In & Out of venue

[shuitink]

First timer here... My friends and I are NOT camping onsite, but staying locally at a hotel. If we chose to leave for a few hours to go back and rest, will we be allowed to re-enter the venue the same day?

No you cannot:

•Ins & Outs (between venue &
camping only)

[pandalove1027]

In the "Venues & Rules/FAQ" section of the site it says...

Ins & Outs (between venue & camping only)

So it seems not.

[shuitink]

Bummer, thank you for the responses!!

The shaded areas underneath the side stages work in a pinch if you want to take a quick nap.

It should not be a problem as long as you are not driving your car. If you leave the festival to go back to your hotel you would need to take a cab. The no "in and out" rule is mainly for people wanting to drive their cars back and forth.

[JNPatton]

Good point SPK! I had assumed that you meant driving too, I've done in-and-out in years past without a problem.

[shuitink]

Hmmm...some say no, but SPKemo says yes. According to the SC rule list, the only in's-out's allowed are from the venue to the rv park. But I'm thinking they can't force people to stay inside all day, especially if you have children, which fortunately I do not. I just want to clarify so that we can plan accordingly. Is there a phone # that I can call to get a definite answer? Thanks everyone!!

Well logic says: You only need a GA wristband to be in camping areas (there are no camping wristbands). From camping, I could walk/cab/shuttle OUT of the venue to go to the store, go to will call office, get something from my car. So I think you're fine!

I've never heard of this.

So we CAN leave the venue to go to our cars but just cant drive off and come back??? Is that right? I thought we werent able to leave the festival at all unless youre camping???

The festival map makes it look like GA parking is super close to the festival entrance...NOT

This place is so BIG...remember it's sold out, 55K people. I can't imagine going twice in one day.

You can leave the festival if you're not camping, because there is NO WAY to tell if you're camping or not! There is no camping wristband, just a sticker for your car.

If it says no ins and outs I wouldnt trust it. Cuz they do have every road to festival blocked off about 1/2 mile to mile outside of festival. So maybe they mean if you go outside that boundary you will not be allowed back in. so make friends with people camping and hang out there and rest up if need be

Youre right I forgot about that...i guess my main concern is if we are able too, then can my group can have some coolers in the cars and then go out during the day to go uhh hydrate but I have no idea how far itll be since i have NO clue what to expect in general parking except complete chaos. So I dont even know if itll be worth it.

Ok...think about it. What if you just GET to the festival in the evening? How on earth do they know if you haven't already been in?? Tracking devices? LOL, common sense says it's fine.

That is a brilliant idea!! Although I have no idea how we'd get it IN your campsite. I will send you a message on facebook as it gets closer and see if we can figure something out. Thanks!!

ANYBODY with a GA pass can go to ANY campsite. I'd just have to tell ya where we are
