Welcome to the Lockn' Forum - The home of the original Lockn' Music Festival family!
I read they let you bring 1 sealed bottle of water in the venue. Anyone try to bring 2 or 3 or 4 sealed bottles? Would rather not need to run to water source to refill? Don't need to hear the rules, want peoples experiences from last year. Thanks I read they let you bring 1 sealed bottle of water in the venue. Anyone try to bring 2 or 3 or 4 sealed bottles?

going to the water source is not a problem; closer than the porta johns and you can see and hear from there, too

The water filling stations are actually pretty nice. And there are at least two within the venue. The one on the side farthest from Chug Point Charlie is generally less crowded than the one right inside the entrance. It's all good. You'll meet nice folks in the water line. Get yourself a nice metal or plastic reusable bottle and save those flimsy recyclable ones for some time when you don't have a nice water station handy.

I didn't take any water in last year and never wished I had, and I am one to take water with me everywhere. The watering stations, as previously mentioned, were just fine.

Sue said it best, ditch those flimsy bottles and use one bottle you can refill. I use a camelbak and sometimes fill a bottle too.
One thing that worked for me last year was putting some ice in the bladder before going in, then filling with water once I got in.

They gave you no crap about the ice? Or didn't they look?

I only did it a couple days but never had a problem. Its funny how sometimes they toss your whole backpack and other times barely check.

I carried in a 20# bag of ice on my shoulder and head with no problems at the end of shakedown bottle check. I had to dump a little cloth six pack cooler full of ice at the willcall side bottle check the day before. Depends on who's checking

Water was easy fast and cold and you don't have to leave the music. I would say if you are planning on holding ground at the rail get a 2 liter jug and fill it before you go up. That said, I took a six pack in every day for my brother in law with no hassle. I spent at least 64 dollars a day at the beer vendors so I didn't feel bad about $48 I didn't give them each day.

And to answer the original question... They will not let you bring in multiple unsealed bottles.
This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.
What happens if I take both?
