Welcome to the Lockn' Forum - The home of the original Lockn' Music Festival family!
Once a month for two months; twice a month for one month, once a week for two months, twice a week for a month, then every 4 days for the last month. Then there will initially be four replies, increasing to ten replies, for each ask. true, generally but they had a few pros this year and a couple of LEO's participating at the main gate. Some of the pros reportedly came from NASCAR. There was this one pro working the show field gate who got me after I cleared two amateurs; she was clearly dialed in. The next time she was there, backing up the amateurs, but I dodged her. She was sharper than Ms. Penzold, my third grade teacher who by year's end had half my toy box in her desk drawer. I expect heightened security for fear of violent acts (as we had somewhat last year), possibly metal detectors, and more eyes in crowds and campgrounds. However, I assume that the ones watching for those threats aren't going to be concerned about "victimless infractions". true, generally but they had a few pros this year and a couple of LEO's participating at the main gate.

All of the questions, especially the good ones, get asked frequently. And you asked in the right place: "first timer questions." It's Feb/March. Lockn is not *soon*. The animals are restless. And now you can be the one to reply to the next new friend who asks! Please note: This forum is in no way officially associated with Lockn' Festival or its promoters.
First timer questions

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.

In 2016 Nick and I were like car #6 in one of the lines for ADA/VIP entrance when they opened. They moved some bags around, pulled a cooler out, and sent us on our way. The people next to us had a couple cases of fancy beer confiscated. They hid it in plain sight. You just have to stash well and be smart. They don't want the hassle of pulling someone out of the line or dealing with a pissed off person or a backed up line. Just don't give them a reason to HAVE to confiscate your stuff.

And, I agree with Moon - No reason to give them a reason.

Being polite, getting out of your vehicle, and opening doors before being asked may help speed along the process as well.

You mean the pro who discovered your bottle of "sunscreen"? She probably had many minutes of training to be that good...

I was personally attacked by wild drug dogs last year. The bites hurt, but the ensuing hallucinations were worth it.
