Welcome to the Lockn' Forum - The home of the original Lockn' Music Festival family!
this guy? wait--is it no chair bags or no bag chairs? Or just no bag chair bags? Kafka wants to know if a bag chair without a bag is no longer a bag chair but merely a chair? Or does it exist at all? Everyone bring one of these. Then, when everyone is sitting down on them during the drum solo, you push over the guy in the aisle seat and take out the whole row like dominoes!

The next night gave me the hairy eyeball, but they missed the real flask in my crotch--despite a younger guards rub-down there (I resisted the temptation to go keep looking! Keep looking! warmer--warmer--colder--colder). I was so elated to get through that I did a two-step jig and the damn thing fell out on the ground but I recovered it. It's just all in the game. As for metal detectors I'm sure they can set them to let small metal through (coins, pens, bras, etc) but pick up something as dense as a handgun. I think I know that supervisor.

It's different every year. Last year much more thorough than year's previous years, including bringing in some experienced gate-keepers who work other events like Nascar--and were good at catching stuff. One of the business guys involved told me the whole industry was concerned about "another Spain or London" and a couple weeks later, Las Vegas. That pretty much ices it.
So while they will take food and drinks they encounter, the purpose is primarily safety. Hardware.
I expect metal detectors and bag size restrictions this year. Just because of a handful of assholes, our good times are diminished every where we go.
I don't go to major sporting events but I assume they are the same now?
Also last year, a friend stashed a cooler wagon outside the gate in the bushes. I bet they look for, and grab, any unattended bags, etc. this year.

I was in my both days. Lots of cops. The only thing they seemed to be doing was making sure people didn’t drop balloons.
Ok, not exactly true, they also kept shakedown safe for free-for-all capitalism. And made sure I staggered across the street safely.

Are they really not allowing backpacks this year??? That blows....so no camel baks or anything like that? Last year I would have my camel bak backpack (bladder empty) with a few snacks, blanket and other random stuff like a flashlight in there. Are they really only allowing fanny packs? Having a camel bak bladder is crucial.

I know we can expect tighter security and more thorough searches. For this a restriction on bag size makes sense (but not a restriction on bag type). Certainly they'll allow more gear than they might for a one night stadium show.
Hopefully people will help by not coming in with packs the size of a bale of hay and will assist in the process by opening, removing, etc. It's too bad we have to live this way due to a few criminals.
As always we won't know our rules until we get there. I'll probably bring a couple different types of "luggage" so I'll have a choice.
And just like they do with the cars we can expect a couple of people to get the full treatment, probably early in the game, to serve as a deterrent. I wish they'd use hired help for that!

Ahh, ok...Yeah, hopefully I can do the same as the other times I've been to lockn. I came prepared last year with all the necessities in my backpack. I ain't trying to have my cargo shorts falling off my body trying to carry things. Haha

Also remember last year 8 days before Lockn' there was a knee-jerk flag banning before they changed that rule. I know extenuating circumstances.

But many beach chairs have backpack straps and a carrying area. I could go along with an empty carrying area but cutting straps off the chair is ludicrous.
If they effectively ban chairs, then the alternative would be to rent them for a nominal amount--at VaB you rent it for about $4 but get $1 back on return.
Not too much need to fret until we know what the real deal is--which will not be ***soon***.
Recall that with the flag ban they jerked back their knee after it had its desired effect and flags in the camp area were fine. Flags in the showfield needed banning years ago especially that Dbag with the red flag on the big white pole.
***It's stupid to announce security measures too far in advance for obvious reasons. Again we are all inconvenienced by crime in which we are not involved. (Mods--OK if I use your required asterisks' function?)

In addition to security against bringing in prohibited things (including guns) there is a safety factor: evacuation of a dark area completely covered with unfolded bag chairs would be its own disaster.
Personally I don't want to see them banned at Lockn (and there is NO indication they will be) but just trying to understand what's going on.

Personally I prefer the metal detectors. I don't think it takes any longer and usually the metal detectors are in place of the intrusive pat down and security guard of the year candidates.
