One of my biggest concerns is having my phone die on me. I'm planning on doing tent only, so I won't even have access to a car charger. One of my friends thought there were charging stations in Centeroo. Can anyone confirm that? And if so, what's the cost and time commitment (lines and charge time)? Thanks!
Cool off in air conditioning, relax on comfy couches and recharge your batteries while you wait for the next artist performance! Need to charge your cell phone? Drop it off at the HTC cell phone charging station and they'll juice it up for you. And while you're re-charging, grab a hammock and take a load off or stand under the misting fans outside to cool down. Don't forget to get in on all the excitement as Fuse tapes a special episode of "Top 20 Countdown: Bonnaroo 2011." Want more Fuse TV? Then don't miss the daily barn activities, special DJ sets, special programming events, giveaways and much more.

Let me explain this to you: You have to LEAVE your PHONE to strangers to let them charge it for you, which may take an EXTREMELY long time. Are you comfortable with complete strangers having your phone? My fear would be someone would lose my phone or worse, it get swiped.
If not, buy extra cell batteries and charge them up before Bonnaroo. you can get express shipping and the batteries are relatively cheap.

it's really not that bad if you can put a little trust in people.
you drop your phone off and get a ticket and they place your phone in this little cubbie and it will charge there. there is probably 50-60 little cubbies in this thing and there are maybe 6-10 people taking phones, giving tickets and watching the phones as they charge.
really don't think people are going to be swiping them. my outgoing friend would make friends with random vendors at the back end of the field for what and have them even charge her phone. these were people she met only minutes before.
I used the charging station last year. I don't know if it's like this all the time but they told me I could only have it charge for a half hour. When I went back to get my phone, the battery was barely charged. In my opinion, you shouldn't use the charging station unless it is absolutely necessary.
In years past, while not having direct access to a reliable charging point, I've used strangers' cars and extension cords from RVs, to charge my phone. I'd just chat up some new friends, maybe toss them a couple beers or something, and get a quick charge. You'll be fine. Promise.
The charging stations aren't terrible, but they have their hurdles, so make them your last resort!
You'll be fine. Promise.
