laggy: "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."
I have a chase card..I had to log on and all that leno...
STILL the site tells me absolutely nothing...it just leads to a generic Chase page
/Thinks this is a bogus concept also even though I have a Chase card...
I am not disappointed with the bank. That is their business, and they made a good (but dirty) business move. That is to be expected of them. I'm disappointed with Bonnaroo.
And explain to me again how Bonnaroo is NOT a business? And how this is not a business move by Bonnaroo? If you give one business a pass, you have to give the other.

It's a good business move on Bonnaroo's part as well, and that's the problem. It's DIRTY business. I expect dirty business from these banks. But not from Bonnaroo. And that's the point I tried to get across.

It really is not. This is a bad business move by Bonnaroo and a predictably sleazy business move by Chase. I don't blame Chase for that. It's all they know. The only thing Bonnaroo uniquely has over lolla, Coachella, etc. is a fan base that has consistently demonstrated an aversion, in some cases a hatred, for corporate interference our music preferences. Bonnaroo has catered to that aversion in every year's lineup and has marketed itself as anti-corporate in everything from its sustainability initiative to having Robert Kennedy Jr guest speak on climate change. I don't claim Bonnaroo is not a business. I do claim Bonnaroo's clients, myself more than most, are turned off by this kind of corporate shill, ESPECIALLY when the shill restricts music from us. If Facebook's privacy antics can cause a shit storm, you have to think there are a growing number of Roo people looking elsewhere for their festival needs after this stunt. Even if it is the total dog shit music we expect.

Coachella goers hate corporate sponsorship as much as a bunch of people on here hate it. How we feel about the farm, they feel about the Polo Fields, sacred grounds, kind of an exaggeration, but kind of not.
Maybe all you poor people should try having some money.
I think the point Juggs, is, it doenst matter if you have fifty million dollars, if you dont have a Chase card, you cant come in. It isnt about money....
and damn, why didnt I think of that before, Just "TRY having some money". so thats al lit takes huh? Here all this time I thought you had to work for money, but all it takes is "trying" to have some.....WOW!!!
And wow, you're like a walking, talking infomercial to turn people away from Pearl Jam and Ohio State, aren't you? Before you started posting here I quite liked Pearl Jam and was indifferent towards OSU, now I find myself wishing that Eddie Vedder falls down a mine shaft or that Columbus is infested with locusts

Do they even have Piggly Wiggly in Milwaukee or is it a joke? At least Tennessee might actually have a Piggly Wiggly, we still have a few in NC I think.

Hopefully... I won't get flamed too badly....
I was checking ticket options... and saw something about Chase Freedom card. I have one so I followed the link.
Chase freedom card gives points for all of your purchases.... typically... I just get the CASH back... yes free money... they pay me to use their card.....
They also offer discounts or perks.... In the case of Bonnaroo... they offer a pair of G/A tickets with tshirts, a pair of VIP tickets with shirts and extra perks or 4 tickets with an onsite RV.
They are set up to go auction style. I bid on a pair of VIP tickets...
I didn't have enough points to bid on the 4 vip + RV. current bid is the equivalent of $350.
Here are some more details... for those that are REALLY curious There is more stuff... but here are their bullet points...
2 G/A Tix - you can use points for this or pay with your card $165 # Two general admission tickets to the festival # Exclusive access to the Chase Lounge # A Bonnaroo t-shirt, sticker and poster
2 VIP tix - auction style starting at $200 # Two VIP tickets to the festival # Access to a VIP viewing area for headlining shows # Side-stage viewing for one show of your choice* # Photo-pit access for first three songs for one show of your choice* # Exclusive access to the Chase Lounge # A Bonnaroo t-shirt, sticker and poster
4 VIP tix+RV - auction style starting at $350. # A Bonnaroo camping pass with RV # Four VIP tickets to the festival # Escorted golf cart tour of the festival site # Access to a VIP viewing area for headlining shows # Side-stage viewing for one show of your choice* # Photo-pit access for first three songs for one show of your choice* # Exclusive access to the Chase Lounge # A Bonnaroo t-shirt, sticker and poster
One crappy thing... you can't see closed auctions. the one i did closed today... and they put out 3 new ones today that close in a week.
I am happy - I saved money.... plus get some perks. Although I can understand completely how it is annoying to other concert goers that their is an area that is out of bounds.... one thing to consider about that... when I go to show I try to get as close as possible.... the closer the seats the more expensive they are... Even if we are just considering face value.
eh - so that's the info I have that helps answer some questions...
I still don't know what good 'the chase tent' is... if they give me some cold water - that's kool. IDK. If anyone knows about what good it is....
so don't hate me I am so psyched .. can't wait for a little vacation and some good festival fun.

Huh. Good stuff to know, reguardless of how I feel about it.
Why is everyone bashing this idea? You know Chase is paying to have this tent set up there.. Allowing only people who have Chase cards will keep it from being overcrowded while enticing people to sign up. Of course, those who don't have the card will be upset.. Sort of like a 10 year old who isn't allowed in the clubhouse.. But after a certain age.. Don't you learn to not care if you're allowed in the clubhouse or not? If you want in that badly, then sign up. If you think it's a horrible idea, then don't go--it won't ruin your Bonnaroo experience.
People who didn't buy a VIP ticket aren't allowed in the VIP area.. So should we be bashing that idea as well? Or do we understand it's ideas like that which generate revenue for our annual music festival to afford so many great acts.
As far as the Freedom card being a rip off... I've had mine for about 3 years and only use it occasionally.. And I've probably received 3x the amount I've been charged in interest back in cash-back rewards and perks. So, yeah.
i dunno if this has been mentioned anywhere yet, and sorry if it has, but that damn chase freedom lounge nabbed an Avett Brothers show at 1pm on Saturday.

I happen to have a Chase card and I will be checking it out in hopes of having a good time. I don't understand why people are so against this whole private tent thing anyway. It's like being pissed that you cant go where the VIP people get to go with a GA ticket. That being said hope to see a lot of you at the ROO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a freedom card. and i took full advantage. Here's the lowdown: Free fresh lemonade, dasani water, and small snacks (chips, granola bars, etc). It was air conditioned and had 2 tvs, which had channels for what stage, which stage, this tent, and that tent. also clean bathrooms There were people with even specialer wrist bands that got them access to real food in a back patio. I think these are the people who bought tix with reward points Also you needed the specialer wrist bands to see the private show with the avett bros. The card alone wasn't enough.
But this tent was refreshing and a nice relaxing break from the sun. and the free lemonade was amazing.
