Haven't bought tix yet but want to know how VIP has sold in recent years. Have VIP tickets sold out?
Will price for VIP weekend pass ($909 now) continue to go up after this next round?

I think VIP camping could sell out as it has been over-sold in the past.
Due to a number of factors from Dead and Co, I could also see VIP selling out, with the promoters limiting the size of the VIP crowd.

Hopefully this year the organizers will finally embrace my idea of building the VIP viewing area OVER TOP of the GA viewing area! This will allow the VIPs to rightfully reclaim their viewing area front and center of the stage. GA patrons will be issued, at a nominal fee, a poncho to reduce the amount of liquids coming in contact with them from beer spillage (or worse) coming from the VIP area above. There will also be a shoulder ride pickup/drop off location adjacent to this platform.

As a bearer, I would appreciate an elevated platform for loading and unloading my burdens. Thank you for thinking of us; you are a true picture of noblesse oblige.

Forest Camping has not sold out this early ever before so who knows how sales are going.
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.

I think if its in the same basic layout as it was last year, they could expand VIP camping as far as they needed inside the track and put the day parkers in one of the many empty fields around the farm.I think VIP camping could sell out as it has been over-sold in the past.
Due to a number of factors from Dead and Co, I could also see VIP selling out, with the promoters limiting the size of the VIP crowd.
Seems like the limit on VIP would be how much of the show field do they want to dedicate to VIP viewing, would it piss off the GA folks if the VIP area in front of the state was HUGE. And also the larger the area is, the less VIP it seems as you end up farther back behind tons of VIP folks.

At that point they create SDVIP, yes Super Duper VIP, which is in front of SVIP which is in front of VIP which is in front of GA, which is in front of cardboard cutouts of all the people that said they were definitely going to come this year but didn't. GA may actually be behind the cardboard cutouts, I'm not sure. But what I am sure about is that's when the class wars begin in earnest.

Hey, I'm ok with that. I have full confidence that the super stoned security dude who was manning the barricade between GA and VIP last year would be able to hold back the hordes of wooks.

Not a problem. All he has to do is hold up a bar of soap. It's like a garlic cross to a vampire or cryponite to Soupman.Hey, I'm ok with that.

Bearing to the top of the steps means GA scum actually penetrate the VIP area which is completely out of the question. Elevator is out of the question since they have blown their load on D and C. The two GA per VIP will be enacted this year to make the drop off. These two dirtbags are starting to perfect their form quite nicely.
