I don't understand it. roo was offering these to "save the environment" but they wanna charge you an arm and a leg for 'em and here's a newsflash- ONLY FACTORY SEALED WATER BOTTLES ARE ALLOWED IN CENTEROO!!
empty bottles are allowed in centeroo and thats where the filter water was going to be... i ordered one and didn't get any thing with my tickets... so i don't know how they are going to do this? i thought they would mail a ticket to pick it up there... i still hope it all works out before roo.
if the DVDs are any indication, it'll arrive in the mail with the purchase of your Bonnaroo 2010 ticket
first of all, that's fucking funny and true.
and what about this...
"At Bonnaroo, in addition to our usual free high quality well water (similar to tap), we'll have free filtered drinking water stations at various locations where you will be able to fill up your Bonnaroo water bottle for use throughout the festival. You can buy your own Bonnaroo water bottle when you purchase tickets to the festival, and to make it easy, all water bottles will be picked up when you get there. We encourage you to purchase one of these super cool limited edition Bonnaroo water bottles and become part of the solution to reduce waste, and help bring safe drinking water to those in need. Reduce, reuse, recycle, and educate."

this also gives an answer as to where your bottles are...

No my understanding it is for the Aluminum official bottles only, I got one I spend at least 20 bucks on water in centeroo over the course of the weekend.

A month or so ago I remember that somebody emailed them asking about this, and the response they got back was that you would be allowed to use any bottle you want, whether it's the official one or not. I don't remember which thread that was in.
I knew as I was doing it that it probably wasn't the best idea I've ever had, but I went ahead with it anyways, hoping for a cool souvenir. They better not screw me on this.
so the filtered water is for the official bottles only... ....assuming they exist?
I hope that's not the case. It'll create a sense of class superiority. Like the speed pass things at theme parks. Pay extra and you don't have to wait in as long of a line like those peasants! At Bonnaroo, pay for a bottle and you won't have to drink the plain ol' well water like those peasants!
And in a practical sense are they really going to have water security?
"Um, excuse me, sir? Is that bottle authorized to be filled at this location? I believe you need to relocate and fill your peasant bottle over there at the peasant faucet. This water is only for patrons who have purchased an authorized, official Bonnaroo water bottle."

The expensive water bottles may be their way of recouping the cost of the fresh water. I assume they've had water lines run onto the property and that's not cheap.

*slaps plastic water bottle out of peasant's hand to the ground*
pretty sure you pick it up there, but as of yet i wonder how they will be able to tell who paid for one or not. it can' be on the honor system.
we didn't get them, three would have cost us $60. We had one and bought two more here, with the frozen icy stick thing in the middle. $10 @ target. So we spent $20 and have three instead of $60 for all of us.

I've always brought in an empty bottle and filled it with the normal well water. It'd be nice to have something more durable, but at $20 it'd be one more thing to worry about losing. Last year I lost my brand new camelback the first day. I suppose if everyone ever gets them, they'll check to make sure they're empty going in. And I thought the lines were slow last year. Hopefully they'll still let volunteers in through the out gates.

i bought one (custie got scammed oh noes) no but really i dont own a waterbottle and figure a roo one would be cool. anyways if they dont let you fill your other kind of water bottle there just find me and ill keep filling mine and dumping into yours ;D
"While fresh filtered drinking water is free to anyone, and not dependent on purchasing our bottle, you’ll want to get yours because long after the festival is over you’ll still be able to do your part to make a difference. Having a lifetime guarantee and made with 100% stainless steel you can savor the memory of Bonnaroo with every sustainable sip you take. "
I bought one of these because I don't have one and I thought it woudl be a cool thing to own... I don't know, somehow I feel like it'll work out yet. That said, if anybody who bought one DOES get an email, post here, eh? I'd love to hear about it.

I would assume that when they scan your tickets barcode it shows who purchased the ticket and what was paid for i.e the water bottle and you will be able to pick it up at the gate you arrived at.

I would not say so --
i.e. I bought my water bottle later on, months after my girlfriend bought the tix, so the bottle is in my name, not hers.
Good theory but unfortunately not true -- where the hell are the bottles!!!!!!!!
It says something on the small Music Today envelope the tickets came in. It says "water upsell". I'm planning on taking the envelope with me just in case.
