1. Get rid of whatever that god awful thing was next to the other tent. The sound bleed was awful. 2. Not sure how to do this or if this is possible, but make the water not taste like ass sweat. 3. The pit line on the What needs to be more organized. The free for all at Kanye became dangerous at times bc they had no idea what to do.

The sulfur water and the What pit rush cannot be improved, gotta get over it big guy.

Hi, perhaps a better divider between VIP and GA at Which. I saw several people completely eat it (pretty sure they hurt themselves) when they tried to jump over.

Also, may not be a popular one with the masses but raise the age limit. This is no place for a baby or little children. They can call it family festival all they want but these babies need the comfort of their home not sitting in the heat. I saw one woman at Cage the Elephant with a newborn. She was in GA, in the heat, with an umbrella surrounded by people smoking pot. I am sorry but someone can push her and the baby. The heat is detrimental for babies. What are these women thinking? So many things can go wrong. An infant can die in those conditions. If I am extremely uncomfortable in the heat/sun I cannot even phantom what those poor children are going through. There is no need to put babies through that strife.
Then I saw a lady walking around with a line of like 5 toddlers tied to a rope? What the fuck?
Have the app update when there are schedule changes, and have those schedule changes more apparent. I got the text alerts from Twitter, but a lot of people were shocked to find out about Frank Ocean/Skrillex SJ change after they had been camped out for a while.

Yeah the notifications I got were like "full up at the fountain!" and "you're at That Tent!" when I really would have liked ones like "Check out this surprise set at the Teva Tent".
First off, find a way to get me the fuck off the farm. Letting people leave should not be a challenge. Not a big one, anyways.
I agree that the What pit line was a cluster. Simply extend the barricades, leaving a couple of gaps for "through" traffic. The amount of people joining the pit line at the barricade entrance was early uncool.
Get security on the same page as the signage for what you can bring in to Centeroo and update it if you're making policy changes. They were confiscating blankets and misting fans this year?
I was confused when I saw those children tethered to the rope as well. It was much too hot for them to be out there.
The biggest glaring issue I have is that there are times no places to sit, free from the constant onslaught of the sweltering heat, and to rest tired out worn feet.
I saw so many hammocks this year and feel like Bonnaroo should install their own hammocks around the grounds. It's a great way to relax and beat the heat.
A Hammock Only camping space should be considered. Countless people ditched their tents and cars altogether and slept, hung from trees, in hammocks in Centeroo. Such a great idea. I won a hammock from Clean Vibes Trading Post and will be using it at Roo as long as possible. I only packed a bookbag this go around and still felt weighed down.
There needs to be more than one ENO hammock merchant tent as well. Those things are clutch.

There is a hammock tent in VIP that is super clutch. I know some people from our group slept in them overnight on at least one occasion. If that were in Centeroo, though, it would be mobbed.
- The new register your wrist band on Microsoft. The direct upload link to Facebook worked fine, quit trying to make it worse to make a buck - Great micro-beers, and then they offer you Coors at the stages...this was criminal - The don't allow blankets/mist fans (which do not have a negative affect on anyone), but keep allowing 20 foot poles with flags that block peoples view..... - Trying to post a picture on your phone would drive you crazy with the poor service quality - It's time to invest in screens at the three tents so everyone can see
-Lastly, The process of lost and found. GF and I lost two pieces of ID on Thursday night. We reported and filled out the paperwork with contact info that evening (including cell number). After no call back all weekend, I decided to check in Sunday evening before we left (on a hope), and find out they have been sitting there since Thursday night and no one bothered to call to let us know. Five people working the tent, both times there, and not one call..really?
I noticed the bass at every stage was turned up wayyyy more than last year, which caused some of the other instruments to be drained out (or the opposite in seasick steve's case, the set where it was most essential.) Hopefully the mixing is better next year
And of course adding screens at tents, had to leave some desired shows because of crowds. Overall this year had so much improvments, that bridge to What was fantastic

This seems to be the way it is every damn year. Like security changes on a whim. I had sealed 5 hour energy bottles confiscated one year. Antacids another time. It's really stupid and should be simple as sh!t to keep things uniform across all days and people working. And yes, if they're going to make changes they should announce them.
That whole confiscating misting fans thing was stupid. They said it was because people can use them to spray acid on people and I laughed. The only way you could bring it in is if you took out the straw inside, which makes it useless.
Keep the VIP bathrooms in Centeroo open all night.
They were. You had to know to go around the back and get to them that way.
And WTF was up with taking people's blankets? I could not believe my eyes when I saw all of those at the check points. Every year they two steps forward and one step back.

For starters, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF HUMANITY quit putting bigger drawing acts in The Miller Lite On Tap Lounge or better yet, MOVE IT and spread it out. The Oswalds had people HANGING/STANDING from the top of the tent, also the fans knocked down the barricade rail and they lost power at their set. Poor planning for an act who had been on Late Night w/Letterman TWICE!
Monster Truck (for which I was on the rail) had a crowd that extended way past the tent as did Animals as Leaders. Monster Truck had to mention to stop pushing people into the rail (which did not help much but hey, they tried) because of lack of room! I loved the lineup on this stage but with those ridiculous bleachers, it made it feel like we were stacked on top of each other.
Put a sign (or a marker) to let people know where Cafe Where is located. Some OUTSTANDING music took place their during Roo 2014 and there are people who still have no idea where it is located.
