One of my buddies got his ID taken due to the fact that he was originally born in Puerto Rico. Apparently the government claims a high volume of identity theft has happened to people from this area; therefore when he went to renew his license it was taken away from him until further notice. My question is do you actually need your ID for Bonnaroo? Please let me know because I am going to buy his ticket but I do not want to buy it if it is for no reason. Peace.
he could get by pretty fine with out it. Be an issue trying to get beer or smokes, but someone else could easily buy them and hand them off. Definitely don't see it being a huge problem.

Thanks so much for the information! ^^

Update: OK so my buddy in question (and coworker) was a bit low on funds...so I did the right thing and helped him out and we got the ticket ordered today! The coolest part about it is although he is an avid fan of music.....he has yet to see any live acts. EVER! So Bonnaroo will be his first show. I just thought I would share that tidbit of Karma.

If he needs drinks inside of Centeroo, they aren't sticklers about IDs. I wasn't carded several times last year, and I look kind of young for 24. Of course, you can always just buy his beer for him. IDK where you guys are coming from, but if you ran into the law at some point on your way, he may want to have some kind of ID on him just in case. Does he have a Social Security Card, Birth Certificate, student ID, etc.?

Got pulled over in a car a few weeks ago and I was in the passanger side and the state trooper here in Ky. informed me that if you are over 18, it is against the law not to have I.D. on you when out in public. I left my wallet on the kitchen table and such and he hassled me about it.

Not having any form of ID can definitely present some problems if you encounter law enforcement at any point, Bonnaroo or not. I believe you can legally be detained even if you haven't done anything wrong besides not presenting ID if asked.
Having something with his name and information, also preferably a photo, may save some headache if you encounter some sort of situation.

Yeah those are all certainly good points. I will just have him bring a few points of ID. Its kind of funny though...the ones that demand that you have an ID took it away from him. (well the DMV not the police persay) We are heading down from Clarksville. So if there is a more low profile route I would appreciate that information as well.

I would love to have the time to challenge a cop to show me in the KY State code where this is. I have heard this before from a cop when I was a passenger in a car without my ID but I can't find it any KY State codes.
From what I understand the only thing that you have to tell the police (if you are a passenger in a car) is your name since you do have the right to remain silent. I just don't want to be taken to jail over something so trivial.
