I highly recommend upgrading if you can arrive Wednesday. It's definitely worth it to avoid the traffic hassle and be closer to the gate. Though I will admit this is my first time in the North camping area so don't know what to expect up there. Last year I had an RV so even with premier we were down in the south lot.
If you are in GA camping though it is cool to check out the speedway area. I'm not into nascar at all but was impressed with how huge and surprised how banked the speedway really is. You're "technically" not supposed to go in but they leave the walkways wide open near the bathrooms.

Everyone is out there talking like Premier is the greatest thing ever... I did Premier (North) last year, it was ehh. Frankly 2013's "Front Row" was way better, so much closer to the gate. To those of you in general, don't fret - it's fine I did that in 2012. Honestly, how many times do you guys go back to your campsites throughout the day? I've gone back I think twice in three years once I've already gone in for the day. The walk from the Lawn Stage to our tent last year had to be at least 30 minutes alone.
That said, if you can snag a spot near the entrance I can't blame you. I just hated that one extra night of camping.. first year = 2 nights, Friday, Saturday; second year = 4 nights, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday; third year = 5 nights, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.. too much for me.

I didn't mind general last year. The walk made no difference to me. My friends won't be in until Thursday and I'm not about to deal with getting their stuff all the way to premier. I stayed at the hotel wed night last year and it worked fine. No traffic issues at all since it's right at the entrance.
You're not alone. I couldn't get my friends to do premier with me (they couldn't make it wednesday night).
Last year we had a pretty bad spot in GA, so I don't think my walk can be any longer than last year. Was really hoping to get to hop back to the camp site whenever I want rather than staying in the fest all day every day, but oh well. I'm not going to bum myself about such a small thing

So this week we got new music from two potential future headliners. Which single do you guys like better Mumford's or Muse's? & Which would you rather see headline in the future? Someone in this thread earlier said Muse didn't fit Firefly's demographic and wouldn't be on their radar. After seeing past headliners like Tom Petty I'd have to disagree.

yay for going! and yay for coercing friends to join! I might do Friday of Gov Ball alone; if so, we can be ~alone together~ #poetic
Which acts make you want to go to Friday most?
First and foremost, Florence. I would be going for her - she is the act that I am most bummed about missing by not being able to make it to Roo this year. But I'm also really down to see Chromeo, MMJ, St. Vincent, Ratatat, the Decembrists, Odesza, and Rudimental. MO and Diiv and the Districts too. That's a stacked day, wow. I'm going to wait and see what the schedule looks like when it is released, then make my decision.
I'm excited I snagged Premier, but I am sure it doesn't make that much of a difference after all is said and done - though I am definitely hoping for a spot with not a far walk. A few people said that GA is where stufffff is sold though, not really in Premier. Hope that isn't entirely true.
As for Mumford vs Muse, absolutely Muse. I think Mumford's new track is horrendous.

How difficult would it be to park your vehicle on Thursday and just take your book-bag out of the vehicle and meet your group in premier for the weekend?
4 nights of camping is about my limit. If I have reason to stay Sunday night then that's what I'm looking to do. If there is nothing that interest me past 7 on Sunday then I plan on getting an early start home and just coming up Wednesday night.

As long as you just have clothes in a book bag, it wouldnt be difficult at all. You can cut through the actual fest grounds.
I've seen Muse (wish I had seen them in their earlier albums instead of The Resistance tour blargh). I think mumford would be fun, but Muse is way more interesting and versatile. Plus Matt Bellamy is one of the most talented musicians I've ever seen (writing, keys, guitar, vocals all A+).
Check out their early stuff if any of you have only heard their most recent (5 years or so) music.

Honestly I would want both
I'm for Muse 100000000000% I saw them when I was in middle school open up for My Chem and they blew my mind. Been trying to see them again ever since. I like some of Mumford's older stuff, but I feel they'd be a total snooze fest live. I can't say I'm a huge fan of the new single either.

Good to know.
I would prefer to go up Wednesday evening and come back late on Sunday. The Nats are in town that Wednesday, and although I'm not a DC sports guy...I like to take any opportunity I can to catch a MLB game. I know DC is only like 2 hours from Dover, and it wouldn't be out of our way. Have to wait till the schedule comes out I suppose.

Very possible the game would get shown in the Dogfish Head tent, I would email and ask!

Wouldn't quite be like being in the ballpark, but it would save some money and be nice to already have camp setup.

The Districts are Rock and Roll Hotel in DC on 3/27, I've been thinking about going...

Are your friends that you're meeting up with at FF also coming from DC? Because if they're not, so you can't hand off your things to them beforehand, and you're worried about having too much stuff to carry from your car over to Premier on Thursday, I could probably help you out there - I live in in DC and will be going up Wednesday, camping in Premier. Just a thought. Though don't try to like throw tents and grills and shit in my car hahaha we won't have THAT much extra room.

Yeah I saw that! Rock and Roll is such a hike from me (I live up by Tenleytown), but I've pondered going too.

More than likely everybody in my group is going to have to travel past my college town (Radford), so I don't think it would be a problem to unload my heavy stuff with them.
Thank you though! If something unexpected occurs...I know who to get up with.
Yeah I saw that! Rock and Roll is such a hike from me (I live up by Tenleytown), but I've pondered going too.
A hike for you? I'm coming from Harrisburg, PA! But it's my fault because I missed them when they were in Lancaster and Philly.
Hahahha okay you are correct, much more of a hike for you! That's commitment though, wow. Makes me feel stoopid for complaining about how it'd be a 30/40 minute drive for me. Still definitely considering it.

Is that tent like a sports tent of sorts?
Well they just serve craft beer in there. But their are tvs everywhere. Last year they were showing the World Cup games. Don't remember any other sports, but I was usually pretty hammered.

Will take it over to the GovBall thread but you teased on aftershows...
You'll probably see me there, I'll be in the guy in premier running around trying to get 50 on 50 flip cup going haha that's been a bucket lister for me at FF. In regards to your challenge, I'm not too bad myself, however I do my talking on the court (table?)
Court? Table? Field? All work fine haha. You'll be in premier, or GA?
I'll say this - I camped general in 2013 and my walk was ~-1.3 miles EACH WAY. Well worth the extra 25-30.
