    I totally hear what you're saying. Whoever comes to Bonnaroo (fans/campers) this year will obviously make or break the whole thing... but if it's anything like last year, you won't see this happening. Everyone was so respectful of everyone's spaces. Everyone had lots of room, and nobody just dropped into your space.

    wait till you experience PJ with 50K plus in front of the stage
    all trying to get up front
    manners get lost in that push and it aint fun

    I would guess the metallica crowd will be even worse

    Perhaps years ago, but this aint no hippy fest anymore

    You can't camp all day at the main stage at Roo if you are up front near the stage. They started a new system last year that they say is like European festivals, where the "pit" is cleared out between performances so that more people get to be up front for a show.

    They just had this at the main stage, none of the other ones.

    I've never seen it done at a Euro festival.
    What some festivals do is control the entry flux into the front pit, but that's to avoid the crush (the people talking about 'your own space'..please never go to a festival or even GA show in Europe, you won't know what hits you!) so the people that were there to watch th e1 band move on and get replaced by people for the next, naturally..
    ...but not empty it completely..

    i dont care about having my "own space" as long as the space i have come show time is not further back than i started because of assholes pushin their way to the front past people there long before them... thats just common courtesy... i saw punches being thrown over that shit at lolla last year... it was for muse tho not PJ thank god... but thats bound to happen anytime when somebodys waiting patiently out in the heat and someone else has a sense of entitlement... judging by the threads i see around here the latter applies to alot of PJ fans... so be ready

    Actually, I think distantsun's point was actually that a lot of Jammers appear to be uptight bitches, but that the general Bonnaroo vibe is more of a laid back, no worries, feel free to invade my space and rock out alongside me, fellow total stranger, kinda thing. At least that's how I see it.


    thank you. this is what i was going for. :)

    in other news, if i might make a suggestion.

    now i know none of you here know me but i am very very far from a pseudo-neo-hippie. just trust me on this. that being said, i still think that if you're going to be one of these rabid "I MUST GET TO THE FRONT OF A 100,000 PERSON CAPACITY SHOW", perhaps Bonaroo is not for you. chances are they are going to be touring around a little bit.

    maybe an arena is a better fit for your live music style.

    i dont think its a sense of entitlement that is some peoples problem...

    its the fact that they are just assholes in general...

    i know people from this board who would lie,cheat,steal,manipulate,and use people any way they can just to make sure they get their seats up front...

    ive seen it....and its fucking pathetic...

    I wonder what the hardass 30/40 year old MetallicA fans (after an entire day of binge drinking in the hot summer TN sun) will think of The Jamily?
    Do you remember Rock & Roll Radio?

    they will surely hate the Jamily.

    as will the indie kids and the pseudo-neo-hippies.

    guys, it's not going to be a gang war.

    this isn't Michael Jackson's Bad video.

    no one will be snapping to the duel.

    everyone just calm down.
