Camping Wristbands

[LoveKidRock]

I'm really confused about camping... if there are 2 people who will be camping out, does that mean I have to select '2' in the shopping cart and pay $50 per person? Or, do I just buy 1 space, and select '1' (paying only $50) in the shopping cart, and then let the people know when I arrive at Stagecoach that I'll need two wristbands? I feel like I'm really over-complicating things... Thanks for the help!

I am assuming you are referring to tent camping.....yes, you have to select 2 and pay $50 per person. It also determines the SIZE of the area they give you to camp. Every person going into the tent or RV camp areas (even if they are not camping) needs a CAMPING WRISTBAND. That is seperate from your SC ticket. If you have friends at a hotel and they want to stop by your tent on their way in or out of the festival, they would have to purchase a camping wristband to visit you.

Hope that helps! :)

[Kymery]

HTA...Does the TENT FORUM camping ticket include one person? So then they would only need to buy one more wristband? Or does this person have to buy one Forum ticket (for the space they need) then two wristbands, one for each of them? Not being a tent camper, this might be also what they are looking for?

[Countrygurl]

forum tent camping is sold per person. period.


1 person = 1 ticket
2 people = 2 tickets

and so on

regardless of if you are in one tent or sharing or whatever.

Then the question would be, how do you know how many tent camping spaces are sold, if sold like this? I mean, if 5 people buy tickets, and they only needs two spots for two tents...how would you know?...or do you just give them each their own space...then with that idea..you would have tons of extra spaces left to sell.

[IheartMillerLite]

You get a bigger space with more people. If you have 2 people they give you a smaller area than you would have if 5 of you were together when checking in.

How does Ticketmaster know that!!?? What if you are buying for 6 people..or say you are buying your own on your own card, then your friend buys theres...just something strange about that.

I would think one person has to buy a Forum camping ticket, and that also is a pass, then the others have to buy camping passes.

But hey...what do I know?

[IheartMillerLite]

I don't know, but if you don't show up together when you camp, you won't be next to each other.

[Countrygurl]

We gauge it off of how many tickets are sold and assuming an 8x8 space for each ticket/person.

We been doing tent camping for almost 10 years now. We got it down.

[Countrygurl]

If you want to tent camp together you need to arrive together.

[LoveKidRock]

Thanks, Everyone. I do agree that it's odd that if you have 6 people tenting together, but don't need 6 spaces, it gets a little difficult, but I guess that isn't my problem. Really appreciate everyone's help!

[Cooter]

you could not fit 6 people in an 8x8 spot. that is why each person gets 8x8 feet and each person needs a pass.

too much overthinking going on in this thread.

But hey...what do I know?

there is a finite amount of space on the tent camping field. so they continue to sell single tickets which each = 8 feet by 8 feet until all that room on the field is full. just basic math.

Well, good thing I do accounting for a living, not selling 8x8 spots!!;)

[oil_spill_bill]

Okay Countrygurl here is a question I asked before in a different way.

If I show up on Friday morning with Two camping passes (one for me and one for my girlfriend) and my girlfriend is showing up later how much tent space will they allow me?

My girlfriend teaches and will not be able to get there until later in the afternoon.
Any answers or advice is appreciated

[Countrygurl]

When you get there say me and my girlfriend are camping together. she is coming later. Please give me both our spots.

[IheartMillerLite]

Now I am confused...I thought we had to arrive TOGETHER in order to be given spots next to each other. We can just bring our friend's camping ticket when they aren't coming with us and we'll be a-ok?

I know, me too! Or...you can just get someone to act like they are with you with your other ticket and they will give them both to you...always a way when there is a will.!

[Countrygurl]

As long as people don't lie and abuse it, i dont think it will be that big a deal if you say "my girlfriend is coming late but i want her next to me" or "my girlfriend is comging later, we need two spots for our tent to fit"

Make sure you print this page and bring it with you when you try that! LOL!
:p

[Kymery]

brwaaahahahaaa Made my morning girl!:D

[oil_spill_bill]

Thank you all.
I'd really hate to have to tear the tent in half and put her somewhere else.
Okay I wouldn't do that.

[IheartMillerLite]

Wow, I SWEAR this whole time you've been telling us we MUST arrive together in order to camp together. It would've saved a lot less hassle if we could've done that last year.

[Countrygurl]

If you are sharing a tent then of course they are not going to make you rip it in half. sheesh.

If everyone arrives and trys to save extra spaces, its not going to work. You SHOULD arrive together to camp together. If you are sharing a bigger tent let them know.

The problem is if your extra people are bringing extra tents then you could have trouble saving spaces. Can't promise they gonna let you do that especially if it is filling up. People tend to lie so a few bad apples spoil the whole bunch ya know? Just be smart about it.

oi vey

[Kymery]

I think the tent ripping was a joke!! sheesh

I think the point is being missed here. These people are asking that IF they bring BOTH their camping passes, to prove they have two spots...then can they get two spots without the other person being there.

[Countrygurl]

I think my point is being missed too.

If they are sharing a tent it shouldnt be a problem. If there are mulitple people with multiple tents then it might be a problem, especially as spots fill up, hence telling people you MUST arrive together, hence avoiding that problem all together. because sadly, people lie and will be saving spots just to try and get extra room, ruining it for legit people.

[Kymery]

But AGAIN, they are asking this: IF I have TWO TENTS and I have both camping passes, BUT my friend cant show up for a bit, can I have both spotsNOW.

NOT people wanting two spots for one tent.

So...maybe they should show up with BOTH tents as proof? Come get me peeps, we will go in with you and help you set up your tent! Ok...for a price...a couple cervesa's!!

[Countrygurl]

well, based on what I have said repeatedly, I would think it would be safest to show up with two tents then. to avoid any hassle that might happen. sorry for the confusion everyone.

[oil_spill_bill]

We have a number of different tents, including a 2 room and a 3 room. I was thinking about using a multi-room tent to have a storage place for coolers and clothes and stuff, like suggested by one of my new friends.

If they give give a prob I'm gonna find one of you to pretend to be my girl for a minute :-)
It would be worth a coupla drinks.

I didn't really think it would be much of a problem. Thank you Countrygurl,

Tent camping is gonna be out of control this year! Hey Sacramento, can you say jello shots??!!

[SACRAMENTO!!!]

Hell yeah! Jello Shots!!! We were just talking about that yesterday. Don't worry... they WILL be blue again this year.

[WestCoastLady]

Sheesh, y'all are making me feel like a loser for having a hotel room....

Can I come by and have a *soda* with you, too?

(I am learning soooo much already for next year - so glad I'll only be a Stagecoach Virgin for one year!)

You can come by and visit us anytime...you just gotta get into the camp grounds. :D

[hodgee5]

Come on over and have some magic in a cup!

[oil_spill_bill]

Jello shots,
Now why didn't I think of that.
Oh yeah
TENT CAMPERS ROCK

[SACRAMENTO!!!]

The Jello Shots are popular. :) Be careful letting too many people know you have them though. They will be gone in no time.

Don't forget to pack the vodka watermelon. YUMMY!

[IheartMillerLite]

We'll bring some jello shots this year too Sacramento. Yay for tenting it!!

[oil_spill_bill]

TENT CAMPERS ROCK

[hodgee5]

Haha yes, yes they do.

[oil_spill_bill]

Do we just make bowls of "Jello Shots" or what?

[hodgee5]

You can do that, but people usually make them in little plastic shot looking things.

[oil_spill_bill]

I would think that the little plastic shot glass looking things would look suspiciuosly like an alcoholic beverage to anyone looking in the cooler?

[honkytonkangel]

Most likely they won't check your cooler, so thats good. And they are the little cups for like, salsa, or salad dressing that have the little plastic lids....you have NEVER had them before?!?!?
You are in for a treat, just be careful, they catch up to ya!!

[oil_spill_bill]

I've had jello shots, they're a big favorite at my sister's parties (they throw the bestest parties, at least I think I remember the parties are great) I was just wondering how to get them past "The Man"

do the other men on your rig know you use the term "bestest"? :p

[SACRAMENTO!!!]

I prefer a bowl of jello shots all to myself. :)

[Rose]

I'm ducking right now....

I have to admit that I've never tried a jello shot.

Give me some recipies to try out. THANKS!

[festivalfan]

this is the year Rose...you'll get hooked. They go down nice...then whammo!! Kind of like the peach kami's you got us hooked on. Oh, and if Angie makes her lemon drop shots?? that is an absolute must, too. They are killers, in disguise!!

[WestCoastLady]

Rose, I'm right there with ya'. Never had a jello shot. And I thought I had tried just about everything alcohol-related in my lifetime ;)

Off to google "jello shot recipes" ~ unless anyone feels like posting one or shooting me one by PM....

[oil_spill_bill]

Every time you all talk about drinking it brings a tear to my eyes,,,, I love you guys

[festivalfan]

ha ha.. get your kleenexes out !!

Rose you have too. :eek: At the Country Luau. We all did. Although it was after the KamaKazzies, maybe thats why you don't remember them. ;)

We did?? oh.. wow, this is not good.....ha ha

[IheartMillerLite]

Haha, you sure did try a jello shot! It was near the end of the night--they were red. Darn those kamikazes!

[Kymery]

I am sure we will have tons of them...since kuntrygurl is staying with me!! she brought bags and bags of them to Toby Keith Concert...she ended up selling them to some guy for his group! She made bucks!!!

[oil_spill_bill]

I'm thinking Peach jello and Vodka?

[festivalfan]

sounds good....!!!
I like watermelon jello and vodka....there are so many flavored vodkas now that the liquor will just blend in to any jello. the last party I went to, they squirted just a tad of whipped cream on top, to disguise the alcohol. very good!
I have vague memories of the jello shots at the luau, girls.....

[Lizzy]

I took some jello shots to S.C last year they are always a hit. Watermelon is always a favorite.

[Lizzy]

Have you guys heard of the suck and blow jello shooters? I have thought of ordering these for parties or stagecoach.
www.suckandblow.com

[oil_spill_bill]

A good friend of mine make Peach Margaritas with Tequila and Peach Pucker, maybe that would make good jello.


There's always room for Jello

[Lizzy]

Was just on suckandblow website looking at their recipes and they have a recipe for bloody mary, cosmos, margarita jello shots.

[Kymery]

Have you guys heard of the suck and blow jello shooters? I have thought of ordering these for parties or stagecoach.
www.suckandblow.com

Yes..they do those at some bars..I had one of those thingies they do them in..lost it!! grrrr

[IheartMillerLite]

Here is my friend's tried and true recipe. I'll be bringing some to the forum! =) And I mean a cooler full!

RECIPE:
Basically I just follow the recipe on the side of the box but I substitute liquor for 1/2 of the cold water. The easiest way is to mix it in a pitcher so it’s easy to pour into the salsa cups. Put the jello in a pitcher then add the boiling water (2 cups for large pkg, 1 cup for small), stir until it’s dissolved, making sure to scrape the bottom of the pitcher. Add cold water (1 c for lg, 1/2c for sm) and liquor (1 c for lg, 1/2c for sm ). Stir briefly to combine. Pour jello mix into salsa cups. You should get about 25 for a large batch. Layering the jello cups obviously saves room in the fridge but if you are going to layer just make sure that the lower layers are ventilated or there will be condensation trapped in the cups and they won’t set as well. I start with a metal pan or cookie sheet then I put a cooling rack on top of the first layer and stack up a second layer. I usually chill the jello overnight. Just make sure the jello is set BEFORE putting the lids on the salsa cups or again, there will be condensation inside the cups.

[festivalfan]

ML...don't think I can wait till Stagecoach to try this !! I may need to do a trial run at home..! thank you.. very easy to follow. I can see the jello shooters are going to be a big hit this year...

[KittyLeigh]

The receipe IHML posted works great and they taste YUMMY! Here's our friends' suggested combos of liquor / Jello (not just vodka and jello!) :) I think my fave has been the pineapple - but can't remember if we made it with mango or coconut rum last time. YUM.....

JELLO FLAVOR-----COLOR-----POSSIBLE/SUGGESTED LIQUORS

lime-----green-----citrus vodka

berry blue-----blue-----raspberry vodka, blueberry vodka

grape-----purple-----vanilla vodka

black cherry-----dark red-----vanilla vodka

cherry-----red-----vanilla vodka

peach-----light orange-----vanilla vodka, mango rum

pineapple-----light yellow-----mango rum, pineapple rum, coconut rum

lemon-----yellow-----citrus vodka, pink lemonade vodka

tropical fusion-----red-----coconut rum, any tropical flavor rum

blackberry fusion-----dark reddish purple-----raspberry vodka

melon-----light green-----midori

[SACRAMENTO!!!]

You MUST use smurf blue Jell-O!!! :)

[WestCoastLady]

I'm so surprised I didn't get called on the carpet today at work for googling "jello shots recipes"....

Okay, I have a question: I'm staying at a hotel for SC but hope to come out and party with y'all at some point ;)

Is there going to be a way I make up some goodies and bring them in to share when I come to the camping area? Thoughts? Ideas?

And has anyone ever made the orange cup jello shots? Where you put the jello shot in the hollowed out orange half and then slice up to look like orange wedges?

[IheartMillerLite]

You MUST use smurf blue Jell-O!!! :)

We'll let you bring the blue ones and we'll cover the rest. =)
