It’s our first Bonnaroo and there’s obviously a lot to love about it. But we came with the intent to camp on the rail all day for RHCP.
They had us queued into different lines depending on which artist we wanted to be in the pit for, but the lines they had us in were way, way off to the side of the stage. So normally I’d get to see all the other bands while I wait, but instead I could barely see the screens because of the awkward angle they had us lined up at.
And then after waiting 13+ hours, they let a line of at least 40 platinum VIP people in before us. This is not my first rodeo and I have never seen a pit handled this way. We still managed to get an okay spot for the show, but considering all the time we put in, I think my wife and I deserved better. But I guess the only thing that really matters is if we’re willing to cough up the money for platinum VIP or whatever.
