After being here on this board for a few months, I've made up my mind that I will most definately be going to 'Roo '08. Here's my question - When did early bird tickets go on sale this year? I keep thinking to myself... I have til June to save up Roo money, then i'm like... oh yeah, tickets. whoops! I think I'm going to make every attempt to get an EB ticket for next year, that way if It doesn't work out and I can't go, I can always help someone else out with a cheap ticket.
edit: question bolded to sift through the rambling

I wonder who got those?
I personally think that Golden Ticket thing was a hoax to boost ticket sales. Half the people buying tickets forgot about that by the time the winners would be announced, and it's so easy for someone to just create a name out of their imagination as the winner if someone does inquire. I feel like the winners would've been posted on the Roo website or something if it was legit. But either way, it did get me excited at the thought of winning one... I just don't think it's completely honest.
I'm definitely going early bird next year. I realized while on the farm this year that the lineup is in fact the smallest part of Roo for me. I'm gonna have the time of my life no matter who's playing. I just trust Superfly in picking some phenomenal musicians each year.

Nawww... first off the records of who won a contest put on by a large company are rather easy to access, as they have to be made public. Then it's just a simple matter of finding out if the winner actually exists. And if not, then they've got a class-action lawsuit on them that they have no way of winning.

i'm definitely going EB too for 08, i couldn't give myself a better christmas present! and you're right, even if i hadn't listened to any of the bands, roo still would've rocked.

I actually saw one of the people on myspace who had the golden ticket.. I emailed her and told her that its cool someone actually got it and she was a really cool chic who digged music.. So anyways I actually attempted to go EB and i guess i waited 3 afters after it started and it was all sold out, soo i dunno i guess if u want on the EB u better do it the minutes of or hours cause they must go fast..

i saw one of the guys with the golden ticket friday night... they gave him and some of his friends the backstage hookup, and they had some fancy wristbands. he was a happy mofo.

The first day the actual tickets started being sold (Feb something??) with the 3 tiers of prices... It was on 215 the first day. It went through 2 tiers. Good thing I got mine at 185.
This man came up to me just the other day, asked me I'd been born again. I told him, "I didn't think I had." That I had been rejected. But I think, Hell's got all the good bands anyway. And Bonnaroo.

the early bird tixs were something that bonnaroo did for 07. they put a certain number of tickets on sale in december for like $125. you just have to watch bonnaroo.com for an announcement.

my boyfriend bought us early bird tickets this year... best decision ever! be sure the buy them the minute you are allowed to, tho, cuz we had ticket numbers 1652 and 1653 and he said that they sold out within the first couple minutes...

I emailed them about the contest since I purchased early bird tickets. Only people that bought tickets under the normal sale were included in the golden ticket contest.
This year I found out about the early bird ticket sales just a week or two after they went on sale, and I was so upset! Oh well, there's always next year....
