10c usually does not have festival tickets.

10c usually does not have festival tickets.

Plus, it's GA, so 10C tickets would be pointless

They may provide discounted tickets or some allocation for VIP sections similar to what was done at Global Citizen.

Daron Oshay · January 2016

I believe we will get this confirmed than right before the 3/10 newsletter tour announcement

That's my guess

I was at Bonnaroo in 2008, and there was a section at the front for the VIP ticket holders, so as a general GA show, you could only get so close unless you ponied up for the VIP experience. Still an awesome, awesome experience and I would definitely go again if I didnt have a 1 year old to look after!

Nope. Bonnaroo is completely different from GCF

to be clear, those areas are not for the Bonnaroo VIP tix, but for festival VIPs and such. Bonnaroo VIP tix holders have the section on the hill toward the back left of the main stage area (as you look at the stage) as their 'special viewing area'. the front pits are cordoned off on either side and are emptied after each main stage act, and are available for regular old festival goers to get into, provided they wanted to wait in line for them, of course.

how about that $60 car camping pass they announced for this year? the live nation influence is in effect!

Brief and unimportant soap box.... so the state of music today is that there are now advance declarations of when announcements will be made. Has everyone lost their mind in this industry?? LOL. It's music! It just strikes me like there is this air of self importance. Just make your lineup announcement and move on, it literally changes nothing. I understand that there is the "marketing" aspect but if timing gimmicks are needed, then maybe the product should be improved instead.

End soap box

^I get where you're coming fr9m, I really do. I even agree with you. Yet, here we all are like perfect little sheep herding ourselves to this thread daily (some more than others) 4 months later. Kind of the same thing.

Yes!, a very reasonable thought

Sure hope so. My wife is giving birth to twin girls in late April/early May.

demetrios · January 2016

It's "official". Yeah to festivals ...

"While we don’t have specific dates and locations yet, Consequence of Sound has personally confirmed one major stopping point for the Seattle legends: Bonnaroo. We’d guess that the rest of the tour might surround that June appearance in some way. Stay tuned." – Philip Cosores

Yeah, kick it off with Bonnaroo, rock out the 4th in Chicago, then hit the road.

The Pit in front of the main stage (the What Stage) is open for everybody , not just VIP. They open the gates to the field at 12pm daily and you can line up for the headliners starting then. If you want up front you put in the time and get there. The pit is cleared out between each main stage act through out the day and before the next act, they let the line of people in for that show. At a certain point after the show is started if it is fullish, they stop letting GA wristbanded people in to the pit and save the last bit of room for the VIP wrist bands. I have been up front for several shows(BB King, Stevie Wonder, Alabama Shakes, John Foggerty to name a few) never bought a VIP pass.

But to us the Bonnaroovian clan, announcement day is a big deal, and we are chomping at the bit for this day since we left Manchester last year. This year is extra great that my favorite band is coming back to my favorite place in the world. Give it a shot come to TN this year!

Thanks for the clarification... that was my first and only time at Bonnaroo so far... I was not aware of the separate line/entrance that was available to the general population there... I just remembered when it came time for PJ to come on stage there was a barrier preventing me from getting up front... never really dug much further than that (assumed it was for VIP). At least now if I go back and for others we will know how that process works! - - I certainly recommend the ROO if you've never been before.

It is a little different and i would guess about half of the first timers also think it's for VIP, but it's a great system that prevents crowd crush. I wish more of the faithful here would give it a chance instead of poo pooing the idea all together.

Oh I totally get it that it would get the fans excited and I definitely do not mean to imply that the actual event isn't awesome as I'm sure it is (never been). It's just crazy the layers of secrecy and announcements about announcements that go on these days, haha.

Bonnaroo artists leaked onto the Bonnaroo app. According to that, Pearl Jam is NOT on the Bonnaroo bill.

That list was missing all 3 headliners. They are there, it is happening.
