Tickets definitely went up since I went in 2005 though -

Tickets for 2008 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival are priced at three levels.

The first tickets will be priced at a special rate of $209.50 each. There is a limited allotment of tickets at this price. When the first allotment is sold out, ticket prices will increase without notice to $229.50 and then again without notice to $244.50.

The early bird tix were around $140 back then, and I got the latest round for $180

That line-up really is line-up is rigoddamndiculous.
I bet "Lez Zeppelin" has lesbians in it.

I'd rather take a trip to Woodstock to see Levon Helm in his own turf.

[newefezziwig]

Hmm... I wonder if it's Mason Jennings and The Avett Brothers driving up the price of tickets....

no wait... Pearl Jam and Metallica.. yeah.

and Phil Lesh appears twice.

Yinz should ask Damian to show yinz Mason Jennings high school photos...

Thats gonna be just a clusterfuck of way different people wanting to see way different music. MTV took it over about a year and a half or so ago. That explains Metallica and Kanye West, and to a lesser extent Pearl Jam

MTV took it over about a year and a half or so ago.

That seems to be a reason not to go. Not wanting to spend $209-$244 is an even better one.

Yeah thats way too much money for a festival
My second reason to not go would be Metallica and Kanye, just because of the crowd they would bring.
Third, I already went when it was around 90,000 people (and it was fun but hell on earth at the same time)

[pnickers]

Yeah, that's just too much capitalistic chaos for me.
