Has anyone got any details on what the deal is with the Chase Freedom tent? I have time to get a card if it's worth it but I can't find details on the site.
Here's what I want to know What's going to be in the tent? Do you have to pay points to go in? Is there air conditioning? (I'll usually sell my soul for some air conditioning by the end of the weekend)
I grew up worshipping Rock and Roll like a religion. I know its shortcomings and strengths but have loved it unconditionally all the same since I was eight-years old. I ran away and joined the circus and honestly, I'm still as obsessed as I was as a boy. I'm not a kid anymore but I still remember how it felt and it doesn't really feel all that different to me now.

You won't hear me complain alot about coperate sponsorship, but to say that you have to have a credit card to gain entrance to a venue, is just moronic.
I miss the days that you just had to have a mask just to get into the mardi gras party.
EDIT: Your right, Brew.

Going to bonnaroo on credit???? Why would you bring your credit card all the way out to centeroo?? I can see having it locked in your stuff at camp, just in case. Especially if you travel for more than just a couple hours away on your way home. To bring it into the madness that is centeroo? Retarded!

I can't think of a worse idea than this, awful just plain awful, I try not to criticize these kind of things too much, but there is not one benefit to this idea, for ANYONE, except Chase. I could give a-shit if Chase sponsors something at Roo, but this requirement clause thing has NO place at Bonnaroo. Enticing kids at Roo into signing up for credit they don't need is a real sensitive thing for Bonnaroo to do in this economy. Nothing they have ever done has rubbed me in a wrong way like this has.

It would be awesome if the surprise Bonnaroo artist was KOL and you could buy brand new items from their clothing line with your brand new credit card while you were in the Lounge
I'm busting in there dressed as a Chase credit card. Getting some poster board and getting to work with some markers. See if they turn me down to see that Neil Young acoustic performance

I still want to know what this lounge entails. Anyone have a freedom card? I tried to click the banner for information but it looks like i need to log in with a card to read it.
Just because you have the card doesn't mean you need to use it. That's my plan at least, if it looks cool I'll get the card and then cancel it after the show.

The last thing I want to do is to put my credit on the line to get into a stupid little tent for a "surprise" artist. Seriously, that's stupid. Do they think it's wise to entice young adults into signing up for a credit card on such a notice without making them aware of the risks and responsibilities involved with owning a credit card? To a lot of kids, this may seem like "hey sign up for this thing to get into the special cool people club." And I don't think the type of people who will choose a credit card based on a four day weekend event aren't the types that are going to be responsible with their credit. I think it's really irresponsible, and I'm pretty disappointed by their decision here. I hope they enjoy your dirty money.
I posted this in the other thread too but I have a Chase freedom card. I was in cancun a few years back for spring break during college and they had a Chase tent which gave us a free backpack, shirt, private beach area w/ chairs, and a free limo service to and from the clubs. It was only for the people who had the card prior to the trip. I dont think you got anything besides the backpack when you signed up there. So if anything, its just a little lounge to provide some perks to cardmembers. It's not taking anything away from anyone else and is just rewarding people who are already cardholders prior to bonnaroo. I dont expect it to be anything huge, probably just the size of a normal vendor area. As for the special performance? who knows (FYI, checked the chase site too and it just linked to a bonnaroo auction to use your credit card points)

There is only so much space in centeroo, building a lounge for people who have a certain brand of rip off card seems excessive to me.

Excluding people spatially because of a credit company affiliation is a sell-out, plain and simple. VIP is one thing; you pay more you get more. This is just...dirty.

If it's really just a little lounge to provide some perks to cardmembers, then it should be advertised by Chase in email blasts to cardholders about their perks, what it should not be is an activity a Velvet Rope Club featured on Bonnaroo.com in the Festival 411
