I've read through the FAQ threads and such, and I have some questions.
1. Do tickets sell out? I have a job but am waiting for some funds before I can make the purchase. 2. Let's say I were underage and wanted to bring in alcohol. Would I experience any issues with this? (If this kind of talk isn't allowed, I am very sorry and will delete it immediately.) 3. How much room do you usually get in the park and camp area? 4. What is the coolest (legal) thing you have seen vended?

1. Tickets don't generally sell out, you should be fine waiting awhile. 2. It depends on who you get at the gate when your car comes in. You could be the unlucky one who gets their car searched top to bottom and get it confiscated (I don't think they'd kick you out, they'd probably just take your beer) or you could get lucky and get barely a look through. 3. You should get a good amount of space, just for reference I had space to set up my three person tent, a big canopy, obviously room for my car, and a little more. You shouldn't have a problem with space basically. 4. Legal thing? The pesto mozzadillas, they're delicous.
For number 2: I'm talking non-glass beverages. Most likely just a few cases of canned beer. The stricter guards actually check ID and are allowed to confiscate?
I guess if that were the case, a fellow roo'er could help me out.

I don't think volunteer security would care (they certainly didn't when I went at 19 and 20). However, local or state police might not be as forgiving. In TN, if you are a minor caught in possession of alcohol, the most severe penalty can be forfeiture of your driver's license for one year. This is the most severe, but to get out of it can cost a good bit of change.
That being said, you'll probably be okay, but just be aware of the consequences of you are caught.
About size of camping: I'd plan for about 15x15 per car. I've had as little as 10x10 ('03) and as much as 30x100 ('07) but both are extreme and unlikely. Plan for 10x10 canopy (shade is a must) and a tent and you'll be about right.
Here's a pic of last year camp size which is about average. The tent is not mine (I have no tent) and the clear space near the camera is because people left early (This was taken Sunday evening. There were tents all along this side most all of the weekend so close you couldn't walk on the near side of my camp). My space is the 2 canopies only.
