I am seriously considering doing this (My top 3 would be: Pearl Jam, Phil & Friends, or Plant/Krauss, just to possibly meet Robert Plant and possibly get his autograph on my Zeppelin T-Shirt which already has Jason Bonham's autograph on it from the O2/London show) However, it seems as though you can have a different top 3 for your stage viewing (live show from side stage) and your radio show (sit in the radio broadcast room with the band) so I probably wouldn't put Plant/Krauss in my live show top 3, maybe something fun for late night like Disco Biscuits, Tiesto, or Umphrey's.
I am only one person though and this is an auction for two people. If anyone would be willing the throw down on this, please let me know, you can PM me here or email me directly at ianshowfan@gmail.com
I think this would be the ultimate in Bonnaroo experiences, Not only do you get to be on the stage for a show, but you get:
Two (2) VIP tickets to Bonnaroo 2008 Invitation to watch a (1) performance from special side stage viewing platforms Opportunity to view a (1) backstage radio performances (Bonnaroo will provide a large selection of shows and radio performances to choose from. Package winners will choose their top 3 shows and get to see one of them.) Invitation to view artist backstage press conferences (as many as you want) All regular VIP ticket amenities including access to VIP hospitality area, with catered buffet, beer, & soft drinks Private restroom facilities Preferred camping area access Commemorative Bonnaroo 2008 merchandise package
I called stubhub directly, who called bonnaroo and confirmed that this package does also come with access to as many backstage press conferences as you want to attend, as well as unlimited access to the backstage lounge/bar area. I do not know if it allows you directly behind the stages (ie. the backstage entrances on the sides of the stage which lead to dressing rooms/etc) but it will allow you to hang in the shady grove of trees which they turn into a backstage bar/lounge with nice couches, etc.
At this point the auction is up to about $950 per person, so when contacting me, please let me know what your maximum amount you'd spend on this would be.
I bid at 2200. You can believe that I am no trustafarian (that is funny) but I am a HUGE pearl jam fan and the possibility of meeting them is worth a ton of money to me. I would have gladly gone higher, but when I got outbid at 2205 and tried to raise my cieling, it wouldn't let me due to an error "processing" my credit card. I'm pretty bummed, but theres another auction ending a week from today.....so what do you say to doin a guy a favor and just uhh not bidding guys?
addendum to that post - it was already addressed on this board but I didn't find any clear resolution...do normal VIP ticket holders get access to the "backstage" area?

bigj870, NO. Normal VIP ticket holders get ZERO access beyond the special "no search" entrance and guaranteed close camping.
Question for you also bigj870, do you have a second person to take with you, or are you looking for a partner for this Pearl Jam awesomeness? I too would be willing to pay the amount they went for this time, but am only one person, let me know.
Weekapaung, I'm sorry, but yes, my buddy and I had planned to go. You are correct, this is going to be Pearl Jam awesomeness. I know this sounds bad, am seriously considering trying to pay off some security guys to let me just say hello and thank you if I don;t win these tickets.
And these will not come with "Backstage access"....the press conferences they are refering to will prolly be the ones the media have access to which are in the press tent...which is in the "Backstage" area next to the VIP catering tent....but not "backstage"....BIG DIFF trust me....

Hot fucking damn...I convinced a family member to front the money to buy a set of the backstage tickets. This now means my social life and spontaneous spending has come to a screeching halt for the next 2 months. I bought them directly instead of the auction and am glad I did because I just checked StubHub and the direct purchase price has increased $500. $1250 per ticket up to $1500 so I'd guess that it will increase again with each sale.
None of the people I usually attend Roo with are willing to cough up the $1350 for a single ticket so here I am with an extra. It's not officially for sale yet unless you're a hot chick with big boobs and awesome tattoos. I would like to sell it and take that money and buy a set of regular VIP tickets and sell those as singles to my friends that can't afford the pair.
The problem I'm foreseeing and I hope someone might be able to give me some info before I call StubHub and Bonnaroo is that I was not given the option to purchase a DVD nor did it ask if I wanted to upgrade to RV. I'm hoping this is included since the price was pretty hefty.
Yeah I'll be the guy dancing and singing his ass off as I overlook the Allman Brothers...hells yeah!!!
