Bonnaroo's Overwhelming Ticket Rush!

As I stated in my last post, Bonnaroo's 4 day lineup is the talk of festival-goers right now. However it seems to be TOO MUCH of the talk. According to The Associated Press, Bonnaroo has HALTED tickets sales due to unanticipated high demand! Tickets were supposed to go on sale last Saturday the 18th, but the organizers suspended the sales due to technical problems (a.k.a far many people trying to buy tickets at once!). They did state by the end of today they would announce the day they will become available.

I have no idea how they're going to launch the ticket sales in a way to keep people from crashing the site. Ticket lottery maybe? Either way, I'm sure a lot of people are getting way too anxious!!

Currently listening to:

Happy Valentines Day, Love Bonnaroo

When I logged Into my Facebook yesterday morning, I saw an explosion of posts from my friends regarding Bonnaroo's lineup and how it was too good to pass up!! Yes, as a "Valentine's Day Present," Bonnaroo has officially announced their lineup for their 2012 festival. Considering last year was the 10th anniversary, I thought nothing could top that lineup. However, they definitely succeeded with recent Grammy winners Bon Iver and Skrillex as well as Radiohead, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Beach Boys, Feist, Major Lazer and Flogging Molly. I had never made the trek from New York to Tennessee because of prior commitments, but i think this year is the year for me!

Like the Electric Forest Festival, Bonnaroo is very aware that "...the arts not for the privileged few, but for the many." They offer a work exchange program where you could earn your tickets FOR FREE! I think it's so amazing these companies want everyone to have the opportunity experience their festival, regardless if it's in your price range or not. If I go I'll have to do that, because gas from New York to Tennessee is definitely not in my price range right now! ha ha.

My favorite Bonnaroo headliner of last year, Robert Plant! One of my favorite songs of his, besides from Led Zeppelins' of course :)
