We have purchased our tickets as much as a month after they went on sale and never had a problem. Note, we do go VIP but the general admission areas never look sold out.
If you are worried about the RV area selling out I guess the best advice is to purchase your tickets and RV pass as soon as possible.
I had an on-site RV in VIP last year. - The RV was OK. - The on-site RV's in VIP were in the section of the campground closest to the hill by the main stage. - was not delivered clean, seems as if it was used the previous weekend. They came in and replaced all linens and did a cleaning, but I wouldn't consider it 'clean'. However - linens/pillows were all brand new. - I plan on renting one this year.
Details: showed up at 3pm thursday and it took about 30 minutes for someone to show us to our RV. At that point we couldn't get in. So we sat outside for a couple hours. Someone let us in by 5:30-ish, but it wasn't cleaned & there was no electricity (so no A/C, kitchen, lights). Electricity was turned on around 3/4am friday morning. A cleaning crew hit us some time while we were out watching shows Thursday night. Our neighbors didn't get electricity at all and had to be relocated to another RV. Water was replaced / removed daily as promised. The A/C was ICY. definitely made things comfortable.
posted this on another thread so sorry about the repeat.. sounds like vip area did better. however after research .. if you are not going vip rent an rv instead.. Well now.. onsite RV's.. We had a horrible, incredibly expensive Cluster Quack last year. Much of us our fault, but not all. Started as 2 with an onsite rv rental. Rental for onsite RV was 3K plus the tickets. Ended up as Penguin, party of 8, with an RV to get us all there plus the onsite. The rental RV, as tired as it was, much better than the onsite rv in Gen Ad. FEMA trailers.. No water until sunday despite following up with every one we could find and promises twice a day that water was coming. Beware that Broo does not rent the trailers- different comp so we were told. But Broo does the water and power. If anything goes wrong good luck finding help since mult companies are involved. So... Holes in the floor, no linens, missing bed parts (dinette converting to bed - no board/ no bed..) not clean when we got there etc etc. By not clean i mean old spills on the floor and ants eveywhere when we walked in. If tenting you should expect bugs.. when paying a ton for the 'luxury', not good. The only upside was the location near centerroo. Our block of trailers ran out of fuel for the generator sat night until sunday mid day, so no AC.. Sleeps 6 means 2 adults and a few more people less than 4 ft in height in the bunk beds (not joking). Just not a good experience with the onsite Rv. We ended up using the location for the day time outside gathering and slept in the rv we brought at night. Not again for us. We are picking up a really nice rv out of KY this time - sleeps 8 - for the cost of 2 VP tickets this time around. Sent follow up emails to Broo about all this, with documentation... no response. Hopefully someone that was in VIP onsites or had a better GA experience can be more postive. I hate to speak ill of Roo. Suggest you do plenty of homework before investing in an onsite RV in Gen ad.
Right now you can buy a decent RV on Nashville craigslist for a lot less than 3k. Also did any of you guys with horror stories get a refund or anything? If I shelled out that kind of money for that kind of experience I would be pissed.

i don't know if any one has seen this on the roo site but they may have listened to your complaints. They are using one company for all of the on-site rv's this year. that should help with some of the problems of last year. I still feel like it's too expensive unless maybe you're coming from far away, and don't want to take out a loan just to pay for the gas to drive in an rv.
No refunds... no response to the complaints while we were there or after.. It took me 3 months to cool down enough to compose a constructive complaint letter. It was an extremely difficult choice. The collective 'we' thought very hard about taking legal action because nothing that was promised was delivered. We all agreed the 'taint that this would put on Roo would be too much for us. Not to mention we were afraid of being banned for life. Not an option. Major lesson learned and we will be doing Roo much smarter this year.

We are driving in from Memphis on Thursday morning - rented a RV out of Lakeland - does anyone know if electricity is provided for people coming in thier own RV or is it strictly onsite rentals that get juice??

Doc,your rental should have a generator..check to see if they charge for usage of generator..we really only used ours for a couple of hours in the morning to sleep a little later...not really there during the day...
This word also has a underground meaning once you break it down. Let’s take “Bonn” for example and it actually turns into the word “Bone”. We all know gays use this word to describe the action of when they are fecal fisting their Cuban cabana boy at their sex bath house parties. Now let’s look at Roo, “Roo” is short for “Kangaroo”.So put the full true message together and you get“Bone a Kangaroo

I think the odds of a lifetime ban for small claims action would be pretty low. I would have done it for sure if they were unable to deliver for the kind of money they were being paid.
We're going to try out the on-site RV rental in GA this year, so I'll post a review after Roo with my thoughts. We've rented an RV and driven it in before.
There's enough of us splitting the cost that the difference between how much we spent that year and how much the advertised cost is aren't terrible from a person to person basis. There's a value component we're hoping is the payoff. 1) location being near tent-only/centeroo and 2) not having to drive the thing back, pump it out ourselves on the way, and clean it up (the guys we rented from expected the entire thing to be cleaned up spotless else were going to charge us $400 bucks for a "cleaning fee).
I hope to meet some of you old timers at camp inforoo this year. If you're interested in checking out location and the RV I'd be happy to show you, and share experiences up to that point.

on the bonnaroo site it is 155 for an rv pass.. does that include service fees and the $5 green fee or not? if not does anybody know how much the service fees are?
