After reading the "who's going to upgrade" thread and seeing the guys' story about finding a "why?" pass...... i'm extremely curious as to what all VIP includes?!? And what is the difference between VIP and a backstage.....or is VIP also a backstage pass?.......
Well, biglou and I went VIP and it was also our first Roo, so I don't know a lot about the Guest passes and whatnot. But VIP doesn't allow you backstage.
VIP bene's include: A/C bathrooms (not portapotties) Free showers Free food A/C hospitality tent with couches Discount beer Larger camp areas Closer proximity to Centeroo (I like to use the word proximity, is that weird?) Separate entrance to Centeroo and Which stage area (in which you just flash your wristband and walk right thru, no searches) VIP party on Thursday (which we missed whilst exploring Centeroo) VIP bleachers
We also got a VIP gift package for each of us: t-shirt, bumper sticker, poster.

naw, it's a good word

i'd say the only thing i didn't see covered is the separate entrance into the farm itself (which didn't really turn out to be great for me this year, still waited hours! but apparently a wait that long isn't the norm)

i'll do it again next year if me and the boyfriend can afford it!
went GA (tent only) last year and the upgrades were definitely a big bonus
best part of VIP? THE BROWNIES, omg those things were so good
another bonus was that i felt totally safe leaving the windows open on our RV, even when we weren't at camp. which is saying a lot considering the level of theft that seemed to be apparent at roo this year (bummer)
VIP is good. IMO you're paying for the camping. Sure the toilets are nice but realistically the GA portajons are not that bad. Showers are good too but you can get clean in GA if you put your mind to it.The food is convenient but I never eat that much at Roo anyway.
It really is all about the camping spots. They are roomier and obviously closer to the action. The short walk is a life saver worth it alone.

$4 for Sweetwaters, IIRC.
I agree with Alyroo except for one thing: the air-conditioned bathrooms are definitely worth it, if not for the cleanliness (as she pointed out, the public portajohns weren't that bad), then for the lighting and the AC. If nothing else, I felt a little more relaxed using the VIP privies.
for $22.00 a week will buy your VIP tickets , thats all it takes . Plus your other expenses, gas spending cash , booze ect .. i could not do bonnaroo any other way ,, and getting 2 or 3 nice showers a day was awsome . taking the 1st dump of the day in a a/c bathroom with a packed bowl , coffee. and bonnaroo sched,PRICELESS .... WAKE AND BAKE..

Niiiiiice!!
I gotta say that my one and only dump in an odor-free, air conditioned VIP bathroom with the Bonnaroo radio playing at the perfect volume wasn't quite as lavish! ;D

I'm seriously thinking about going against my original foudational beliefs of festie-going and upgrading..... I just think i would enjoy myself more.... And it seems more laid back in VIP. I just have always gone with GA at every fest i've been too.... But theres a first for eveything, eh? Thanks you guys! So what about backstage access? How's that work?
