So enjoy your selves to the fullest in SVIP.

Was it right on the fence across the street from the stage area or did they have them somewhere else? Were the spaces bigger?

Even though they advertised a separation of SVIP and VIP camping last year, there was none. There wasn't even separation of car and tent only. It was like drive into the VIP area and pick any spot open. Makes you wonder if it's the same false advertising again this year

Time will tell if CID has got it together this year or playing the same fly be the seat of their pants game.

Sucks you had to walk so far. We were about 35 feet from local tent entrance.

I specifically asked about that when I returned their call about the VIP RV "survey" and that person said the SVIP would likely just be sectioned off inside the same area where VIP RV camping was last year.

It seems possible SVIP may occupy some of VIP RV section from last year. This may be the reason VIP RV parking passes have sold out quicker this year. There may have been fewer available for sale because there is less space.

Thought I read that there would be fewer sVIP tix because people were bummed about the crowded sVIP shows (hence the price hike).

I just noticed on the e-mail I got for SVIP says "We're excited to announce the following artists for our super VIP late night performances."

Now I count 5 artists for 4 nights, & didn't figure on Sunday, so 3 nights. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Now that Bobby is removed, I don't think the SVIP late night artists list can hold a candle to the either the Shakedown or Triangle scheduled performers. CID, you better do something about this! 5pm is almost here.

I went for 12:00. Grateful Gospel is playing Sunday morning, and I didn't want brunch to get in the way of possible seeing this set. It won't surprise me if brunch for SVIP will be more flexible since it'll be held in the SVIP lounge.

That's the thing not knowing times for acts. Being being Sunday I din't want to get up too early & brunch is just the thing to get me going. So I hope I can catch at least some of Grateful Gospel.

Seems brunch may be LESS flexible.

Just got an email to login to some site and pick a 'time' - really? At a festival???

That's just silly!!!

(we picked the 10:30am slot)....oh, and you need a printed ticket of it to get it...not just your wrist band.

Flakey if you ask me.

I'm VIP (not SVIP) and have not gotten an email about brunch (although I got one about tickets and another on the arrival survey).

I can't believe they make you have reservations and print a ticket. I cold see a survey so they can plan the crowds, but no more than
that.

Oh - that's why....it's SVIP and VIP....makes more sense now.

Well, not really.

More a survey would have been good!

Hypothesis: They plan on utilizing the SVIP lounge for both SVIP and VIP brunch attendees, and the printed tickets are how VIP will be allowed to enter during this period. The VIP population is far larger than SVIP, and the VIP tent probably can't handle the whole population for brunch.

I wonder where they will have the Thursday welcome BBQ party at. Have not seen anything on that.

Good question. Maybe BBQ food is easier to serve.

The BBQ was for 'all' VIP last year - and it was in the VIP tent.

I would hope they swap tents around - seeing how SVIP is supposed to be smaller this year, and it seems VIP is as many if not more.

As for the hypoth...yea, could be!
