This just in... The Electric Forest is NOT almost sold out.
But...but...but...REO Speedwagon! Dozens of semi-electronica acts that all make the same oontz-oontz sounds! Trees! HOW CAN IT NOT SELL OUT?????
As funny as this is, it's also kind of sad. The lineup is lame, REO Speedwagon is a joke, there's waaay to much electronica. BUT the Rothbury venue is incredibly beautiful, and the weather in Northern Michigan in July is beyond perfect. I hope in years to come better festivals are brought to the Double JJ ranch. I went to the first 2 rothburies and I felt something special that no other festival has ever come close to.

Completely agree! I was at the first Rothbury and I've never experienced anything else like that...before or since. That place is heaven compared to where Bonnaroo is at. Don't get me wrong - I love the farm, but there's something to be said for Sherwood Forest, no humidity, and cold nights!
Putting these two statements together shows that Patrons number will be over 80,000 in the event of a sold out Bonnaroo 2011. His twitter statement specifically counts 80,000 max number in General Admission only. We will have more than 80,000 Patrons including VIP totally. VIP is usually sold out by this time, a month before Roo, if my memory serves me right, the past 4 years.
If it does sell out, I'm curious to see how packed the What Stage gets this year. Last year during Stevie Wonder and Jay Z was nuts. [/quote
Saturday last year was indeed packed pretty tight. But remember, there will be fewer sneak ins and counterfeits this year, so the actual amount of tickets sold will be closer to the actual amount of attendees than in previous years. I would assume anywhere between 5-12 thousand people are in Bonnaroo "illegally" each year, depending on the night/act. Looking forward to that number declining significantly.

I'd say thats a safe bet. Coachella estimated gate crashers at around 15,000 and its the same size more or less as bonnaroo

Maybe it's the same size attendance wise, but Coachella's grounds a lot smaller than Roo. Roo is gigantic in size.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
