Can I leave the premises? When can I leave? Can I exit/leave VIP everyday? How many times can you leave/exit? Is there a special enterance for day campers? How far away is that? What is the distance from VIP?

Thanks,

Um.....I'm not sure why you would pay that much for VIP and stay in a hotel room. The best perk of VIP is camping closer than everyone else (plus the showers and good porto-potties).
To answer your questions:
Can I leave the premises? Yes
When can I leave? Any time you want
Can I exit/leave VIP everyday? Yes. You will have an arm bracelet I believe that will get you into VIP camping area.
How many times can you leave/exit? However many times you want.
Is there a special enterance for day campers? Well, there's only 2 entrances I believe, but there is a special parking lot just for day parking. You should be able to enter Bushy Branch (exit 111 I think) and get to day parking.
How far away is that? It's about a 15 minute walk or so from Centeroo.
Someone wise correct me if I'm wrong, but I think there's a shuttle too if you're staying at a roo-package hotel... So you may not have to drive at all. No idea how reliable/frequent it is though.
And I agree with the above on the VIP/hotel thing. If you're really sold on the hotel, then sell your VIP tickets, get gen admin tickets, buy all the food you want and you'll still come up with more $ than if you had kept the VIP tix. Cause at this point the only real benefits you're getting out of VIP are the food and the bleachers (which few people use).

Did anybody notice this in the info for VIP:
Guard your tickets carefully - just like cash! There will be ABSOLUTELY NO REISSUES for lost or stolen tickets! These tickets are like your children, except they won't ask you to put them through college. Please visit the website regularly for updated information about the 2007 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival. Please visit your dentist regularly for updated information about your incisors. The ticket will be a specially designed souvenir ticket unique to the 2007 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival. Incidentally, your ticket will also make you more popular with the opposite sex and appear seven years younger. You will be notified via email as to precisely when the tickets will be shipped.
All RVs will be parked in specifically designated, RV-only areas on the festival grounds. If you own an aircraft carrier, feel free to park it anywhere you can find a space. Just don't double park in a “no parking” zone - those things are impossible for us to tow.
How bout this one - LOOL - now I have to go read all that stuff - good thing I am bored

^ ^that's great... I hadn't noticed that. We did VIP for the last three years, but this year we're back in gen pop. Maybe I didn't read it b/c I'm jealous!

Having worked in "shuttles" last year (and in three more weeks), unless your hotel is actually driving you to the site, and I have never heard of that, the shuttles are for staff and performers only. Maybe things have changed for this year. Just keep checking on it.
During the festival, getting in and out of day parking is painless. There is no limit on the amount of times you may come and go, just keep your bracelet on.
If you walk out of Grolsch road to go to Wal-Mart or whatever, they will not let you walk back in on that road. They will allow you to leave but will not let you walk back in due to it being a staff/vendor access road You will have to go back around to Bushy Branch or KOA. KOA will only let you in with one of their passes and possibly VIP passes.
Once again, the day parking/Bushy Branch road is super easy to use once everyone is settled in by Saturday A.M.
Oh, I just checked. Shuttle won't drive you around during festival but will get you back to the airport (if you bought a package) and will pick you up at airport 24 hours a day

VIP/hotel packages have a shuttle for them too (at least the last couple of years had one). Getting a hotel package by itself means no shuttle.
I agree with Bob....Day parking is DaShit!!! It is soooo easy to get in and out of (This is after the mass ingress to begin the festival)
I think the only shuttle service that is provided (that I am aware of) is if you are staying at the KOA campgrounds, they have limo service 24/7, just for thier campers though....
I agree with the other that VIP seems to be a waste of $$$ if you are not using the VIP camping area. Why not just get GA tickets if you are leaving every day?

Not having to drive at all, along with the food and drink deals, plus the separate entrance for quick in/out. It's for the VIP-money crowd who doesn't like to camp.
I wanted to get a place with ac and shelter. My friend wanted VIP. Something about waking up in a pile of sweat is just not appealing to me. What is appealing is not having to worry about food/drinks/shelter during all of the shows completly worth the price imo.

I am so glad to hear this. I have been second guessing my decision to drive in every day and day park (we won't be going until noon on Friday) I have been seriously thinking about putting the dogs in a kennel (I am trying to avoid that expense) and just camping ( I hate camping and have no big strong guy with me to put up a tent ). I think I will stick with my decision and drive the hour each way every day.
