Seriously. I don't even know where my ticket is from last year, because you know what? It doesn't matter. At all. It got me in, and became just another piece of colorful trash in my house. haha

I haven't gotten mine yet so I really can't comment, but to those saying the tickets don't matter, it kind of does. No other festival does their tickets like this (if there's others I'd be interested in seeing them,) they're great to put in my poster frame with the poster from that year. Coachellas was just a plain ticket stub from ticketmaster, and even Lolla's souvenir ticket that came in the mail yesterday looks like a shitty holographic card from 1995. It's a nice perk that they do this, and one of the ways Bonnaroo differentiates themselves from different fests.

08 was the best. I agree, it does matter. I keep all those things, they matter to me. Although I'm not gonna cry over the ticket not being the coolest thing ever, it would've been nice if they would've tried something a little bit more creative. Maybe they were trying to save money, who knows.

True, but if it's ugly or not, what does it really matter? The whole point is that you get a ticket that other festivals don't offer. As you said, a way to differentiate. I think it's really cool that they do it, but I could not care less what it looks like.
I got Lolla's souvenir tickets last year - it was like an oversized carnival ride ticket. Not too bad.
I do care about the ticket, and I am glad it's not just a regular Ticketmaster stub. I make collages of ticket stubs and hang them in my home. The Bonnaroo ones stand out because they are so unique.
That being said, this may not be as cool as '08 but it's still lovely and tres Roo and I am happy to add it to my current collage once Roo is over.

From what I've seen of the Roo ticket this year I actually like it, but I don't know how heavy it is compared to past years. Lollas souvenir ticket this year for comparison.
Yeah I'm disappointed in the design of the ticket, but it will do what it's intended to do and get me into the most magical place on Earth. And actually I liked '07s design more than this. Oh well, it'll go with my collection of other tickets after the fest.
I guess since we are all done crying about KOL, the ticket is next on the list If this design sucks, lets see what your design is. You folks need to cheer up a little and get excited, not be Debbie Downers all the time.

I don't think it's terrible, but it was a bit of a letdown, compared to previous tickets. It seems flimsier than the older ones and the design just seems rather bland. I'm not saying I could do better, and I don't think anyone here is, I just think they could do better, because I've seen what they've done before.
It's not a big deal, just getting my ticket in May every year gets me excited about Bonnaroo because it means the time is getting close. When I took this one out I was just kind of like "That's it?"Oh well, it will just wind up in a drawer with the others when this over anyway.
What a joke. It's more than just a ticket stub. Set these up next to past stubs. What a disgrace. This sucks.

with all due respect, my dear, from one Bulldog to another...it doesn't matter. Some of my best-ever memories from shows over the years have been the nothingest of ticket stubs. this year, they have gone with this artistic theme for the website, and it carries over to the tickets and probably to the tshirts and other merchandise as well. the important thing is to remember the meaning behind the ticket and the good times to be had.
i guess it doesn't really matter, but i was expecting a better ticket, given the 08 and 09 version. oh well, heart starts to beat a bit faster when i think about how close the ROO is!!

The VIP wristbands are horrible. We pay a good amount of money and get no ticket and plastic wristbands? I do like the skipping check-in at the school. I haven't even got my package yet but already a little let down from what i'm seeing.
I can't wait to get to the farm regardless of what the tickets or lack of tickets look like
