Hi Guys!
Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on where I can find a cheap shirt from this year? Every other year there has been tons of people walking around the campsites, but the only shirt I saw was an ugly tie dyed one that was unreadable. Thanks in advance

I had the same question and I really would like to get one because my shirt that I bought was also stolen. Also, does anyone know if they'll restock the official bonnaroo shirts on bonnaroo.com? Currently they only have small and XXL sizes left.

In pod 11, we had a shirt guy every hour on the hour coming through. Selling their shitty bootlegs for 20-25 each...go suck it. I ended buying one for 10.

I don't like buying from the campground vendors anymore. I've got too many shirts with misspelled band names. If I get asked who the "Disco Bisquits" are again i'll flip out.
I got a poster this year. Maybe gonna get a shirt later on from roo.com
Extra ugly bootlegs out there this year. The only one I took a close look at it, with a decent design, felt like it was some kind of cotton/wax paper blend.

I think it was the campground shirt vendors that were jacking stuff. Most of them them had zero credentials. The mounties rode through our site on Thursday. I could overhear their radio and they were looking for a shirt seller who was also stealing.

I am down with buying a $10 bootleg, but trying to sell those things for $20 is just ridiculous. I usually have no problem finding ok shirts for cheap. There was even one year that I talked the guy down to five bucks
The misspelled ones crack me up. I saw one a few of years ago that said "Tom Petty & the Heartbeaters." I almost wanted to buy it for the funny factor...

The misspellings just come with the territory, can't really complain. I saw some decent and some shitty bootlegs this year. Once Saturday hits and they're trying to sell shirts for $20-25 still I just laugh at them.
One guy came through my camp Sunday night after Widespread selling shirts for $5. I bought three of them. In my opinion the design is one of the coolest I saw all weekend. I'll post pics later.

I got one of the "decades of delight" bootleg shirts for $10 on Sunday. My days of buying $35 legit concert shirts are over but $10 is too good of a deal to pass up. I really wanted the fox print but damn they were pricey!!

At WSP had about 5 different guys come up to me and my gf got one like the first one pictured for 20 and another for 10. Which isn't bad when the official were goin for 30 or 35 a piece.

There was a dude camping RIGHT behind camp inforoo in this small little 1 person tent who ended up being a bootleg shirt guy. Nice guy. I gave him some water and he gave me a shirt for $5.

I had a bootleg shirt guy come by our camp on Monday morning. I heard him sell my neighbors a shirt for $10 so I decided to get one. When he got to my camp that a$$hole tried to sell me the same shirt for $15! Of course I called him out on it so he sold the shirt to me for $10 but a few minutes later when I unfolded it to show to one of my friends I noticed a piece of the picture on the back was missing and the guy was nowhere to be found! Lesson learned. Never again.
There's more that that... This was from the Bonnaroo that took place in the year 201.
HAH! I didn't notice that typo! I got the same t-shirt on Sunday. My roomie and I were having a good laugh at it when we got home. Eh, what can you do? It's a bootleg afterall....
I got the mushroom tee and one crazy tan design that I can't explain without a picture. We had a tshirt guy jip us on a 2fer30 deal. Made off with 35 bucks before we could get our combined dolllar bills sorted out.
We bought a few of the bootleg shirts. As well as pics from the guys selling the helicopter shots. I've washed my shirt a few times and it barely shrunk at all and really didn't fade either. I would suggest setting the dye if you buy any of the tye dye ones they sell.
I bought one of the unofficial vendor t-shirts last year and it was such a shitty shirt that I coughed up the extra money for an official one this year. A lot happier with my purchase even though it cost me 25 extra bucks.
