The Official Bonnaroo 2010 Coachella Board thread

[TommyboyUNM]

I suppose it's about that time.

[Young blood]

Hi Tommy. Randy is a pussy huh? I want to fight him the next time I see him.

[Gribbz]

Oh hey.

[TommyboyUNM]

Hi Justin. Randy is definitely a pussy. I almost fought him, but then didn't. How do you like Colorado? It's snowing here in Albuquerque. I like snow. Do you? What's your favorite weather? Anyway, keep in touch.

[Young blood]

<3! Tommy & Bonnaroo. See you soon.

Bonnaroo 2007 was my first year, The Farm gave me a home when Coachella and the RATM fanatics shut me out. I have gone every year since then even though I wasnt so crazy about the past 2 lineups. The experience is worth the trip alone.

I love Bonnaroo with all my heart but will not be making it next year. Euro Trip and Glastonbury are calling out my name. I wish it were possible to do both but sadly its not. You crazy kids have fun for me and ill back in 2011 (hopefully)

So, if the 2nd weekend in June trend holds and it's June 10-13, that conflicts with 3/5 of finals week--first travel day included. Lame. Regardless, my inclination is still to buy a pre-sale ticket in December and make it work via begging, bribery, blackmail or sexual favors.

[feather]

YES YES YES YES!

[amyzzz]

Randy didn't stop by y'all's places?

I already have a headache. Sorry Tommy, you'll have to handle yourself tonight.

Don't play with my emotions.

I'm personally hoping Roo has a shitty line up and an even worse schedule this year than last. I need to money for Massive Attack.

[Sushov23]

The lineup wasn't my fav this year, and the schedule was shit, but I still had a blast at Bonnaroo this year. That sums up how great of an experience Bonnaroo is, and pending a lineup I'll be there.

This would get me to the Roo.

[LooseAtTheZoo]

I will be buying a pre-sale ticket for sure. I'm guessing it won't be terribly difficult to unload if some unforseen circumstances arise.

About what time do they announce the dates again?

[boarderwoozel3]

They announced the dates and held the pre sale in the first week of Dec. last year. And unlike some other festivals, they seem consistent on these kinds of things.

[amyzzz]

Roo's time of the year is the BEST time for me to travel to festivals because it's right in the middle of my kids' summer vacation, so I would like to go if I can. Line-up would have to be amazing though.

[Alligator Bogaloo]

It's post Boss time! Just waiting patiently for presale tickets to go on sale. I'm also glad there won't be any Phish this year.

[feather]

I'm debating if I should do the presale or not. I think I will just wait for the lineup.

[SoulDischarge]

You don't know that.

[softbulletin]

They better not get Phish again.

One of the things going on with Bonnaroo right now is a rift between audiences. If you were there this year especially there was a noticeable split between hippies and the rest. Bonnaroo walks a fine line between appealing to the original audience that built up the festival and branching out.

One of the bones they have historically thrown to the 2002-2005 Bonnaroo audience is the Sunday jam headliner. This year they just happened to have them play twice.

In any case I'm hoping they just put together a lineup that is just a little bit better than this year, and instead of a jam Sunday closer get Neil Young.

Just please no Widespread Panic.

but what if prince is there playing a regular set AND a late-night set?

i might pick up a presale and then try to un-load it if i decide not to go, like gonsh stated. shouldn't be too hard to get rid of, unless you wait til the last second.

Elaborate on this "rift." I didn't notice any bad vibes this year between anybody. I saw 5 minutes of Phish and left. I couldn't gone the entire weekend, had a blast, and not even noticed Phish was there.

[SoulDischarge]

It wasn't an aggressive rift or anything but you could definitely split the attendees into two groups pretty neatly: there for Phish and there for everything else.

[liquidsnake28]

Instead?

There's tons of exceptions to that too. Just from this board, Gonshman and I were there for lots of different bands. Phish just happened to be one of them.

[SoulDischarge]

Definitely. I just imagine the jam band crowd and the indie rock crowd were both respectively bigger than combined crowd. I'm not sure where Springsteen fits in there . . .

[liquidsnake28]

The Boss was the token headliner for older people this year like Tom Petty and The Police.

[LooseAtTheZoo]

I'm debating if I should do the presale or not. I think I will just wait for the lineup.

Go for it! I remember it being almost one hundred dollars cheaper, definitely worth it.

I'm for sure doing presale. The savings are worth it.

But how does one unload a ticket on ebay if you don't receive the physical copy until two weeks before?

[Alligator Bogaloo]

You don't know that.

It's a pretty safe bet. They've never had the same headliner two years in a row. Every year is different. Same with pretty much every festival.

[liquidsnake28]

Not true. Widespread Panic.
