Bonnaroo Tickets Compared to Last Year

I thought it was around 70,000 last year...I may be wrong though.

I think he meant people had #'s over 100K, not the # in attendance.

I think VIP are getting higher #'s.

It seenms like the numbers go in this order.

Early bird>GA Tier 1> GA Tier 2> GA Tier 3> GA Tier 4> Payment Plans> VIP

I really don't think this is a perfect science.

My VIP tix last year had a wicked high #

If people are going to see bigger bands this year, mucho disappointment. Most of them are playing at the same time. ex. David Byrne VS Beastie Boys then Saturday night Ben Harper, Moe, NIN and MGMT are all playing at the same time. Easy enough to go see Bruce, Wilco and Phish. Wait, Mars Volta, Gov't Mule and Elvis Costello are on at the same time as Wilco! Glad I don't have to figure out who to miss.

If you like the small bands and like to jump around its going to be a great time. It would be a hard choice for the big acts

Saturday night is really tough. I think I'm going moe.>MGMT. Not really sure though. I think Ben Harper is going to be pretty empty. The R7 stuff sucks.

Oh yeah, got my tix, bought the first day of early bird. #'s 1404 and 1405.

I think the line-up is so much weaker than last year. I had the best time ever last year and was looking forward to this year, but the only band I really want to see is Bruce. It is just not worth the time or money to go for only one act I love. ALthough, you sometimes see an unexpected great band like The Raconteurs last year that blew me away, but I think the line-up is pretty lame.

What about the Racontuers was mindblowing? You should have ditched them half way through and saw State Radio. That was mind blowing. The Felice Brothers were equally mind blowing.

Agreed - I thought last years Roo and Lolla lineups were the two strongest overall festival lineups I have ever seen. The Roo was awesome, although I wasn't surprised at the Raconteurs - I knew they rocked...

I think this Roo lineup is terrible, The crew I went with last year all made a pact that we would come back to Roo every summer, then the first summer to come back we all see the lineup and counted about 4 bands that we wanted to see between the 4 of us...needless to say the pact never stood and we aren't going back this year...

okay, maybe not "mindblowing" but they were a nice surprise

Its not as much about the lineup as it is about the event growing in popularity.

Ticket sales should increase, and be sold at a faster pace, regardless of the actual lineup.
