VIP Price Increase

Since this is my first Roo, and we're going VIP, I guess the adage "you don't know what you're missing" can apply. The things that persuaded me to scrounge up the dough for the VIP ticket were numerous. A tshirt and poster would be fantastic, but to echo Roo vet responses, closer viewing was a top contender in the pros list. (Along with access to A/C, showers, expedited entry into Centeroo, closer proximity to the action, larger camp "lot", etc.) I think it all boils down to perspective, yo! Then, the nerdy economist in me thinks about all the other saved expenses such as fuel since we have the "private" map to avoid the Interstate.

It's time we start thinking positive! The VIP pit WILL remain for us to enjoy! (RIGHT BONNAROO????!)

!!! Yes can a vet chime in here? i see what your talking about.

Its easier to see if you turn off all the pins. 


Edit: If you go to the right where the wristband graphic is it still says 2012 on that wristband tho. 

Yeah, the map is not updated in the app yet. I'm guessing if it still says VIP viewing area when it's updated, we're good. In 2011, it showed bleachers on the map, further back. If those return.....

It does, but it doesn't say how close, but I'd say its promising that nothing has changed from last year

VIP at What is great for chillin'. Not a prime viewing spot by any means, but it's nice to have an open space to sit, dance, drink, do whatever you want without interference from the usually rampant What stage traffic.

Depends on how you wanna rock at Paul! I enjoyed the hell out of Arcade Fire from the Hill, but that's just because I was in a state where I wanted space and the ability to sit down if I needed to. You can hear perfectly and the view of the stage and screens is completely unobstructed. But you are still a few hundred feet away from the stage. If you wanna see facial details of the performers, probably best to break free from the VIP confines and aim to get closer.

Plus, you can't beat the view of the crowd from the Hill during a headliner show: looking out over a sea of 80,000+ people gives you a unique perspective. The only other view that comes close is the ferris wheel...

Basically, if you want to SEE a show, watch from the Hill; if you want to EXPERIENCE a show, be in the crowd. You'll have a far more comfortable time at the former, especially if you're not a fan of the "packt like sardines in a crushed tin box " feeling.

You received a VIP pamphlet? All I received regarding VIP in mine was the tag to hang in your car and the vouchers for the merchandise tent.

The t-shirts and posters are still included! Just got this email:

Thank you for purchasing VIP tickets for the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival.

As part of your Bonnaroo VIP package purchase, one Bonnaroo Tshirt and one poster will be available for each ticket holder at the festival. Upon arriving on-site, each VIP ticket holder will receive a voucher for their tshirt & poster, which can be redeemed at the Information Trailer in the VIP Campground.

However, to ensure the proper shirts are available, we need you to select the quantities and sizes you need. Go here to select your t-shirt sizes.

Thank you for taking the time to complete our Tshirt selection survey, and see you at Bonnaroo!

yay! just came to add this. I know the content is in a post above but this is a lovely picture

Well I am glad that VIP still has it's perks and that I WILL be getting my tshirt & poster! Come on, it's the little things in life!

But I really hope this VIP viewing area that I hear about is back this year because we didn't make it to 'Roo last year we didn't get to check it out. There are DEFINITELY a few shows I would love to see up close!
