No, I think that was Michael Jackson, maybe now it's Eminem. But, can he sell out an 80,000 seat arena?
For real? The Michael Jackson everyone knew for the past 20 years was a butt of most jokes and a weird guy who wasn't putting out stellar music. Eminem is pretty huge.
And what is everyone's obsession with having to be able to sell out an 80,000 seat arena? What does it matter? Do they put on an amazing show? That's what matters.
2 - Tomorrow is the last day for bands to submit their stuff to Roo for the possibility of playing this year. I have a feeleing these bands will be announced with the 1st round of additions. With that being said, I think we have at least a week or two of waiting until we see anything from Roo Whats 2 weeks anyways......... really?

Those bands will probably be cafe acts. I wouldn't expect them to be included in the first round of additions at all.
I hope bonnaroo tickets don't sell out this year in all honesty. Less people equals more space in the campground, less crouds, and shorter lines.
Even if they don't sell out.......it's hard to tell the difference between 80,000 and 70,000 people when you're there. It's going to feel crowded unless they sell like half the tickets they usually do.

I could definitely tell a difference in 2008...but I doubt sales will be that bad this year

The only time I notice the crowd really is coming back from the What after a headliner. It's impossible to get back to a tent or the Which in less than 25 minutes.

Has Bonnaroo ever booked any band that sells out 80,000 person arena shows?
I would think given the right circumstances Metalica, Jay Z, and Stevie Wonder might be able to (obviously Stevie and Metalica couldn't now but at one point). A one off Jay Z show at Yankee stadium could easily sell 80,000 tickets. Dispatch probably sold 80,000 tickets to their MSG shows a few years back.
Selling that many tickets is just a matter of luck/ the right place/time/circumstances though.
I've seen Justice been brought up a couple times but haven't seen any real discussion (unless i missed it). Any chance they could play? Or is that pretty much 100% not happening?
lol, I don't even attempt to get my tix via 10 club anymore, such a joke, I have a great # and I still get garbage seats, plus the ticketmaster server is built to withold massive traffic, the 10 club site is a mess the day of pre sale. Vedder @ the Beacon in June will be awesome, my 2 week run will go Bonnaroo 6/7-6/13 > Yankees @ Wrigley 6/17 & 18 w/a MMJ show in Chicago > Yanks @ Cincy 6/20> EV @ the Beacon 6/21-6/22....starting to feel like that October in 2009 with Bruce, PJ & Yanks world series
lol, yeah the presale is a giant mess, and the tix you get, depending on how lazy the organizers are that day, could be based on seniority, or when you get their, or could be completely random.
My plan for the redesign:
They announce the tour, and the final day to opt in to a "lottery". You log in and go to the ticket lottery page. On this page, you state how many tickets you want at each show (1 or 2 only), then select the shows you are interested in seeing (ordering them based on your preference).
The "Lottery" process, will not be random. You will receive points for the length of time you have had your membership without it lapsing (1 point per day), and the length of time it has been since you last successfully ordered tickets through tenclub (7 points per day, starting the date of the last concert, and counting until the date of the concert in question, if they are new to the club, and this is their first presale, this number will be set at 1000).
compile a list of everyone who opted in to concert A, sort them by POINTS (Highest to Lowest), top (however many tix available) get tickets. If there are tickets left after the lottery, there will be a second chance lottery, which everyone is free to participate in.
I could go into much greater detail, but I have already wasted 20 minutes of work time on that....lol

Not on the 80,000 subject.... but on possible additions, what about Eddie Vedder? Solo show seems like it could be an add.. and his tour schedule starts 3 days after Roo

It's possible. His solo tour does start right after bonnaroo (june 15?). A couple people on the board (myself included) have expressed interest/hope that he would be added.
It seemed at least a little more crowded in 2010 than 09 or 08. But maybe that was just my impression.
Maybe its just us, but I noticed last year as being more crowded. It probably had a lot to do with me camping closer to centeroo and some other factors. There were definitely about 5000+ more tickets sold last year than in 09, but that doesn't seem like a very noticeable amount relative to the total attendees.
I think Bonnaroo is hurting themselves right now. Even if the addtions come out and are decent (on par with the additions every year), people are going to say "Really you made us wait this long just for THAT?"

Yeah but the majority of people who b!tch are faithfuls who most likely bought their ticket the day they went on sale. Inforoo is built around just those people, therefore you see more b!tching. Pretty much the case on any festival message board...
