Hello! lurker here, LOVE this site!! I've pretty much spent the entire weekend here, reading everything I can about 'roo. I am still waiting on a check this week to buy tickets, which stinks!!! anyone know or have an idea how long it takes for tickets to sell out?? or get rather expensive? I found one stupid thread online where the guy said the only tickets left were $1,500..I almost had a panic attack..
I noticed ALOT of people online are not happy about the line-up. Personally I am thrilled with it and once The Avett bros announced, I was determined on going..
btw I am from Ontario, Canada and have never gone to a music fest before, so I am super excited ...any other Canadians here going??

It didn't sell out the last two years and I doubt it will sell out this year either. Tickets went on sale a week ago and they still have third tier tickets. Not a good sign for Roo ticket sales this year.

If anything, you are more likely to get bargains on tickets closer to June. People can't go for different reasons and just need to get their money back. Some people who bought early bird tickets are getting rid of them because of the line-up also so keep a look out I am pretty sure it will not even close to sell out this year.

I bought tix at face last year, then picked up (in East TN) tix for friends in Memphis. Got them all for less than $200. Prolly gonna do that for myself this year...
Thanks for all the responses guys ..yea I am definitely gonna make it down. I was just down south last Oct so I have a pretty good idea of how long it will take. I've been to day festivals but never weekend ones and I have to say, after reading everything I've read, I am practically obsessed with Bonnaroo...haha..can't wait!
My only disappointment is that MMJ isn't playing this year ...oh well...
As I've said previously, I bought tickets on Craigslist for $150 and $175 the past 2 years. There is ZERO chance tickets will sell out this year. Take your time - tickets aren't going anywhere. I'm debating rolling into Manchester w/o a ticket this year and seeing if I can get one for $75. That may be a tad bit too risky, though.
i dont think it'll sell out. (hope not anyway)we didn't buy til march last year and probably wont buy until then or later this year. the ticket prices dont keep going up and up. there's a cap.
Question about buying tix from individuals- The sight says tix will start shipping May 26, that's awefully close to the event. So if folks are selling their tix before then, they don't have tickets in hand to sell. So how do you get these deals without getting burned? Or do you really wait 'til a week before Roo to get your tickets??? Thanks for the feedback. A

You avoid getting burned by not buying from someone with a new ebay account and no feedback. You have to be able to trust the person to send the tickets whether they have them in hand at the time you buy them or not.
I bought my ticket on eBay the first three years, before volunteering for the first time last year. I always waited until the week before Roo. The tickets get cheaper then. The only problem I had was in '08, when I had them shipped "two day delivery" UPS. They were shipped in time to get to me Wednesday before Roo. However, UPS took three days to deliver them, causing me to miss Thursday that year. So just make sure to allow an extra couple of days for them to get to you, just in case things don't do right, and everything should be fine.
hey lady - my posse also travels down from ontario, this will be my fourth year. bonnaroo will blow you away!!! where abouts in ontario??
Nice!..I am from Kingston...where abouts are you? oh I see London ...I know, I am sooooooooooooo excited!!! haha
When do you normally leave? how long does it usually take you?..we just traveled through Tennessee back in October, so we have a rough idea....I just want to make sure we are there early enough, so we hopefully avoid waiting 8 hours to get in..We figured we leave on Wed 5 am and just keep going until we get tired enough, sleep at a rest area, then continue on.....
You can buy tix on craigslist right before the event for fairly cheap. I bought mine in line the first 3 years (just hop out while in the traffic jam and walk the line asking) and never paid more than $100 (usually $50-$75) but tix were cheaper then and counterfeiting was not a problem. Not sure about counterfeiting now.
I just buy tier one now as I have bit more money and just avoid the hassle.
and once The Avett bros announced, I was determined on going..
...oh well...
