Location: Bouckaert Farm outside of Atlanta, GA – 350 acres of a 1450 acre privately owned farm w/ 10 year permit and annual renewal for festival. Farm (and campgrounds/festival site) lie along the Chattahoochee River. # of Attendees: less than 40,000
Neato: All power comes from alternative/renewable energy sources, and each ticket purchase helps the plant a tree foundation. Weeks before the festival, volunteers will gather to help clean the Chattahoochee River. And for a $4 be-green upgrade to your ticket, 500 kWh of renewable energy will be made on your behalf (not sure exactly what this means, but it’s what the site says… )
Gates: Entry will be permitted at 3pm Thursday, closes 12pm Monday. The concert field opens at 10am Friday. Thursday entry will cost you an extra $20 per car for ‘preferred camping’ and a pre-party. Parking Fri-Sun will cost you $10 unless you have 3 or more people riding in your vehicle.
Tickets: Tickets will be shipped on September 26th. Prices don’t include service/shipping fees.
Early Bird Tickets: $120 (sold out) 1st allotment: $155.50 2nd allotment: $178.50 Gate Price: $200 VIP: $250 UPGRADE (must purchase regular tickets first, see site for all it includes) RV Pass: $100 RV Friend Vehicle Pass: $75 (does not get you a parking space beside the RV – rather a space in a designated area next to RV camping) Travel Packages: see official festival site for details
Random Facts: • music will be required to end at 2 a.m. • 200 security personnel, including 20 mounted officers • Fulton and Douglasville Police at highway intersections • 1,400-2,000 portable toilets • no glow sticks allowed in concert field, otherwise rules are essentially the same as bonnaroo’s

Possible Inforoo Party/Meet-up: I'm thinking (b/c none of us are familiar with the site and there doesn't seem to be a camping only area) that it would be easiest to meet Friday @ 10am when the concert field opens... or maybe meet at the first act, depending on how they do the scheduling. Then we can figure out where everyone is and plan a little partyroo for later? That's all I've got - where are all you folks with the brilliant ideas?
Schedule (thanks slugme!): Here are some initial dates. Note - where it says JB means JamBase reporting the date only. All others confirmed via band websites.

Add me to the list as "tentative". I'm going to buy a ticket, but there's a chance I may have to be out of state during that time and I may have to sell the ticket. But I'll be there if possible.

that can be arranged. I still need a ride either to and from the festi or to and from asheville I guess. since I'm blowing pretty much all I have on tickets, a bus to and fro just wouldn't be an option.

get to asheville and i will get you to the festival and back to asheville. That will be no problem we are taking two cars. my son and his friend are coming as well. Both of them are festival veterans and fine guitar pickers to boot.
I'm going to try to find a way to go to this. It's on my scheduled weekend to work and my nursing classes will have started, but dammit I want to go!
I'm going to try to find a way to get off. I might just quit my job, I'm probably going to have to because of school anyway. If only student loans were easier.
We didn't get to go to roo this year and the weather will likely be sooo nice for this fest.

Jam base had Thursday at 15 and the echo sight has it at 20 I don't think the extra 5 is going to matter much to me. I wonder who is going to play the pre-show concert???? Plus I really want to be close to the river.
I wanna be close to the gates of the venue and as far away from that river as possible! South of Atlanta the hooch is nasty as hell. One of the most polluted rivers in the U.S.
and ive got my fingers crossed about the killers an f'lips both playing on saturday. that would please me beyond belief
if anything hopefully they are wrong about moe and we will get umphreys and moe on friday night i doubt it but i can dream! it atleast gives me hope that uphreys will be a night show. i realy really really want to see moe at night too though. damn i cant wait to see schedule for this one!
If the Killers and The Lips are playing Saturday, does that mean they have yet to announce one of the headliners. I hope so, from what I've heard the Killers were terrible. Some of my friends keep talking up Umphreys and I think a late night show would be a good introduction to them.
Someone appreciating a little work is always nice... Now where do I go to exchange this karma for us dollars to buy tickets with? 
;D
