We're on the fence for VIP tickets. Do VIP tickets get you access to the front of the crowd at the stages. For example, could I get close to Radiohead without fighting my way through 5,000 people? I remember seeing something like this in years past, but it's not mentioned on the official site.
Pretty sure VIP gets access to the pits at both the main stages before they allow GA in. It doesn't work that way in the tents, but there is a viewing platform above the crowd, near the sound boards.
That requires a $2000 upgrade to Total Access. TA is sold in 8-ticket blocks and that 8-ticket block (I think) runs $20 large. VIP will get you some exclusive viewing areas (bleachers, The Hill) but it will not get you to the rail. You will need to compete with the unwashed masses for the rail. And I'm not trying to be snarky. I'm going VIP this year but I do like unwashed masses.

quacker is right. I've done VIP four straight years, and it's never provided me access to the front of the crowd. Go here to find out some more info on what VIP gets you. The Was VIP Worth it thread may address some of your questions: bonnaroo.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=vipdiscussion
:-[Thanks for the feedback, hubby and I have been hitting the festival circuit pretty hard for the last 6 years but never sprung for VIP. I'll check out that link but I think we're sold.
