NYC Bonnaroo Bus - Ticket Wanted

I wouldn't recommend the NYC bus. It may work out. It may be a mess.

I actually don't know of anyone on here that actually bought a ticket. There was this one girl that was pimping the bus. But she has since vanished and the kid that was putting the whole thing together was banned.

Thanks for the input.
Just bought a flight out of Westchester for $250. ($150 as I had a $100 credit).

Ugh, they're going to have people DJ'ing on the bus!? Oh hell no.

I'm curious the drop-off logistics have worked out like dude wanted them to. Someone want to e-mail him and ask!?

Brave lady!

I went to their "message board" thingy, and he said that the bus isn't going to be sold out, therefore, they are using the back few rows on the bus for extra storage. But it's still crap... I mean, there are two of us, and we will have our 4-door car loaded down.

Oh wow, seriously? The rape bus leaves three weeks from today, and he STILL doesn't have a solid answer?

I feel like we need to contact these poor kids and offer them refuge at Camp Inforoo or something.

Maybe. On the website that the event is posted I had to sign up to ask a question. I'm assuming everyone else did as well. I can see if I can get ahold of the other people that have bought tickets and send them a link to the original thread.

Maybe JN is also planning on selling EZ ups outside of Centeroo after his flock of Noobs has been there a day? Oh Bad Dobby!!

I really hope this goes down better than what our guts are saying will happen. It would be terrible for so many new Roo-ers to have a collectively crappy Roo.

Was thinking the same thing JHO. However it does not apply just to this bus load, though their odds of this not going well seem considerably higher. Sounds like a lot of first timers this year.

My concern about this group.. vastly Noobs. Most likely not InfoRooers. If they are reading inforoo and still signed up for this high risk trip given that this is not an established business with experience at Rooing (sorry about the run on.. reading too much Lono lately) then perhaps one could reasonably question their judgement skills. Combined with the lack of knowledge that IRoo'ers share on how to survive roo (ie what to bring). Sounds like a dangerous recipe.

I have visions of a flock of young girls walking around with 2 suitcases of clothes and curling irons looking for the electrical outlets.

If any of the experienced Roo'ers see ^^^ please lend a hand if you can and bring the Noobs into the flock.

SFA - Not from the area however agree with this. The grocery store located at the pick up point and plugged in the announcement also appears to be this companies earliest contract/client.

I need to walk away from this thread. Had trouble falling a sleep last night. The Q/A suggests the attendees can drink on the bus all the way to TN. (Is everyone at least of legal age.) If this happens they could be dehydrated before they even get to the farm. Hope the Roo gods keep an eye on this group and favor them.

This is all accurate. My roommate drove from Brooklyn to my place in the Bronx (less than 15 miles) during rush hour and it took him over 2 hours to get home yesterday.

Honestly? This bus sound like a scam/nightmare every time it gets brought up. I never looked into it, but there are enough people from NY/NJ/CT on here looking for rides that people should be able to get a van or something. But sketchy Brooklyn Bonnaroo Buses make my BS alarm go nuts.

Here is the thing though. Do these people really have an alternative? I mean that bus isn't worse then a greyhound, and plane tickets are outrageous.

Also unless one is in New York State you can't rent a car if you are under 21 (and the fees for that are usually $80+per day for underage fee).

I would say just warn them that it wont be all rosy, and prepare, but at this point I'm thinking short of looking for rides on inforoo this is the best alternative for anyone under 21 (over 21 one can get a decent rental car deal in most places).

Actually, I looked into renting a car when it appeared as if I wasn't going to have my own ride. Thankfully, my friend was able to convince his significant other to let us take their Chevy Envoy.

But the fees, generally, are $35 per day if you're under 25. All-in-all, these people could group themselves into groups of 4 and split the cost of renting a car (and gas) for probably $150 a person. I was finding mid-sized SUVs and 4-door cars for about $350 from Wednesday the 8th until Monday night.

So, basically, these people just didn't do the due diligence and are panicked. No chance I would pay the same price as a Roo ticket to drive down on a bus, when for less money I could rent a car.
