Is this correct? I figured Will Call would stay open 24/7 since the gates are open.
Seems kind of Bush League to not keep it open while music is going on and people are arriving.
End of rant.
Are you arriving today or tomorrow? Email I got from CID says VIP box office closes today at *8 pm* - then reopens tomorrow at 6 am. Once open tomorrow, stays open 24 hours til Saturday at 6 pm.

I think their camera policy is consistent with most other concert venues.

Not sure that they are too strict, more a matter of courtesy. I guess if someone has a low chair behind someone with a high chair there might be an issue. Although some folks don't listen, you shouldn't have chairs past the soundboard. Just makes it too crowded.

So feel free to move all empty chairs in your way; put them on the laps of the occupied chairs. Take out some annoying flags while you're at it.
Some people in the no-chair area are kind enough to spread blankets out for us to walk on. They look up at us with baleful, stricken doe eyes which makes it all the better. Most are too frail to serve as bearers, so we pass them by.

I posted a specific thread but it didn't get much action(response).
I've got GA parking and fest tickets for Sat. and Sun. I'm planning on just crashing in my car in the lot both nights. Is this cool?
And, with the two days of parking passes will i be able to pull in Saturday morning and leave my car there until Monday morning or will I have to exit
and come back in on Sunday morning? TIA!!!

In past years people seem to have camped beside their car in that area without issue. I have a hard time thinking they are going to patrol and kick people out (potentially not sober) at 2AM or later. So I think you'd be OK, but no way to know for sure.

Nope. They replied and the box office does close. So I'm SOL if I arrive after 10 pm. No entrance til morning when Will Call opens.
They "apologized for the inconvenience"
Edit: I arrive Friday evening

But as always all it takes is one fornicating anal orifice to change that, so your mileage may vary.

We have been festival goers for about 12 years but this will be our first LOCKN’. I’ve been on and off this board for a few years.
I am SO excited and want to make sure I take the proper precautions in order to have a stellar time. It sucks when bad shit happens before you get in the gate!
Would love to see Jimmy, Derek and Oteil do an ABB set with TTB!

This may be an unpopular position but I don't carry anything with me into Lockn. If I need something the universe makes it available to me. I never sweat the entry...

At the showfield entrance they won't search for small soft items. It's highly unlikely you'll get in a six pack. There are mostly amateurs inspecting but there are a couple of pros there too and they are good.
I have it on good authority that the main concern last year was mass violence, and this was before Las Vegas and not due to Charlottesville. I think we can expect even more in that regard, which means closer looks at the main entrance and more roving patrols especially in and near the stages.
