sunday, though.

You should have gotten the XXsmall I'm sure it would have looked great

That sounds about right. If you're looking in the Centeroo merch tent, buy early. Anywhere else and you're usually better off waiting until Clearance Sunday.

They do to take card, I payed last year with a card.
Merch tent is my first stop every morning. I have a band tee addiction and Bonnaroo just fuels it. I haven't left 'roo with less than 7 or 8 shirts once.

I got a bootleg shirt for $8.00 and another for $13.00. Be sure to iron them really well when you get them home so the ink doesn't fade as bad.
I'd like to kick someone in the nuts who was trying to sell me a T-Shirt for $35.00. That's just obcene!
I wore my bootleg to the Bonnaroo T-shirt stand to buy an overpriced Metallica shirt for my daughter and the lady looked at me like I smelled of dogsh!t.
Screw those greedy b@stards, BUY BOOTLEG!
If they would charge a fair price I would be happy to buy their stuff.
Stay away from the Merch stands and buy the bootleg sh*t. More character and a LOT!!!!! cheaper.
if by cheaper you mean price AND in terms of quality yea....i agree.
every year there are some sweet bootleg shirts and i always end up waiting too long and buying one that turns out to be a bad choice.
my first year my shirt had the lineup that read "disco bisquits" and "les cleypool". I still wear it........but the misspellings stand out to me lol. maybe i'll be a quality shirt this year......dunno.
^ The misspelling add to the character I spoke of earlier. Yours will be the ONLY shirt with misspellings. Plus, I don't think correct spelling is worth the $20 or so upcharge for the "official" merch.
