- I am driving down an RV and staying in RV/VIP with a few of the people in the RV, I am also carpooling 4 others who are not in VIP. What should be the game plan for them for entry? I know in past years VIP has a separate entrance, we are all staying @ the Holiday Inn express on Wednesday, can they walk right in to General camping to check in?
- With early entry now @ 7pm Wednesday, can I just check in with my group Wednesday night in RV/VIP, park the RV and go back to my hotel for the night and than catch a van or walk back in Thursday a.m and have no wait at all?

I am confused by this you have an RV yet still want to go to a hotel? Also let me clarify you have a VIP RV spot right but some of your party is not in VIP? did you know they will not be able to get into RV VIP and be able to sleep? I have never had the luxury of VIP so I do not know I just know that this question will not be answered by me. I ask for a higher authority then me to advise you. A smart man knows when to ask a question. Hopefully my name attached to this thread will get you a quick response when someone sees it.

I am also confused. . . Are you planning for you friends car pooling to stay in the RV with you? Because only people who purchase VIP tickets can get into VIP. If they aren't staying with you then they just need to get in line and they will direct them to GA.
Why in the world would you leave Bonnaroo to go back to your hotel if you have an RV?? Anyways, once you get into Bonnaroo on Wed night you can not leave until Friday. There are 80,000 people trying to get into Bonnaroo Wed--Thurs so they are not going to be letting people in and out during all that. Even if you some how manage to leave you will still have a wait getting back in on Thursday.
You can probably walk out, however from looking at Google Maps unless they will let you cut through the production area (doubtful) it will be about 3-4 miles each way. That is assuming you make a straight shot to the Interstate entrance to the grounds then walk down the interstate to Hillsboro Hwy. I am not sure that is worth it for a hotel room, especially if you have a RV but to each their own.

We always get a room the night before the festival since we drive through the night for 16 hours and than wake up early Thursday a.m and go in. After renting the RV, last week they posted the early entry on Wednesday info. I would want to park the RV in there Wednesday and avoid the wait Thursday. And than walk right in Thursday a.m and stay in the RV all weekend. Only the people with vip are staying in rv, my question was how should the people in my party without vip approach walking into the festival? I don't think your right about not being able to leave until Friday, I am not talking about pulling the rv out and leaving, I am talking about walking out of the festival down the road and to the hotel and than the next morning doing the same thing, I will already have my wristband which is sent in the mail, so why would I not be able to walk out of the festival?

There are a total of 8 people in a sleeps 5 rv, that's why we are getting a room, my wife and I also would like to get 1 last good night sleep before we go in, I am almost 40 years old and if I can get a room with a pool and a hot tub and get a great meal after driving 16 hours through the night with 7 other people than I am ok with that. Also, in the past staying in vip there is a shuttle that takes you in and out of the festival every 1/2 hour in case you need anything from the outside world or for the people who are doing the hotel package
If there is a shuttle to Wal Mart you will be golden, If not the walk might not be that bad depending on whether or not they let you walk out on Kimberly. Maybe you should get your friends to drop you Weds, then just walk in thursday or maybe even hitch a ride up the VIP back route. That should make it a lot easier on you.

lol. We learned about the shuttle the hard way, my wife lost our brand new camera the night of the giant rain storm Thursday 09, all the store inside Bonnaroo sold was disposable cameras, the next morning one of the staffers told us about a van every hour that leaves and comes back in, we went to get a ride, there were like 20 people there, as soon as the van pulled up, they sent everyone away saying it was for staff...the guy saw our vip wristbands and said "your camping vip?. your in"...so I am assuming that is still a ride if needed, but its only for one trip in and out so I could walk if I had to

I tell you what go stay in the hotel and I will watch you RV. I have often admired them after watching Breaking Bad I will sit in and watch your RV for you cook a lot and keep it free of WOOKS until you get back Thursday. The only thing that I ask in return is keys to the liqour cabinet so that I can keep WINNING.

lol, I would help you out my man, but I was told only those with vip wristbands can get into that area, if you have some camo and black face paint Im sure you could go on a midnight mission to get to my rv and I will leave the keys under the back tire...I won't lock the liquor or spice cabinet
