vip camp

Rufus here, 35 from Louisville KY. Did VIP camping last year and had a blast!

Mike from MD, 45. did regular rv last year, realized we'd want to upgrade to vip rv, which we did for this year. I'm in a two rv crew from parts far and wide: ny, va, md, ga, ca. Dont know how many fests i've been to, many would be my answer.
hikertrash: i'll be in louisville to hit the bourbon trail at the end of the month and coincidentally Sir Paul is at the Yum while we're there, so I'll try to hit that.

no offense, but this IS the Lockn VIP section, yes? we all, apparently, want to spend lots and lots of money!

It all started with people like ticketmaster having gold circle seating & the bands saw how they were not getting any extra so they added up front & get a water bottle & blanket or whatever & then added meet & great for more. And places like stub hub showed that people had plenty of money to spend for good seats. So its only natural that festivals got into the action of VIP. I can see where some of it has gone out of control but without the extra that they are used to getting & if they get rid of it then all tickets go way up. Then it gets to expensive for some people that can do GA now to be able to go. It's a mad circle.

Well Rob I can't agree with you more. When I met my wife it was in 07 I had on my 04 Bonnaroo t she asked me if I saw all those bands I said I did as well as others. We were at Bonnaroo 10 months later. That was her first festival. Been to 10 other festival since yes all have been vip since that fateful Monday morning she chose not to take my advice and entered the Porta potty.

Very good point! 

Hey...we just did VIP at mtnjam. Awesome time! It's worth the extra $$$ for the little extras..

I did svip last year.   From what I remember, the VIP camping is on the side of the main field.   For me the close location was worth the VIP cost alone.   Some of the camping is pretty far, so VIP is the way to go.   The meals in the VIP tents are typical buffet stuff.   Nice on the first day to not have to worry about cooking.    Being able to get down front is awesome.   Enjoy the show.   Hopefully I'll be camping in the VIP rv lot.

I do love to see my tribe come together and set up camp.

I'm Bill, my wife Ann and I are RV VIP again this year. Being in our 50s, the additional $ for not having to hike "miles" is well worth it. We were 50 feet from the gate last year and hope to be as close this time. We found it easier to walk back to camp to pee rather than line up and hope for a not so nasty porta pottie. Plus my booze was a lot cheaper.

Hey there, if you are Rich could you buy me a VIP ticket too?
