I won my tickets on the radio, and they just came in the mail. The first thing I noticed is that they're not the same color scheme as the tickets in the video with the guy in a gorilla outfit making it in to a little sculpture.
They're green all the way, and though they say "General Admission", they have the word "COMP" in big bold letters on them in a few different places. I'm wondering if these tickets are somehow different? Or if "COMP" just means Complimentary.
Any clues?

They're different in that they were free! Congrats!
And yeah, I would guess comp is short for complimentary
I wouldn't mind a picture of 'em either, by the way!
There you go, I added it to the top post.
And thanks, I'm totally psyched. One of my best friends just moved to Lebanon to relocate his business to Murfreesboro a few months ago, so this couldn't be better timing. He has all the camping equipment and an SUV, so we're good to go. If he didn't live there, I'm not sure I'd be able to go because of all the extra expenses.

damn...but that makes me wonder if the reason for the high ticket numbers was that complimentary tickets were given out before tickets went on sale, and they just gave them the higher numbers because they were already a definite giveaway? i dont know all i know is i expected alot of people to buy tickets this year, but not 86000
they probably start the comp ticket numbers at like 85,000 or something. The first number for comped tickets would most likely be higher than the number of total tickets for sale.
There's no way the number is in the 86,000's. I went last year and plan to go this year as media and my tix are also comped. I just glanced at last year's comp ticket and it's number 93,292... and there was definitely no where near 93,000 people there last year.
As media huh? Do Comp tickets get you standard parking? I'm assuming so... but I'm just wondering if there's ANY benefit other than them being FREE General Admission tix.
I'm not taking them for granted by any means, but I'm curious.
Got my FREE tickets in the mail today from Superfly (volunteer street teamer). They are the same layout and color scheme as ahkh's, and the number is 84416.

Comp tix are just the same as any normal ticket. You camp just the same as everyone else. My tickets are picked up elsewhere on Thursday, not mailed to me. The only perk as Media is an extra Media wristband along with the normal one. The Media one gets you to an area with wireless access, band press area, and some food. Last year, it was unnecessary for the most part.
That's what I figured. That's cool with me, I don't give a damn, I'm going to Bonnaroo!! Thanks for all the responses folks.

They are not giving out comps festival bracelets this year. Instead media gets only a single media wristband. Which means we don't get the cool different colored comp tickets anymore.
