Just to clear any confusion about the Golden Tickets - I emailed Bonnaroo and asked if the winners would be notifiied prior to tickets being shipped out.
This is the response I got:
Hi there,
Thanks for your interest in Bonnaroo! You will know that you have the golden ticket when you open the envelope at your house. Winners will not be notified prior to receiving the tickets.

I know that Florida and North Carolina aren't elgible, there's a few others that I think aren't eligible (Rhode Island, other various northeastern states). I am so friggin excited to get my tickets. I'm hoping to have them in my hands by Friday!

Are there multiple golden tickets being sent out? I can't even remember... I feel as though if I opened up my envelope and saw a golden ticket I might have a heart attack and all the goodness would go to waste. Either way, it's a risk I'm willing to take.

I didn't win, but my heart skipped a beat when I opened my package... the tix have a reflective quality and the light made them look golden for a sec when I pulled them out of the package.
I didnt even remeber about the golden ticket at first, I was just so excited to see the ticket but after a second I rellaized it wasn't golden...then went back to being happy that I had my ticket.
It seems like since inforoo has grown so much though one of us might get it. let's go inforoo!
maybe they just won't give them to anyone and just did it to promote sales?...hopefully....because I didn't get one. I wanna know who did though....they are probably still screaming....
I thnk it has to do with having to purchase a bond to run this type of contest in these states or some such legal requirement that most companies don't want the hassle of dealing with.
Here are the complete rules as listed on the Bonnaroo website:
