Last year, the VIP shirt was the same as the official Bonnaroo shirt you can purchase at the merchandise tent in Centeroo. Grey, Logo on front, Bands on back.
What I don't get is......why don't they sell 2007 T-shirts online? They could make tons of money, as I'm sure many of us Roo-obsessed fans would like to wear our shirts BEFORE the event takes place. Also, it doubles as a nice advertisement for the organizers.
Obviously, these guys need a lesson in capitalism! Maybe I'll apply for a position there, and staighten things out.....

Last year they had a pre-shirt but I guess it didn't sell well.

It's much more important to process it and personalize it. To apply it to your world, to your life. You have to walk the walk, or you can't really report about it honestly."

So....do they send these e-mails out to everyone who purchased VIP tickets? I can't check my e-mail at work, there's some blocker that prevents web mail usage.
We treat mishaps like sinking ships and I know that I don't want to be out to drift Well I can see it in your eyes like I taste your lips and They both tell me that we're better than this
I emailed Bonnaroo about this^ and never got a response.... I want an 07 shirt as well, and since i didnt get one at purchasing time it seems as if I no longer have the choice of getting one.
Funny thing I put last years' free VIP logo shirt on today and then ended up getting this email today.
The survey is really meaningless for us. We still have to tell them the sizes when we get there. They just want to know how many of which sizes to have. So don't worry about it if i you didn't get the email yet, you'll still get a shirt!! (probably the standard logo front with artists on back like last year)

FYI - they run small (at least the women's)
How small are we talking? should i just order a men's shirt insted of a women's shirt to be safe?

thank you so much for that info, i was hesitant to order because i wasn't sure what TYPE of shirts they were, and that has everything to do with what size to order! large it is! i hate constricting thick t-shirts and i wanna wear my new shirt with pride AND comfort
I requested and received a large women's last year from VIP. I never wore it during the fest and washed it when I got home. It will now fit a four-year-old child. I never got a chance to wear it. This year I ordered an x-large and hope that they don't order the same brand (Royal Apparel) of t-shirt so I can actually wear it. Normally I would consider myself a "small" since I wear a size 4, but these t-shirts are shrinkers.

does anyone know if the guys shirts shrink a lot too?

I don't know if mine shrank any, but it was small to start with for sure. I got an xl and it fits like a large. I think my wife ordered the woman's medium and hasn't worn it because it too was really small. I haven't decided what size to order this year, you think they probably would correct a problem like that but it's a crap shoot. Maybe I'll try it on at check in to be sure this time.

I just checked mine. A large women's and I rarely wear it because it is so small ( I am a size 6). I'm thinking about going for the men's small this year. My husband has a large, and it fits him fine. He normally wears a medium.
I think everything I have ever bought at Roo (4 years now for me) from the offical merchandise place has run pretty small. Keep that in mind when shelling out $25 for a tank top. They shrink.

ok i emailed them asking if they knew what brand of shirts they were using! and here's the answer:
Thanks for your interest in Bonnaroo! The companies used on the T-shirts are AnvilOrganic (larger sizes), Rabbit Skins (child's sizes), and American Apparel (regular sizes).
apparently they're using the same brand of shirts they sold on their website/merch tent (dunno why they didn't also use them for VIP last year, strange!)
Maybe I'll apply for a position there, and staighten things out.....
