Nevaaaaar, I want MikeGs head on a platter and I want the firefly media team to serve it!!!! Plus there has to be some way for us to get to 100 and this is our ticket people don't you see!?!? *crazed face*
WTF did I do now? I haven't been on the computer all day. Jeez....
Well, both sites with people I was staying with were in premier- one north and one south. I did prefer the south premier more. I was close to the entrance on both sides, but I liked the south hub more (more going on) and the fact that I didn't feel so separate from the rest of the festival on the south. That being said, it was by no means a small number of people in the north premier site- just that without the festival being open, you had to walk 5 miles of cornfield or something to get to the other side. Thursday before the festival opened was a LONG day with nothing to do- hopefully they will fix that for this year. We went back to our campsites a lot during the days, so being close to the entrances was worth it for us. One plus side to the north premier was lines being a significant amount shorter to enter the festival (less people overall).
If you don't mind the walking and don't really need to go back to your campsite during the day, then you really have no reason for premier. But it is only $20 more. I can't lie and say I don't hope I get a south premier site again this year because I certainly do, but I wouldn't complain with north. As long as there's something to do before Thursday at 5.
Wait wait... I thought for sure all premier were forced to park in the north lot? I would have definetly done premier had I known I could be put in the south camping area. I'm probably coming up we'd night either way. Last year I just stayed at red roof and got right in line across the street in the morning. But anyway that would change things a lot if I was able to stay in the south camping area we'd night.
Most of the premier camping was on the north lot, but there were one or two small areas just outside the southern entrance that were designated as premier too. We got close to the front of north premier by getting there right at 5 on Wednesday. My friends who ended up in the south premier arrived around midnight- there were very limited spots in their lot, and I'm not sure if there actually was another premier lot in the south or if that was the RV camping. The south premier last year was to the left of the bridge if you were crossing from the hub to the festival. There were maybe 200-250 spots there. They got lucky with their spot- I'm assuming if you get there too late with premier you just get in general.

I was wed RV camping last year. There was absolutely no order to much of being assigned spots. First we were told we weren't allowed any cars on our spot at all and we'd have to park in a companion lot. All said and done we managed an RV and two cars on our spot. We got lucky though because we got an end spot that actually had a few extra feet of space. They did say if there wasn't enough room and you got there late you'd get general. I think the reason why people got general is honestly because some of the volunteers were so incompetent that they were having people take up two camping spots (at least that's what it looked like in RV).
This year I'm hoping for premier RV camping so we can get the hook-ups. That's another FYI. if anyone here is planning to rent an RV and hasn't done so yet i'd recommend doing it. The cruise america location in Chester PA is already sold out for that week .

Look at you guys posting legitimate things about firefly in this thread! Truly amazing that we have got to this point, and right up on the behind of page 100, so proud!
I was in the South Premier 2013 when it was the only Premier area. We were located to the right of the bridge, within sight of the festival entrance. Arrived around 6.
2014, the premier camping exploded and I'd venture to say the North Lot (where we ended up) was about 5 times the size of the south lot. We arrived around 6 again, waited around 2 hours to get parked. We ended up being around 1/2 mile from the entrance in the north lot as opposed to 500 feet (south lot 2013).
I'd wager if you have a good GA parking spot just across the bridge you will be close than about half of the north premier lot.
So, even when you do premier camping, sometimes that puts you in a worse spot than GA camping?
I've never done GA so I don't know the difference, but some people who got to the north lot later were pretty far from the festival entrance- I wouldn't quite say a ten minute walk, but more than five. The lines were still shorter on the north side.
I was planning on doing Premiere but I wanted to be in the South lot so I could go to the Hub if I needed... so it sounds like I should get there late Wednesday night.

The north lot does have its own hub, though the south one is bigger.
Eh, 5-10 is nothing, in my opinion. I think more than 15 starts to feel laborious (e.g. some camping spots at Roo), but five or ten is fine. Most GA camping is only that far?
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

We got there maybe around 6ish also. We were only coming from about 40 minutes away though so we got there quick. The traffic wasn't bad at all on wednesday honestly until we actually pulled into the "field". I mean that's really the only way I can describe it. we waited in this RV line for probably about an hour. We went to several "stations" of really stoned/drunk Volunteers that were really "doing their best" at figuring out where we should go. We were over the bridge from the main hub. The best thing was we were right by the entrance.

Dont get too comfortable. Once the lineup comes out all hell will prob break loose again I'm sure. Then again this "last signature" or whatever seem limit will take until after the Super Bowl so I guess we have a little bit of time left.

It's possible I don't exactly remember of the amount of walking I did to the back of the north lot. I remember thinking it was a lot of walking, and that I wouldn't want to be camping back there. However, my friends who camped GA in 2013 said they walked ~30 minutes from their spot to the festival. Not sure what time they got there or what lot they got but it must not have been good, haha. It was definitely less than 20-30 minutes of walking last year premier.

North hub had these charming showers too. Straight out of Auschwitz.

Never even bothered with that place, the lines were horrible and paying for something shitzy like that is a no go for me, I'll fill up a bottle and pour it on me!

Any time I went to the north hub I never did see where the showers were. I showered in the south hub and was actually surprised by how nice they were (nice for my expectations at least).

I'll take it, I somehow haven't been able to catch him before. I'd take anything at this point, just trying to figure out if Roo or Firefly is the next stop after Coachella. I really do hope the Logic booking on the fake was just just that. Money can be spent much better elsewhere. Joey Bada$$, Flatbush Zombies, Your Old Droog, Prhyme, Gibbs and Madlib. High quality cheaper acts are out there.

I'd say I was roughly in the middle of the general camping, right by one of the tree lines where there was a camper made pass across a small stream to the RV side (if anyone remembers that). From my spot it was prob about a 15-20 minute walk. The people at the end all the way by the street.... Yea they probably have a 30 minute walk.

I too bottle showered. I only saw the showers because i walked up to fill my "shower jugs" and watched as my friends were entombed in the steal containers that were allegedly "showers". 5 bucks for a lukewarm shower and someone's dirty tampon on the ground (yes that really happened) i'll take that jug shower any day. I paid for one shower the whole time and honestly i think i felt cleaner with my jug showers i took for the rest of the week.

Well we already know were getting RTJ but I doubt it will be rap heavy, your best bet would be roo if you are comparing just the two. But firefly could surprise, who knows.
