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!!
Say you wanted to see a certain comedian, do you have to get tickets before their performance? If so where in Centeroo do you go for this?
1.) Look at the schedule to see which comedy shows you want to try to see.
2.) First thing you do when you are in Centeroo go to the comedy tent and ask some workers when you should come back for tickets to the specific show you want.
3.) If they seem unsure or give you advice you aren't convinced is correct try to find someone more official (some of the workers are volunteers who don't know too much). Get an answer for when you should get a ticket. Usually they give out tickets for a show after the one before it begins.
So if there are shows at 2, 4, and 6 but you want to go to the 4 o clock show then they'll likely begin handing out the tickets shortly after the 2 o clock show begins. Make sure you verify this with a worker though.
4.) Go back at the time you're supposed to and grab a ticket. For popular acts there may be a line that forms with people who are waiting to pick up tickets. So you may want to head back slightly earlier than the worker told you.
5.) Ask, ask, ask. I don't care if I annoy a volunteer by asking questions and verifying the answers. Sometimes misinformation can screw things up.

She got pretty well known from The Comedian's of Comedy with Patton Oswalt, Brian Posehn, and Zach Galifianakis. She is amazing at doing voices. Been in a bunch of weird stuff that's been pretty funny.
So I've got to put this out into the universe - With IFC involved this year, I'm hoping for Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen to roam the festival as their various characters from Portlandia. I think this could be absolutely entertaining and hysterical. Taping them wandering around roo and interacting with attendees... then broadcasting it on tv after the festival. Of course they could do an official show too.
Comedy Bang Bang and David Cross are must sees for me.
I plan on attending David Cross on Sunday, hope it aint too packed but I've got nothing else going on at the time so I figure this is a great way to get a break from the heat, especially after the three grueling days prior to this!
Just noticed they moved the comedy tent farther away from This tent, with the cinema tent now in between. Hopefully that helps a bit with the noise
Where did you see this? Is there a new map I missed?
I'm seeing it on the android app on my phone. It definitely looks like they moved some things around. Comparing it to the 2011 centeroo map it looks like the cinema tent was moved slightly, as well as the smaller sponsored tent (this year hosted by state farm) with the comedy tent further pushed into the corner. That is a good sign for noise bleed in the comedy tent. I wonder if the Cinema/Comedy tents will have any upgrades. The Comedy tent last year (or 2011...can't remember) was pretty sweet but they were filming for Comedy Central so maybe that played a role.

I just noticed today that the festival map is on the app, for the iphone anyway! And it's a new map for this year.
Huh. I have the iPhone app, I reset application data and map, and it's still the one with 2012 in the lower left. Wonder if I need to delete and reload the app.

I just went to the app store and suched Bonnaroo 2013, it downloaded the new version and replaced the old one.

Trying to decide between seeing Bammer and free dinner, David Cross/James Adomian for Mac DeMarco/Baroness, and first 15m of OM&M and Mike Birbiglia. Anyone familiar with their current material and where they are at with it?
I really want to make it into the tent and I thought CBB! would b a lock for me, but Björk is too important.
Also, your new icon is amazing, allofthetacos. I got to see his new movie + a Q&A in DC.

I'm going to the 2nd Bamford set on Thursday, and that's sadly the only Comedy Tent time I'm gonna log this year. For years I never went in there, now I have to see at least one Comedy show each Roo.

FYI hcmg, I doubt that you'll be able to get into the tent after the David Cross set begins.
If I don't that's fine - but have you tried to do this?
A few years ago I was able to walk in in the middle of The League guys doing their set and the other sets I've seen have had plenty of people leave during the set, now just to figure out if Cross will be doing his set at the beginning, middle or end of the set time.

No, I haven't tried to. I do remember when I tried to leave and piss during Donald Glover, the bouncers said that they wouldn't let me back in. Don't think it was an issue of admitting more people, though, since none of the audiences I have been in have seemed to grow. If you've been able to in the past and want to bank on the tent being less than capacity, more power to you.
Also, I'd expect Mr. Adomian to get the first 15 - 20m of the set. He is not one to be missed.

They really need to fix some things with the comedy.
-The tent is just to small. Here are some of the comedians the have brought in over the past few years: Aziz Ansari, Daniel Tosh, Conan O'Brien, Ed Helms, Jimmy Fallon, Lewis Black, Bob Saget, etc. Some of the biggest comedians you can get today...and it only holds 1400 people? (that was the number I heard this weekend) If they are going to bring in them names it should hold around 4k or 5k.
-The need to make it soundproof. Saw two different comedy sets, and I could hear music at least during one point of both sets.
-They need to fix how they do there ticket system. Don't know how right off the top of my head...but there is bound to be a better way.
