Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
Are there limits on the number of tickets sold for music festivals? Obviously there would be if someone like Zep headlined, but assuming that they don't, do I have to worry about getting tickets as soon as they go on sale? or will I be safe waiting a month or so?
Also wanted to say hi, been lurking for a few months. I'm from Chicago, been going to Lolla for a few years and Bonnaroo seems to have everything that Lolla is missing, so this will be my first of hopefully many 'roos.
(after running spell check I discovered that Inforoo doesn't think Bonnaroo is a word... odd)
Welcome! You don't need to worry about tickets selling out. They didn't last year until like the week before bonnaroo. They sell like 80,000 tickets i think??
I think it was like the day before or day of...so yea dont worry. They just get more expensive as time goes by. In the ballpark of $15-$20 increase for each tier of tickets. I believe there are 3 tiers (I should know this after 4 go rounds, oh well) i.e. buy early, save money. Enjoy your Roo, I'm sure we will be seeing you at many more!

I think they set capacity at 80,000, so there might be slightly less tix. In past years they used tiers, but I thought I read somewhere that they were not using tier pricing this year. Besides, the first tier sells out in the first 5 min. every year. If Zeppelin is actually there, then we have reason for concern, otherwise you should have plenty of time to get them.

how does no tier pricing work? Just different time frames to buy in? One uniform price?

or, you could do what I did the last 2 years and buy on eBay the week before Roo. In '06, I think I paid $152 total. Last year it was a little higher, can't remember exactly, but 172 tops. ;D

I think that "no tier pricing" means one time frame (time frame starts when tickets go on sale and ends when tickets sell out) and one price.
I agree that the only cause for concern is if Zeppelin were announced. I think that the "no tier pricing" rumour was started in a similar thread here last month. I believe that all we heard from Superfly was that they weren't doing the early bird special this year.
Has anyone else had success buying ebay? I always worry that I'll get scammed going that route!
VIP sold out earlier than GA, last year. Like, I think around a month earlier, at least. If you're thinking of going VIP, I wouldn't leave it until the last second.
If some of the bigger names really do end up getting booked for Roo, I think that e-bay and ticket agencies will play a big role in ticket sales. I'm sure a lot of people will end up getting a couple pairs of tickets, and then sell the extras for higher prices to recoup the cost of their tickets.
