Newvbie...questions about VIP "benefits"

Hi Misslab,

This is my first Lockn but been to many Festivals and have done both VIP and non VIP. I cannot answer specifically for Lockn but I can share my experiences with other VIP festival experiences.

1. VIP has its own Bathrooms and Showers separate from GA camping. The wait should not be as long. I have never waited an hour to take a shower. I also, chose off times to shower so that I did not have to wait in lines. As for bathrooms, there should be plenty of options and I would expect wait to be minimal at best.

2. Beer pricing is a great question and I also love to know. I bring plenty of beer and try to limit how much I spend on beer from vendors and use that $$ to buy food.

3. VIP always has different color wristbands as well as laminates that you wear around your neck that you must show to enter the VIP viewing area and camping area. GA Camper trying to get into VIP is not an easy task.

4. I don't believe they will be able to come into the VIP area since they are GA camping. You would need to meet them in the stage area or go to them.

5. From what I read, VIP will have a separate entrance and the promoters are still working on times on when you can enter. I would plan on it being a CF and then when it runs smoothly you will be in much better mood when you get in.

Again, I did not attend last year's Lockn but have done VIP at many Festies in the past and all are very similar in their setup. Given the size of the festival, VIP is the way to go for me and I can't wait to experience what is arguably the best festival lineup I have ever witnessed. I hope this helps a little and take care. See you at the Lockn!

Sneake posted in March that the beer was $5.00 cheaper. Last years VIP tickets were $450.00 & he figured if he drank 90 beers in 4 days VIP would basically be free. It would take more this year but you gotta do what you gotta do.

When I emailed Lockn about whether I could have guests in ADA camping, they told me guests were permitted, just like in every camping area. I'm relatively certain that, as long as they're accompanied, you should be fine.

Also, have you tried emailing CID Entertainment with any of these questions? They can be reached at guestservices@cidentertainment.com.

I am also a first time attendee at Lockn.I am VIP camping solo,driving in from far Southwest Virginia,approximately a 5 hour drive.I had planned on leaving after work on Wednesday evening.What are the thoughts on getting a room in Waynesboro Wednesday night or would it be prudent to go on to the venue.I suspect a real CF trying to get in Thursday am.If you decide to get in line Wednesday night can you get out of the road and car camp?This forum and missing Wanee 2014 were the deciding factors in attending Lockn .Look forward to meeting a bunch of good folks in the mountains of Central Virginia.

I FUCKING HATE AUTOCORRECT! !!!!!!!!!!

Good to know. Thanks for the info.

From what I can find out the field only holds the shows and vip stands. I certainly hope there's more on the field than what I described.

I'm considering SVIP. If you had them last year the Lumni pre sale starts this Monday the 23rd. The rest goes on sale Wednesday the 25th. They are going to have half the SVIP that they did last year so if they have any left you will have to jump on them.

That's not cool, what's to keep GA people from camping in VIP?

I guess I wasn't clear, although I don't see how I could be any clearer. The Lockn folks intimated to me that guests were welcome to visit your campsite. That's it. That's all. They may NOT camp, they do not get any VIP treatment, they may VISIT.

I asked if I could have visitors in ADA, because it kind of defeated the purpose if I had to go to them. Their reply was that visitors were welcome in ADA, and then they made a point of adding "just like every camping area."

Make of that what you will.

I am basing my expertise or lack of on being to Wanee for two years as a VIP.All attendees could wander aimlessly around the VIP area,but security made sure the VIP attendees who paid the premium for the added perks were the only ones that could park,camp or stay in that area.I suspect all festivals have different protocol,but the bottom line dictates what one can or can not do.Anyway,counting the days to share some fun,sun and music with the Lockin Family.

This still cracks me up every time I read it. Good one sueb.
