Has anyone heard the rumar that Roo was going to be free this year? Folks are talking about it on the myspace page. I'm sure this is NOT true, but does anyone know where it started? Got any other crazy rumors?

are those your feet? they looked really swollen.
and, a free bonnaroo sounds very very far fetched..the logistics of everything would be insanely difficult and it would either create field day for scalpers or the artists would not be as impressive as years past.

Haha, that would totally work, just like other "free concerts" work
The last major free concert I went to (Weezer in 2005 in ATL), there were so many people there the police had to classify it as a riot, several people broke bones and one person bruised their ribs...just from SO MANY PEOPLE being there. No fun.

yeah..police are pretty quick to start throwing the word "riot" around. Pretty much if there is a large gathering of people the police can't possibly control..its a riot.

Damn you Weezer fans and your rioting ways.
But somehow - in the end - it always turns out to be the fault of the police, right?

crazy rumor is an approriate thread subject
They're not swolen, just dirty. I think the pic got streatched and smooshed wierd. Time for a new pic
So is this the offical fake rumor page? We can so spin some heads with that in mind.
Ya know - I did hear that they were going to take Bonnaroo in a new direction and aim more towards the older folk with groups like Neil Diamond and Paul Sedaka

Haha, my friend got cut by a piece of flying broken glass and was rushed through the crowd cause he was losing so much blood. THose free concerts were miserable, especially Weezer because I had to constantly worry about not being trampled and it really got in the way of my good time (as did leaving early to accompany my friend).

I'd actaully love for it to be free. If they get the right bands we could have a modern day Woodstock.
Woodstock wasn't intended as a free concert. It just sorta happened that way. It'd probably be more like a modern-day Altamont (w/ mounties instead of Hell's angels).

it would be awesome if it wasn't so big with ticket prices around $200. when you can draw that big of a crowd for that price, if you made it free there would be more than 200 thousand people there and its much harder to handle such a large crowd. if the festival was currently small with less than 50000 people there they might be able to pull off a free festival for a year to attract a bigger audience, but it would rely heavily on getting money from vendors and merchandise like shirts or else you couldnt afford as many big names as bonnaroo so famously brings to the farm. even if the land could hold a lot more people there is no way to fund the staffing/acts to make it as pleasant of an experience
