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!!
I wish there was some form of a counter to see how many people have purchased tickets to Bonnaroo as of now. I think it would be cool to see how it grows and at what additions it spikes!
It would be cool but would defeat the marketing aspect of not knowing. Not knowing encourages people on the fence to "BUY NOW" because they don't know if there are many left. I'm sure iignorance significantly increases sales.

I wonder if the sorry state of our economy will factor in. Even though noone wants to mention the "recession" word. We're in one, people are losing their homes, jobs, the dollar is weak, gas prices are breaking record highs. Might be a lot of people just saying no to a $300 ticket plus all of the related expenses.
I could see Bonnaroo 08 not selling out for this reason alone.

ugh. my father and i constantly talk about this. makes me want to go up to Bush, punch him in the face, and give him a big "THANK YOU "
i agree. a lot of people are having financial issues so who knows the chances of Roo selling out?

It's a fact that the economy always fares better under Democratic administrations.

Not only that, but there is going to be a lot of people who buy tickets and then need to sell them, preventing Bonanroo form selling more. Take me for example, i bought too and now the other dude isnt going so im stuck with an extra...
Until last year I just bought someones extra from the traffic jam. Always got one easily for $100 or less. Started just buying my own as I got a little more money and wanting to avoid the ever so slight hassle.

While this would be awsome to chart the tickets and become more "in tune" to the gig.....
It is precisely what Bonnaroo does not want you to see!!!! it is true in the world of business we are all just led sheep. SHowing this information would show the psychology used to get us to scurry for tickets etc.
I reckon over half of them have been sold at least. I don't know how many are in the first and second tiers, but both were gone in 30 mins. People may underestimate the huge draw of Pearl Jam and with Metallica and Mastodon playing, there will be a lot more of the metal crowd there as well. Thoughts?

Any time your dealing with big bussiness you have to remember there not going to give actual numbers due to the fact that "they did'nt make any money it was a total loss" that way they can get a tax break for twice the lost amount. So no we'll never know what the actual accounting is
that would be cool, but it would be terrible for business if tickets weren't selling that well. people have no idea how many tix have been sold which makes it urgent for them to get em as soon as they can
