Thank you for the most oppressive, fascist, police-state of a festival. Your security was abusive, violent, preformed occasional illegal acts, violated people right to privacy and dignity, and at all times made me feel like a criminal. I broke no laws at Bonnaroo, but for the low, low price of $250 I was treated like shit. My girlfriend was "searched" so hard that she bruised an ovarian cyst, a pain worse than LABOR! I was repeatedly fondled, interrogated, intimidated, and verbally harassed by heavy-handed security guards. You can forget about seeing this three-time Bonnarooer again unless you make a public promise to treat people who have or potentially have committed victim-less crimes with dignity and respect, and immediately pursue legal action against those staff who assaulted attendees at Bonnaroo 2009. You are two steps away from having a full blown Altamont on your hands. Feel lucky that this law student was not personally or physically assaulted by your staff. Beyond that, I arrived at 10 am, waited for 7 hours, and was forced to camp 20 minutes from water and 30 minutes from medical assistance. Additionally, there was no road into our campsite because your workers parked cars in it. You did a poor job of executing the festival this year, and if I were in power at your organization, heads would roll.
Thanks for listening, Paul Heinemann Indianapolis, Indiana
^agreed. I didn't have any issues the whole weekend and didn't see any. 3 times I went in they opened the gates and let everyone through, security was shaking our hands, telling us to have a good time and don't be stupid. At one point the head of security at the non-arch gate was yelling "Hey, who's nervous? Don't worry, we don't search everywhere, you can figure it out, you're smart people!" and laughing while letting everyone in without searches.
Seriously. And this stuff went out to CNN, the New York Times, and Rolling Stone? Ugh.
Yeah, I would really hate for that to get out and make it look bad for all of us. I AM sorry for your situations but come on man. Hit it to them not to the dayum media.
I literally could have snuck an small anti aircraft gun into Bonnaroo this year. My only search was stopped when my cooler lid was stuck. I said I dont have any glass and he said I believe you.
I stand by what I and my girlfriend experienced, I'm glad you didn't. Having Bonnaroo's illegal activity activity released to the press can only help the situation. Sorry, but i believe that corporations should be held accountable, but if you just want them to get a pass, then, well we have noting else to talk about.

Yeah, I'd like to sign up for some fondling too. Just a little. I'll take one unit of fondling, please. Do I get to choose who administers the fondling? Because I have some suggestions.

I don't think that public scrutiny of their searching methods is gong to work to the advantage of most attendees.

Then give specifics not vague accusations. You make it sound like you guys got cavity searched or something, when in reality you maybe got frisked, and maybe your camelbak searched.

I would like to suggest Grace Potter for my fondling please.

Corporations held accountable? This is America man. That kind of thing doesn't happen here.
Specifics!? How bout a guy grabbing my ball and saying "do you have any drugs in here?" I thought "fondle" was pretty specific. You want a date and time too?

lol at a law student getting all righteous and being so naive. any time someone uses the phrase open letter, you know there's going to be something funny in it.
