Title: Bonnaroo Music Festival 2006.
Post by: FatalXception on April 05, 2006, 08:28:56 AM

I got my ticket! (http://www.bonnaroo.com/2006/)

A little while ago, actually... of course, had to, to see Radiohead on their only North America stop this year.  3 days of camping and music, with lots of great bands (Radiohead, Tom Petty, Oysterhead, Cypress Hill, Ben Folds, Sonic Youth, just to name a few).  It\'s going to be a helluva drive for me and my 2 Canadian buddies going down to Tennessee by car, we figure 15-18 hours total, but utterly worth it, I hope.

I can\'t justify the cost. I\'d go in a heartbeat if it didn\'t cost so damn much.

Yikes, those tickets are expensive as hell.

Not as expensive as my pedestrian seats for Paul McCartney last year. $225/seat.

Bonnaroo would be worth going to if I cared about more than 3 or 4 (RH, TP, Beck) of the artists.

When I bought our tix a little while about they were about 15% cheaper than now, and as I understand they\'re going to go up again in a few weeks.... but remember, it\'s THREE days with camping too.

I know that.

I also know that only a fraction of one of those days is worth my time!

I wasn\'t really talking about the riots but the cause of the riots...aka insanely high pricing of everything.  (yeah yeah, I know it was also because the youth of today is violent and all the crap.)


My friend is going to it.  I envy him.  I do not envy him paying 200 dollars a ticket.

They\'ve promised free access to \'essential\' facilities, and \'reasonable\' prices from various vendors for food and items.  Of course, reasonable being a subjective label, I (like most others I\'m sure) plan to make this a true camping trip, and pack in everything I need, and then pack it all out too (and by pack I mean drive).  I might spend some cash on a shirt or CDs, but food, water, etc.... no way.
