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 got my acceptance a little bit ago. (submitted Wed I think)
You have 72 hours after the deposit until you find out your croo.
I'm sure you can email them to switch, especially if to post fest. Prefest is possible if return volunteers aren't quick to sign up yet and whatnot. Email and ask.
Sweet! Thanks! Hopefully my friend and I get our acceptance tomorrow!

This is my first time volunteering, but I want to try to and get into one of the Pre-Roo slots. Just applied and am anxiously waiting for the confirmation. I'm really excited to get on the farm early, and am really excited to have the time to get to know more people. Last Roo I was wayyyy too introverted and didn't talk to people. I'm hoping that throwing myself out there in volunteering will help!
YAY for a fast response (1 day after deposit submitted) and for being done by Friday night. Hopefully I get a good parking location (non-GA?). Seeing as how I'll have a 12-hour shift, I guess being in the sun may be inevitable, but oh well... just hopin the bf and others can join me or at least camp in the tollbooth/parking camping location.
Most likely you will be working one of the Toll Booths scanning people in and putting on their wristbands. If not,(which you hope it will be), you'll probably be in the field as a human traffic cone or physically flagging cars/RVs into parking spots. Its not a bad gig for what ya get out of it. Remember sunscreen, sunglasses, bandana, and drink lots of water whether on shift or off.

I'm not new to the toll booth scene. It's what I was signed up for the past 2 years. I actually helped at toll booth for once last year (got to scan in the first people in line! And even met some Inforoo folks coming through!) but almost helped with parking 2 years ago. Ended up just giving coffee to parking staff with the woman in charge of the Parking staff, lol... lots of sitting around waiting for something to do. Might be cool to see her again. I wonder if she'd recognize me. I was the only person awake the whole time we were out behind the stages waiting for parking jobs.
If they need me at toll booths, awesome! That was my #1 choice minus the whole shifts possible through Sunday. More than likely I'll help park/flag down cars in GA areas or maybe even park guests, VIP, etc. Who knows... I hope it's not too bad. My bf did Parking during daytime shifts and it was a lot of sun and long walk back to camp. I hope it doesn't end up too exhausting. Definitely bandanna, hat, Camelbak, snacks, mini fan/mister, etc on hand while on shift in the daytime.
All I know is I'm looking forward to getting my schedule at the end of May...and very anxious what my friends get assigned.
[Update:] My bf (zacd on here), managed to call them and get the Croo worked out to join me in Parking. Almost tempted to switch us to tollbooth, but we like the Friday guarantee to be done with Parking. Apparently the guy told him that VIP parking is closer to POD 1, so those in POD 1 camping area are more likely to help in VIP. we'll see

got my acceptance! deposit submitted! can't wait to find out my c'roo!
[Update] got my crew assignment within like an hour of submitting my deposit! My friend and I are doing tollbooths. Hopefully we get the better of the shifts, and our newbie friend gets to work with us
Just got my response back and I'm parking. I applied for pre feet and did it last year. Pretty upset I didn't get it. How much of the fest will I miss? I know we get done before Friday but can we get done earlier?
I just got approved for Artist Hospitality and Logistics. Looking forward to it! See you at the farm
Congrats Amber, I know that is the one you wanted. Just sent my deposit in. I'll notr be able to sleep tonight till I find out where I'm working! My ID was #36, if that means anything.

Keep your fingers crossed. Someone may get pre and can't make it and would swap with ya. We got to put 5 shows we would rather not miss. I've vol'd 3 other times and not missed any fav's.
After a few days of lurking and much reading, I believe I will make my first ever trip to Bonnaroo. What better way to enjoy my first ever camping music festival, than be volunteering in the Volunteer State (my former and future home). According to what I've read in this thread, it sounds like new vol apps will begin being accepted on Monday? I plan on filling out the app and paying the $25 fee ASAP. I've wanted to attend for years and just never did it. I believe a mid-life crisis may be kicking in........
Nothing wrong with a mid-life crisis, I've had one evry year since I turned 45.

Thank you! I'm excited!! Got my approval while I was sitting in class this afternoon, I almost squealed
acceptance e-mail came in @ 3:31pm, put in the deposit @ 3:43pm, and received my assignment @ 5:24pm. Pretty damn impressive.
Pre-Show - Artist Hospitality and Logistics C'Roo
Looking forward to my sixth year as a volunteer!
I got my acceptance at 5:25pm. They were ON IT!. Looks like you and I are on the same C'Roo Have you done Artist Hospitality and Logistics before?
I haven't assisted with anything like that in previous years but there was a volunteer last year who helped set up the artist dressing rooms for the What Stage.
"ARTIST HOSPITALITY AND LOGISTICS- Works with the Artist Relations and Transportation departments helping with check-in, set-up, office operations, and management of fan interactions with artists such as CD signings. Anyone with an interest in dealing with behind the scenes artists action that can handle themselves in a professional manor without getting star-struck are ideal. (Available PRE-Show and DURING-Show)"
Be sure to tell us your experiences after Roo. I'm tempted to do prefest at some point in the future.
Anyone here signed up to be a GuRoo? I've had people online ask me if I was. I do like to help a lot...
Anyone jump the gun with Ellie's link like me? I still havent been accepted and Im starting to worry a bit because I freak out about things like that... I still have no idea why I was not on the original volunteer list from WET, I volunteered with them for 2 years, as well as bonnaroo for 2 before WET was around... so I figured it wouldnt hurt anything??
Maybe it is because I said I would be interested in the GuRoo thing??

Call them. They're very quick and helpful. My bf didn't get his either, called, and even got them to assign a croo right there

Yep, I jumped the gun and used Ellie's link. But, it all went fine. I sent my desposit in yesterday afternoon and am waiting for my job. Good luck.

I did call, they said it is probably because I put GuRoo on the application and that if I had not heard anything over the weekend to call them Monday and they would take care of it. Thanks for the quick responses though!
I know I will get accepted at some point, or be able to buy a ticket if not. Howver, I also did this for two of my friends and didnt want to mess things up for them more than anything!
Just got email confirmation: Toll Booths. Ellie, I'll be hounding you for advice . I'll be driving a pick-up truck. So, if anyone else on here gets toll booths or parking and you are flying into Nashville and need anything brought in (water, beer, etc), let me know. David
