Welcome to the Lockn' Forum - The home of the original Lockn' Music Festival family!
I think they are about where it says "VIP Pathway" on the map. Very short walk from car to tent, level gravel. You won't need bikes to get around; part of VIP is that you are close to the action--except the late night stage is at the other end of the farm. It's not real good for biking there, though. Chair/ground depends on your preference. at my age it's all about fighting gravity VIP has a separate entrance but it's all marked and people directing. Which is your airport and arrival day/time? A cooler is not necessary if you don't cook or drink beer. You can't take an EZ up to the show field. Can't speak to how important since you have a glamp; others can weigh in. Welcome aboard and looing forward to seeing you, too! The prominent guy here named The Other One is in VIP RV and can help you out! (See the tell-tales thread) they don't drink beer. Yet. You mentioned "buying an electric cooler". Would that also be called a "refrigerator"? they don't drink beer. Yet. Please note: This forum is in no way officially associated with Lockn' Festival or its promoters.
Anyone doing the VIP Glamping for 2019?

Bring an ez up tent & tapestries to keep your spot less HOT
Area is a Hot ,Bring an extra box fan , so you'll get cross ventilation.
I would suggest bringing Bikes , its Kind of a hike to Gate , This helped us see more music last year .
This year we are doing SVIP .
Here's our survey from last year:
Exceptionally Good Experiences as a 3 day VIP ticket holder:
• Outstanding sound by Meyer; Loved the line-up,
• VIP tent and most concierges, free waters/ sodas, excellent Sunday Brunch, LOVED the hard copy newspaper, Air conditioned toilets, with amenities; great relaxation area with hammocks, the new vendor food area, misting stations, lots of port o potties.
• Sober Lockn- as sober people this was extremely appreciated by myself, girlfriend and others.
• Excellent preparation for a HUGE crowd
Things that you could improve upon next year/ that were disappointing this year:
No Wifi for VIP - We wanted to promote your great festival and I couldn't? Have all cellular providers next year. My Sprint did not work. Verizon very spotty.
• NO COFFEE FOR VIP GLAMPERS!-- where was the coffee? We need coffee. Heelllp!
• Too many GA/ hang pass holders in the VIP viewing area. Seems like you oversold the Hang. Needed MUCH More security and EXPERIENCED SECURITY; not only at the VIP viewing entrance but also around the VIP viewing area.
• We were disappointed in the Glamping. THERE WAS NO COFFEE!!
There was really nothing glamorous and very little amenities for the 1400 price tag. We had one small towel in our tent. A single lightbulb in a vase does not offer much in the way of light. Also the tent camping was 400.00 less and they had the exact same thing as us glampers! We found this really not too cool. What were paying 400.00 more for?
We heard that in 2017, there was iced coffee, bananas and the paper every morning in the Glamping Tent area. For this 1400 price we really expected FREE COFFEE.
• Limited to none concierge contact in the Glamping area—Ivy was great, but 4 concierges for the whole VIP area ( tent camping, RV, Glamping) is a joke. There should be at least 2 pp in each area at all times.
• There should have been more than one area to purchase ice.
See you at Meet & greet

That's not true.
It's not who you know, but who knows you.
Anyway, the Hang is set up for the people in the production side, like Pete Shapiro, for their friends, guests and their trolls. I don't sense that it's artist connected, but it could be. Someone with that access has to give you a bracelet personally.

Where are the tents in relation to the VIP camping section on the map?
Where is our parking area and how is the walk? Is it long? Is it through a field?
We’re flying in from across the country and need to pack light. Should we purchase bikes locally? Any place we can resell them after the festival?
Do we need to get chairs or will a small blanket suffice?
Where is the vehicle entrance to the venue? Couldn’t tell on the map.
We aren’t bringing food; just some snacks an water bottles. Is a cooler still necessary?
Considering buying an ez up and checking it in. Has anyone not brought a shade structure? How did that go?
Look good forward to meeting new friends!

I'm bringing a few folding chairs to sit outside the tent but not for the actual festival area.
I may be buying an electric cooler.
There are some shaded areas in the VIP area.
Look forward to seeing you there. Haven't seen anyone else that is glamping yet.

Your car will be parked right next to this area. Easy walk on a cinder track to the VIP entrance. As someone said I think a box fan would be money well spent. Chairs or blanket would be your preference. Not bringing food would certainly make the trip easier bit if you drink I would grab a disposable cooler and some brewskis. Food vendors would appreciate your support and there will be at least one vendor inside of the VIP area. Anything else just ask. If we don't know the answer we will make something up!
I highly recommend attending the official and unofficial meet and greets. We would love to meet you but please, whatever you do , don't feed the animals!

Seems like a mistake. Bring beer. If you're in a car, you can stop at a local place and pick up a couple of cases. And a cheap cooler. Of note is that in Virginia beer sales must stop at a specific time, it will probably be around midnight this year, since the main show field acts end by about 12:30.
There will be no beer sold at the late night shows, it's BYOB. Have some to bring if you plan to go to late night.
