I had heard of people with chairs being turned away at security, but the regulations clearly say you may bring one in. I personally had no trouble bringing one in. They do sell these neato things....
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.
From my experience, those makeshift seatback chairs that are really designed for bleachers do wonders. I say skip the ones with the frames, though. The less you lug around, the happier a camper you'll be. That and you can stuff them into a backpack, so you dont have to carry an awkward mangle of metal and nylon around the farm.
Roo virgin but I might not even go with a blanket. As someone said the less you lug around the better. How are the grounds near the different stages for just sitting on the ground?

Depends on the weather obviously but you can usually find some good grassy areas on the outskirts of the main stage lawn. Which Stage area usually seems a little dirtier/sandier, not as much grass.
Not only can you bring in a chair, they'll sell you one in the general store if you forgot one....of course it will cost $40 instead of the $10 it would have been at walmart.
I know this first hand...in 09 I, actually bought one there....after watching Phish from a chair I "borrowed" from the Brooers Tent, I realized how much I enjoyed sitting down.
Last year we used the chairs all day and then dropped them off at the tent before late night sets started....this worked really well....least beat up I've ever felt at the end of a Roo

i usually just tow around a sheet if anything for bonnaroo. i do understand the need for some back support while your sitting though. when I'm hiking i carry along a chair like this. its a lot like the ones above only there's no frame. its really light and can be tied to a backpack/camelback or what you have and its comfortable. picked mine up at a big lots for less than $10.
i've gone both ways and just recently when without either at Coachella. i do like carrying a lighter load but i think having a blanket to throw down is my preferred way to go

There not bad but after a while you will want a sheet,blanket ect. think of it this way are you going to carry a backpack? you can just shove it in there...I an with my woman most of the time and she always brings all that kind of stuff....either way you will enjoy yourself!!! I hope!
I have a chair/backpack/cooler combo I got from Costco. It does from straight back to full reclining, I got it after 'roo last year but at AllGood and YMSB Harvest it was a lifesaver.

i stand up front so chairs really do not help me. I remember people bringing a couch in for Snoop tho.
A couch? How in the hell? Well, if you can not bring in a couch, I would suggest at least a blanket, get the ones with the plastic on one side, which will protect you from a wet ground. Nothing sucks worse than having a wet blanket to sit on, which kind of defeats the purpose. I personally will not be sitting much, because I will be dancing shaking my assoff. With my two left feet, I do more of a "shake" than dance.
I had an old style aluminum frame beach chair I took in once last year. Great to have something to lean against but it was far too heavy and inflexible to lug around. This year I'm trying this, less than 1 lb. and it rolls up, hopefully will be much better. tinyurl.com/6fge22j
