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!!
I hear you can bring beer, but only so many cases per person. Then my friend who has attended roo for the last three years tells me " hide your beer when going in because they will take it from you!" So can you bring beer or not?
I think you're getting some screwy facts. You can bring all the beer you want, but they'll confiscate glass containers if they find them. Hell, I could have gotten a small nation wasted with all the beer I brought in 2004. I believe we had like seven or eight cases -- it was ridiculous and totally unnecessary. As for Centeroo (where all the shows are), like wooz said, you aren't allowed to bring beer into there.

Edit: Joshua, is there really a limit?!
Haha, congrats aquarium. You get the award for making me laugh out loud twice while reading a post.
We too had more than enough beer. I really wouldn't worry about the alcohol situation....How much beer were you planning on bringing anyway?
Aquarium, there is a limit. I got the beer right but when I looked again I was wrong about the liquor.
"A MAXIMUM of 3 cases of beer and two 1.75 liters of hard liquor per person. Please note that any beer or alcohol over this limit will be confiscated immediately"
I read elsewhere that this alcohol limit is new for this year. People are speculating that they are trying to shut down the make-shift bars in the camp areas. If you need more than 3 cases, I am sure you can fudge the amount.
The limit is new this year - but when you think about it - that is alot of beer - at least to me it is - but they also do not specify what they consider a case

Err... unless you're in VIP. Nobody cares what you bring. I brought a backpack full of Heiney to Mike Doughty. I've strolled through with beers in my hand. They just don't care in VIP.
Rooskew, anticipation of that lax beer attitude is one of the things that sold me on VIP.
I was so freaked out by this. I was like a Pink Panther cartoon--- I'd do it once, look obviously shifty, then do it again just to see if it worked again. By the end we were talking and laughing out loud near the "guard" people about it. I kept waiting to suddenly be clamped down, but it never happened.

cause you already paid your cash. they have to get us mere mortals' money one way or another.
I really doubt they'd discriminate against the ol' 30pack. Most people are going to bring mass quantities of canned beer.. which is most commonly found in 30s
can't imagine they are going to be that particular about the alcohol, like others have said the new limits are just to cut down on the unauthorized vending, if it's just two people bringing in 20 cases you might have a problem now, otherwise i wouldn't worry about it.
consider it more of a guideline - fact it should be a rule: each person MUST bring 3 cases and 2 handles
(i just have to figure out how to get it all on the plane now)

Yeah, are you really gonna need that much for one person? We had like eight cases last year, and between two and a half people we finished them early on Sunday, but I can't imagine drinking three cases of beer and two handles of liquor by myself over the entire weekend.

Do you have pictures of what a "half" person looks like? That could be freaky.

While they don't let you bring the glass in with you, the folks searching the cars are pretty cool about it. If you have a six-pack of an old fave when you are in line, they will let you open them, pour the beer into a cup or plastic bottle and drink it that way (provided you aren't the driver...until you get inside), especially if you offer them one.

I somehow doubt that they will severely crack down on this. Worst comes to worst, just fill up some extra 2 liter soda bottles with your poison of choice. Now it's story time. Grab your sour patch kids and sit around the Bonnfire.
We had this same genius idea last year. Protip: make sure you label the damn bottles! Come Saturday evening our water supply was running really thin. Upon waking in dire need of some kind of fluid, I stuck my hand in the cooler and grabbed the first bottle I felt. Then proceeded to chug a poland spring bottle full of Gin. Thats a rude awakening. Later in the evening one of my friends who came a little less than prepared asked me for some water. Feeling a bit sinister, I decided to hand him another one of the gin filled bottles. Hilarity ensued.
In retrospect, no big deal being piss drunk at 11am. It's f*cking Bonnaroo.
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!
