Welcome to the Lockn' Forum - The home of the original Lockn' Music Festival family!
I contacted CID - this email was for VIP only. SVIP will be come and go whenever - over 6 hrs. The main reason (obviously)...is the number of folks per grouping! I did the same thing. I even contacted them FIRST to find out...and the initial response was ...yes you have to fill it out. I later sent them a follow up email letting them know 'my thoughts'....and ya know what...they apologiesed for the miss communication and said SVIP didn't need to do this - we were all set. One of the big things I've found with this company....the left doesn't know what the right is doing. While the apologies are nice....know who you're sending information too! That was a MAJOR cluster that we were not happy about - though we still enjoyed the company - funny, one dude next to us got in late and grabbed his water jug to wash his feet....turns out that he grabbed the hooch! Even during and after last years issues, we said we'd give it at least one more try. What I want to know is there going to be a substitute performer for the absence of Bob Weir? I emailed CID yesterday with this question, but haven't received a response yet. I think they've had enough time to get a replacement now, and should make an announcement. Oh, and it better be good, Bobby was the best act on the schedule. What I want to know is there going to be a substitute performer for the absence of Bob Weir?

I just received this email answer from CID: Thank you for reaching out to us! The replacements for Bob Weir in the SVIP lounge are: Bill Kreutzmann/ Kimock / Magner / Tom Hamilton / Oteil, Preservation Hall and TAUK. Well, that makes me happy, if true...Think I'll make a phone call to confirm....This seems to similar to the Main Stage replacement. Spoke with CID on the phone and they said, Bill Kreutzmann/ Kimock / Magner / Tom Hamilton / Oteil, Preservation Hall and TAUK would all be playing in the SVIP lounge late night Thursday, and the other previously announced acts (including Phil) are still scheduled to play too. They said an official schedule was to be released soon. My hopes are high, I'll totally believe it when an official announcement is out.

Actually...they still should keep the, separated.
Not a big deal for an organization to have two stations.
The email I got said 'VIP'...not SVIP....so I really don't know if they are doing them together?
Hmmm.

I got the email today for the VIP Brunch...it said you need a printed ticket OR have your ticket readily available on your phone. I'm sure the ticket will have the time slot on it...if you only used the wristband, you could change times and that would screw up their headcount for each seating. I'm actually okay with this...I was afraid the "free meals" included in VIP would end up being a free-for-all and I'm just not into fighting for my share of a buffet. :-)

As a VIP, I would feel truly blessed if I were allowed to break bread in the presence of the SVIP's. Oh, let it be so!

I sure hope the combine the vip and svip. If they don't, how are we going to get our shoulder rides. What I heard was that Super VIP gets to ride on the shoulders of VIP and they get a laminate that says "I'm better than you."

Actually SVIP got the e-mails before VIP. The SVIP's will enter first, unless of course someone from VIP knows how to play a fiddle. But they need the reservations to make sure they have plenty of nice cold fish heads left, you know the ones that have the eyes in them.

If they let the rest of us in, we'd probably have to wash their feet and shine their shoes.

I am doing regular VIP like last year and I didnt think it was fair for SVIP to be in the same area last year. We had SVIP people camped right next to us. Hopefully SVIP get the super treatment they deserve this year. It is a lot of money and you should be pampered and well taken care of.

If the SVIP's didn't need to fill that out...then state it in the one email...or just do not send it to them.

Susan would be nice, but I'd be happier with Tom Petty. Seriously, with all the great artists at this festival, they should be able to get a replacement for Bobby. They owe us that.

Yes, seriously. You should call CID and see if they give you the same story.
