Agreed. I just didn't want to think on it too hard last night when I was posting haha but I'm gonna think of good artist comparisons to post later.
So in the presale, we couldn't snag camping...guess that means those don't go on sale till Monday? Will premier sell out that day probably?
Yup, premier and general camping will go on sale (along with general admission tickets) on Monday. Premier seems to be in high demand, so it wouldn't surprise me if it sells out Monday. It will probably take a few hours because the premier camping area is enormous. Here's an aerial view someone posted on the FF message board:

Wow I had no idea Premier camping was that big. I honestly thought it was only a small portion of that, like the bottom square(ish) on the right. It would seem as though if you are on the top right portion the walk to the entrance wouldn't be much better than in the South camping, although I guess it's tough to judge without looking at an aerial of the South camping.

How big are the camping spots? I assume they have to be a little bigger than what you get for one car at Roo, since the capacity is six?
One nice thing about FF is the camping spots are painted on the grass so you know what space is yours. Roo is just get out quick and try to take up as much room as possible as quickly as possible

Each spot is suppose to be 10 feet wide by 30 feet deep, although often times you'll end up with more space depending on where you end up in the camping grounds. It's a pretty good amount of space actually. You should be able to easily fit your car, two medium sized tents, and an easy up tent/canopy.

The camping spots are pretty solid. We had a group of 10 last year, so we bought 3. We had enough space where we could put 2 tents, 2 cars, and had extra space for a grilling/hangout area. Just make sure you bring a few canopies for shade and you have a perfect spot for relatively cheap.
Looking at that aerial photo of Premier, the Hub is in the middle of the picture. The east festival entrance is at the bottom right. The main stage is just out of the picture, but it's very close to that festival entrance.
The longest walk from that Premier lot is only about a quarter of a mile. That's still shorter than even the shortest walk from General, which is about a third of a mile. (The longest walk from General camping to the festival entrance is about 1.2 miles.)

My hatred of premier last year was that it was an extra day camping, which meant an extra day of drinking.. and since you couldn't go into the fest until 5 or so it meant an extra long morning/afternoon of drinking. Yes, it was great, but damn were we struggling come Sunday morning.

You can find me in glamping this year.
1st World Problems Haha. Im gonna try out Premier this year. $20 more and an extra day of camping plus being closer to the fun. I'm going to Roo the week before so an extra day of camping is fine with me.
How far of a walk is it from Premier to the grocery/liquor store that everyone has been talking about? I know it is likely quite a trek, but could you feasibly make that journey sometime Thursday afternoon during that free time, or do you literally HAVE to stay quarantined in Premier until 5:00?

It's honestly a couple miles. I'd just try to pack as much or more than you think you'll need. You don't want to start your weekend off on a 5 mile walk with provisions on the way back.

It is prob a 2 or 3 mile walk. They did have school buses shuttling people back and forth to the Acme every now and then so that cut down the travel time, but the buses only ran occasionally and they were non-existent on Sunday when we had to get our friends with single day tickets from Saturday back to their cars in the Parking lot by the race track.
We started to walk it though and found that some local residents were driving people back and forth as far as they could from the North Entrance down to the South Entrance until they hit the road closures by the south entrance. They did charge us like 10 bucks a pop or something for the ride but it was totally worth it.

Same here going to roo and firefly, premier is beyond worth it, did it last year and wouldn't do it another way this go around.

Were the porto lineups in premier as bad as they were in general? It was unbelievable.. I took to this little spot in the woods instead that was pretty nearby. I'm shameless..
For those curious about camping space in general: you get LOTS of room. We had 2 large tents, a canopy, and a slip and slide

See that whole section to the right that's empty in the picture above, I have a feeling they will be opening up more spaces for camping this year in that spot. Although we all know the cartoon map is not perfect, it looks to me like they are sliding the hub to the left most side and with a post at the back and to the right most side of things.
Edit: you need to rotate the cartoon picture roughly 30 degrees counterclockwise to match up with the live photo

Sounds like a a great way for some teenagers to set up an illegal taxi service.

Be really careful with rides and taxis for sure. The only official crime reported at firefly last year (according to the news journal) was a dude who got robbed by one of those people on the bicycle taxis. I think he was robbed at knife point or something.

Aye aye, More excited for my second time back on the farm than for macca in all honesty, hope that comment doesn't lynch me. But anyways, hope to see you out there at roo, I'll share some corn with yah
We ran into those same locals while making the 4 mile walk. They were also asking for $10 a head. Such a rip off. Their were 5 of us. We offered her just $10. But she said no. We all agreed we'd rather endure the walk than give that woman $50 for a less than 4 min drive.

4 miles. I measured it last year when we accidentally brought a charcoal grill and had no charcoal.
That's....really quite long. Damn. What about bringing a bicycle attached to our car? With a little basket for bringing stuff back! Haha now I'm dreaming big

Apparently my "free" ticket I won doesn't include the SIXTY-SIX DOLLARS in shipping and processing fees. Good ol' RedFrog.
Damn, that's some pretty high fees. Pretty sure higher than any other fest I've been to. Wonder how much additional processing fees they'll charge for the camping portion.

This is my 3rd trip to the farm and I love it. However after you see Macca you will think back on how awesome the performance is for months afterwards
