I always figured it's because there is much more planning and commitment when it comes to going to Roo, that people take longer to commit to getting tickets.
Many more people travel to Roo than the other fests, because it is not so close to the metropolises like LA or Chicago, respectively.
I could be completely wrong, but it seems like the case to me. I know that's why our group always takes forever to buy our tickets.
Lolla hasn't released the lline up yet, and it's completely sold out already.. Roo, with a kick ass line up, is having difficulties selling tickets?!!!

What's the problem here? Location?
Location is part of it. Lolla and Coachella are in or near major metro areas. Also, like onion said, Bonnaroo is a much more intense festival weather and planning wise which may scare off some people.
Roo is completely different than the other 2. Lolla is exclusively hotels, and has a 10MM pool of casual fans who will go. Coach has LA nearby, and is mostly hotel commuters.
Since it is camping and not near a metropolis, that means casual fans are out, as well as most families with kids, people who hate camping, etc etc.
This thread shows up every year. IMO, this self selection is one of the things that makes Roo unique and creates the vibe we all enjoy. It is hard to Roo, since there is no escaping roo. It is not hard to walk across the street to a hotel room or to get in a car and be home within an hour.

I think it is just a limited number of three day passes they release to make more revenue off of single day sales. This started happening when ACL began selling one day passes too. The three days were gone before you knew it.

Single day tickets go on sale when the line up is announced. There are lots and lots of single day tickets, and they generally take months to sell out.
Please have some clue what you're talking about before starting a thread.
Roo either sells out, or it doesn't. Whether or not it sells out has absolutely no impact on how this year's Roo will go. It will impact future Roo's if they don't make their profit as expected, but you can calm the hell down with the embarrassment. It's a music festival, not your parents.

Is this your first year knowing about Bonnaroo? It's similar to this every year. Tickets don't usually sell out for Roo even though they do sell a ton of them.
I haven't read the entire thread but you can not even begin to compare Roo ticket sales to Lolla or Coachella. Like someone else said Roo takes much more of a commitment (Traveling, Camping, Weather etc.) than any of the city fest which I am including Coachella in being so close to LA. Roo is far and away one of the major players in the festival scene. It sets a lot of bars for other festivals.

Just a guess here. The Roo usually doesn't sell out just like that because anyone who pays attention: The Roo never (ok once right) sells out. People have a bit more of a logical brain and don't just jump on tics no matter who plays because they know "that" fest will sell out. We are more chill I guess I'm saying. Also for years I went with the "Roo middle of no where". With Nashville blowing up somewhat, and Atlanta, I think that may not be as big as reason as it were in the beginning. cr****
