    Angry 1st Come 1st serve

    Obviously the Stagecoach camping people in charge do not know what this means....
    We drove hours on Thursday to get to Indio to be first in line or close to it to be camped close to the entrance to the festival since i have foot injuries. We arrived in plenty of time on Thursday and were among the first 10-20 people to pull into the Polo Grounds with our camper on Friday morning. We were shuffled all the way to the farthest point away from the entrance to the festival as possible.... The people who arrive later on Friday, got the spots that all of us that came early wanted. They tried to appease us by telling us we were close to the food vendors and showers, like that makes alot of sense to tell someone who is in a camper / motorhome. We had a shower and food with us, we came early to be close to the entrance. The walk after the concert was horrendous after all day on your feet. I enjoyed the festival alot, the camping orgination was appalling. It seem there was NO ONE in charge and the rules were being applied to some people and not across the board. We did not bring our BBQ, or dogs, or golf cart as the web site stated not to. But when we arrived others had and were using all these items. We were a little mad as we were so far away and could of definitely used our golf cart to soften the long walk to the festival. I think if you are first there in line to get a premium campsite, then you should be taken care of accordingly. If this does not change for next year, we won't be coming.

    I hear ya! We live in San Diego. Our friends are in San Bernardino. We wanted good spots together, so our friends drove to San Diego the week before, got out tickets, so they could reserve our spot as we couldn't come down till Fri. evening. They got there by 9 AM and were in line (Top 20) when they opened the doors, and got sent to the farthesr corner What makes it worse is the next day, when we walked to the entrance, we asked a camper (That was right across from the entrance) when they got in, they said LATE FRIDAY NIGHT!
    The concerts were great, but they better change this policy before next year, or we won't be coming!

    Well our experience was somewhat similar, our friends took our tickets so we could "camp together" like the web site said, they were able to save us a spot next to them, and when we got there late Friday night they told us we could not go in to the area we paid for because it "was too late and too dark", it was 10:30 pm and all the lights were still on, they shut the lights off at 11:00 pm. We paid for the oversized parking and they made us park in the over-flow far away from the entrance on Friday night. I guess we were lucky the next day when I got up at 5:00 am to go talk to the hired help and we got to move everything next to our friends after I made a huge deal out of it. I know it was the first year and all, but I sure hope they fix all this BS for next year or it will be our last also.

    Looks like the way the camping will be handled has changed quite a bit for
    '08. Check it out below. Do you all like the change?

    DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW THE "TOW VECH" WORKS? IF WE HAVE A 5th WHEEL, WE DON"T HAVE TO PAY $100 FOR OUR TRAILER AND ANOTHER $75 FOR THE TRUCK RIGHT??

    AND WHEN DO CAMPING TIX GO ON SALE?

    I asked Countrygirl the same question and it is $100 for the trailer, $75 for the tow Vehicle and another $150 if you want electrical! That is in the El Dorado 1 camping area. I'm not sure about the others

    Ok I understand the confusion now and have made an update to the website.

    A tow vehicle (steering wheel and motor) as an extra vehicle being towed behind... Not pulling.

    You can park it for FREE in the tow vehicle parking lot.

    Does that make sense now?

    Countrygurl - so for my truck and trailer, in El Dorado - it would be $100, then $150 if we wanted the electrical hookup instead of using our generator. Right?

    Camping is as follows:

    100.00 for Trailer: TT or 5ver and Truck that Tows it


    If you have a Class A or C that is Towing a Toad and you want to keep it at your site then there is an additional charge or 75.00


    The wording on the Website is a little weird.

    150.00 for 'lectric

    you dont have to pay for the vehicle that tows the trailer.

    a tow vehicle is if you are towing a whole extra car. and you dont even have to pay for that if you park it in the parking lot.

    Wink Re: 1st Come 1st serve

    I agree , I also showed up early last year...Was right at the clubhouse the furthest point from the entrance to the concert.
    Why can't they enter on the other end so the early birds get the GOOD stops by the concert & put the power there also since its 150.00 (alittle high) for that. Or put the pow down the whole north side then if your late you'll still get power just down the other side.

    Question COUNTRYGURL!!

    Countrygurl..

    Now that the correction on the wording is up .. and there was confusion, will Goldenvoice/ticketmaster refund for the mistake? My brother in law bought the extra today thinking the pulled trailer needed its own ticket seperate from the towing vehicle.
