Hey all, long time lurker but first post so please be gentle!
We're looking to make our first adventure to the farm this year but really just want to make a day trip of it instead of camping. I'd rather not drive and am hoping the shuttle option is what will work best for us.
The thing is we actually live in Murfreesboro approximately 5 minutes from the Embassy Suites. I see they have a package that includes a shuttle service but can't figure out if that is only usable by folks who are staying at the hotel or if it can also be purchased as an add on whether staying at the hotel or not.
Obviously since we live so close it would be preferential to shuttle from the Boro as opposed to driving out of the way to Nashville, take a shuttle back past our house both directions, then drive back home. Just wanted to check, and if there are other shuttle options out of the Boro I'm overlooking please let me know. Thanks!

As far as I know the Murfreesboro shuttle service as sold through Bonnaroo is only attached to the hotel package:
Let's say I decide to drive myself. How bad is it usually on a Saturday getting into Roo? I'm expecting that would be mostly local traffic so would hopefully not be as busy as Thursday or Friday.

before I did the shuttle last year i did day parking (driving from murfreesboro, like you) from 2012-2015. To answer your question, it varies based on popularity of the acts that day (obviously) and how many volunteers roo has setup at the booths. So I've been in traffic for ten minutes for day parking, and one time on Saturday day parking was backed up almost to the interstate, ended up taking over an hour (2014 I think).
Basically if you decide to drive yourself, just leave yourself a healthy time buffer so you don't miss any acts you want to see.

Stuck driving in/out this year. What time did you go in on average? What observable difference did you find between say 2 pm and 5-6 pm?

I drove in and out 2012-2015, and always arrived between 1 and 3pm, so I can't comment on 5-6 pm. I'd plan for at least an hour of traffic, plus time to walk from day parking to centeroo. Hopefully traffic won't be an hour, but I'd rather play it safe if you are trying to not miss an afternoon act.

Thanks. I don't plan on seeing much during the day. There are only about 3-4 acts that could get me there before 5. Hopefully the schedule doesn't suck.
