Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
seriously, if you can get ur ticket I have a 7 person tent with only 3 of us at most staying in it, you can camp with us if you would like. Shoot me a PM if your interested. Oh and don't worry I'm not as much of an asshole as I come off on here sometimes.
I was in a similar situation last year. Broke up w/ my GF a month before Bonnaroo. But I had the tickets, which she paid for hers. I had a few people who i could have invited in her place but she felt that she should still go with me even though we were no longer together. She had been looking forward to it as much as I had and spent the money on HER ticket. I decided bring her along. The 9 hour ride there was a mess. We got in several fights. But once we got there we had an amazing time, a much better time than we had the year before. The ride back home was filled with arguing and nasty comments, but at Bonnaroo we had the best time together, better than anything we had in our 4 years together.
This year I am bringing my new girl, the woman I will marry next year
If she offered you the tix and has no interest in going, I don't think that there is any harm in taking her up on it. Basic camping supplies are pretty easy to scrounge up from friends or very affordable from Target (or your favorite discount supplier). You could always see if you could trade the two VIP's for a GA and some camping gear. I'm sure that there are plenty of folks here that would take you up on it.
Related Story: In the summer of 93 I was set to see the Dead at Rich Stadium in Buffalo on what turned out to be their last visit. I was set to go with my girlfriend but we broke up a couple of nights prior. Even though I bought the tickets, I gave them to her because I didn't want to run into her there if we went separately. Such a stupid decision (though she did end up running into my friends). The moral of the story is: Don't be a chump -- go to Bonnaroo!!!!
You live in New York? You should seriously get your ticket from her and find a ride to the Roo right here on inforoo. There have to be dozens of people coming from your area or through it. Hell, if you can find a ride to Cincy, I'll take you the rest of the way and we'll bring an extra tent for you. Maracca Brian has to be at Broo! It sucks losing a girl, but there's no need to lose Broo too.

One, two, three, four! Wake up and live, y'all, Wake up and live! Wake up and live now! Wake up and live!
Life is one big road with lots of signs, So when you riding through the ruts, don't you complicate your mind: Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy! Don't bury your thoughts; put your vision to reality, yeah!
Instead of trying to find a ticket in the line, take both tickets and find a cute girl in the line who is looking for one. Both problems solved.
i like how you think..
hey bro, I'm going single again this year, and was in a quasi-similar situation last year.. It's awful and almost nothing makes it better... But, if there is anything that can fix you up, it's getting lost for four days at 'Roo. My buddy and his girl of 5 years just broke up too, so he's coming to 'Roo now, so if you want to tool around and scam on some beautiful hippie's to get your mind of things, PM ME!!
I say if she offered them to you then go ahead and take them...but sell them and buy yourself a GA ticket andthen give her the change! It'll work out for both of you. You'll get to go and she'll only be 250 in the hole....you can always offer to pay her back like others have suggested. You have plenty of people on here who would love to have you camp with them! Roo is the perfect place for you to get over a break-up! you can get your mind right and have a great time!

dude, i'm really sorry that your all's relationship problems are gonna hinder you all going/having a good time at "Roo. Ending relationships is one of the most miserable things to do and i truly do feel for ya. Just thought i'd share a little bit of radio conversation i heard this morning and found it very fitting in this circumstance. so on the "women are crazy" note...I heard a radio personality this morning explain the difference between crazy guys and crazy girls like this: Crazy guys you can see from a mile away and so therefore you avoid them at all costs (usually). I mean come on you take one look at Jeffrey Dahlmer with the wild look in his eyes and the desheviled hair and you can tell that he is absolutely loopy. You don't even need to see the skulls that he was keeping in his freezer to know that he's insaine. It's kind of like a crazy guy is a 65 mph. fastball....you can see it coming and just crush it. Women on the other hand are of a completly different crazy breed. They hide it extrordinarily well for about the first 7 months of a relationship and really pull you in. Of course the guys think they are in heaven and then WHAM they completely go off the deep end and your left watching her pour mustard and ketchup on your brand new couch. They are like a slider in baseball which looks solid all the way up until the last second and then it changes directions and your left dumbfounded.

Even if he takes the ticket and goes to roo......there's no doubt that he'll be thinking about the ex-girlfriend and that will bum him out. Sure he could have fun at Roo but everything will be like "Oh this is a show we wanted to see so bad" or "that's her favorite band". many things will remind him of her.

but i'd still try to go. it's bonnaroo.
He will be doing that at home.. why not do it at Bonnaroo? Better off miserable at Bonnaroo then anywhere else.

i'd say he has a much better chance of forgetting to be miserable at Bonnaroo than he does staying home... a change of scenery usually helps to clear my head a bit.
