Sorry if there is a thread about this already but I couldn't find it anywhere. I am planing on brining a case or two with my to the Roo. I know about the glass rule and am planing on buying canned beer. My question is do you volunteer car checkers ask to see you I.D. or anything if you have alcohol in the car. I will be with two guys and myself who are all 20 years old and I don't want to start the weekend off on a bad note.

this may sound bad but it was a car full of 16, 17 year olds... and ALOT of it, no card, after going to bonnaroo it sounds like a silly question... it's way laid back man, not much to worry about, just don't be dumb
I haven't heard of anyone being carded for alcohol on the way in. I'm under the impression that they are only looking for 'contraband', glass, weapons, specifically prohibited items - even the troopers searching cars. I had an open beer in the center console of our car (next to the driver) and the troopers didn't say a thing.
If you dont have a 21+ person it is pretty rough. I don't know what they do to out of staters but in state it is a big fine, and has a one year mandatory license suspension. Not sure if another state would honor it though. Just keep it covered up until you get there and you will be fine.

The only thing I will caution is that I have heard some folks say that their vehicle was searched by troopers instead of volunteers at entry -- that could spell trouble.
My first Roo in 05 I wasn't old enough to drink. However, my boyfriend was and he bought the drinks for me inside Centeroo. No one ever asked any questions. Just don't be stupid or obvious about it, and you should be fine.
I would be more concerned about how old they look when asking whether or not someone got carded! I'm 26 and repeatedly get carded (not at bonnaroo) and told I don't look oler than 17.

yeah ive never been carded there either. first year i went i was 19, and i just strolled up and asked for a beer, and they served me, no questions for an ID or anything. pretty damn sweet.

when I went in 07 I was 19. Never got carded once. Once, on Sun. night during WSP I went to get a beer and the guy goes, "are you 21?" and I said "Yep." No problems whatsoever. Oh yeah I look super young too. Now I'm 21, and I still look 15.
dea, pulls one or two cars out of about every 250 or so upon entry... if you have illegal substances, then you are screwed.... have someone get out of the car and walk in before you get to the gate, if need be...
