Most of our group is still waiting for ours! Except the ones that got $175 stubhub tickets, they got theirs in a couple days after ordering... Grrrr.
I think I know what I'm doing next time!
Just cuious. your friend got theirs for $175 and a few days after ordering. Did they register it yet? are they sure its real. thats a little too good to be true!!!!!
Yeah, they ordered them last friday, got them yesterday... legit.
Nobody in my group who selected UPS has gotten them yet. The USPS ones did. I'm not too concerned about it right now. We still have 2 weeks to go.
Ahh that must be the deal then. I ordered mine during the first presale last June. I chose UPS because my mail-lady is a crack head. Last year after the first delivery attempt, my wristband package fell under her seat and it took her a few days to find it.

So the UPS man shows up at my door... I come RUNNING out.. full tilt screaming "The UPS man is here!!!!!!" only to get a package of glowy things for Roo... no tickets .. Our UPS man, Dave, looked at me and shook his head, I was so disappointed, but at least he gave me a doggie cookie... "to tide me over"!
Just out of curiosity, and because there must be a reason I save all these e-mails, I checked on the shipping -mails for the last 4 years. Last year was the exception. 2008 e-mail on 5/29 2009 e-mail on 5/28 2010 e-mail on 5/27 2011 e-mail on 5/13 so I guess this year is actually "normal" Kind of like waiting for Christmas though, it's nice to know that Santa is actually on his way.

HaHa!! that's hilarious I didn't get my tracking yet but was giddy like a school girl this afternoon when I saw the UPS man carrying a dark gold envelope to the door. So I dash down a flight of stairs open the door before his finger hits the bell...My boyfriends brother got a book delivered cause he lives in an apt.....SO Whoomp Whoomp

Nice work Mike....I was wondering. I will say this has hit me harder this year than before. Paying early and waiting to the last minute to get it is driving me nuts.
I have always received shipment e-mails in the last week of May and freakishly anticipate shipment confirmation like most in this thread. Yet until that e-mail comes my friends, the wristband of Damocles dangles over our Roo-addled heads.
"The suspense is terrible...I hope it lasts." or "I see you shiver with antici.........pation."

I've been saying this all along!! 2011 and 2012 were the only two years that Bonnaroo started shipping tickets before May 25. It's always been this way! Everyone take a deep breath and relax!
Guys, I don't even know if I'm going! I entered the air guitar contest and I'm one of 17 people who could win. At least you KNOW you are going!!! And it will be amazing. I find out on the 1st. I can't go unless I win. I'm dying of anticipation.
Your tickets will come and all will be good and you'll have the time of your life. It's ROO BABY!!!!!
I got my comp tickets already. They shipped from Manchester and came next day. I have sold the wristband I bought though and am really starting to worry that the person I sold it to won't want it when I get it. There aren't many times when logic has bit me in the ass but this time it did. I figured ya why not pay 2 dollars more for UPS because the postal service sucks and will loose them. I guess they thought of that too and shipped them all out first because of it.

Thanks for posting that. I think the anxiety is worse this year because the shipments seems more staggered this year. Some people got their emails and wristbands last week while some are still waiting for an email. Those people still waiting end up with more doubts that something has gone wrong since some/all of their friends have got theirs.

But 2008, 2009 and 2010 all started later than this year. Those shipment emails were received exactly 14 days before the festival.
Now Musictoday is saying tickets will arrive before May 31st which is only 7 days before the start of the festival.

I'm influenced from the Ask Gary. It seems more questions on there mention a friend who has gotten theirs already versus the timeline for the festival starting except for our international friends. They are freaking on the timeline. Speaking of which, someone from Australia said she hadn't got her email yet, so she called the number yesterday. They switched hers to a will call pick-up. Just throwing it out there if you were considering it, Manders.

I emailed them yesterday and they promised me that I would receive the wristband before May 31st now.
I'm going to send an email back this weekend that it's impossible that I will receive a wristband before the 31st when it is send that same week.

Remember this is a holiday weekend here. I hope someone is there to pick up the call Saturday-Monday. The UPS I worked for used to shut down Memorial Day weekend as well.

Agreed. It may take the stress off.
BS! I'm stressed, and I'm gonna stay that way till I get my email. And Hollie dear, you better be stressed with me. Cause one of these tickets is yours!

Well then hopefully they sent it out yesterday or today.. Or maybe they have a magical teleportation device for you special oversea Roo-goers, and it'll just appear like magic.
