They need to be consistent with their security rules. Day 1&2 they allowed soft seat backs and inflatable couches. Day 2 they wouldn’t allow our seat backs through security even though no metal in them. But others were let in. Day 3 no inflatable couches. Can’t bring anything for comfort for a long day on the grass. They need to be consistent with their rules and allow low setbacks. Been here 4 years buying 3 day passes. Line up this year plus security BS will most likely not return.

Our last Bottlerock. Lineup not as good. They don't listen to suggestions. Inconsistent on what is allowed in as far as seating and it changes daily. Will say it's OK at the gate and have you remove seatbacks inside. Prices seem to go up every year beyond inflation with very little care for overall experience.

VIP tickets were my birthday gift from Mr.&Mrs Chris Stober,I turned 63 on May 24th. This was the best birthday ever,I can't walk at all right now but it was so so worth it. The staff handled everything perfect. Thank you so much I'll be back next yr.

If you can afford VIP it’s worth every dollar. This was the second time attending. First time was in 2019. This time I purchased in advance 3 days of General admission. On day 2 I decided to get an upgrade and purchase VIP for the Saturday. Apart from being able to be near the front at both main stages. It was a much more civilized experience. The food was amazing. But even better in VIP. Prices for food and drink were outrageous. Be prepared to spend as much or more on food and drink as you will for admission. On to the music. Metallica on day one was awesome and the sound system first class. Black cows on day 2 we’re great. One thing is you literally stand all day. Cashed in my tickets for days 3 because it was exhausting. Will see me there again next year in VIP. .

We travelled from Canada to attend this festival. Friday Night Stevie Nicks Headliner Act was Cancelled. Replaced with Chris Stapleton (Cancelled) I don't know how they find it acceptable to replace a headliner of that magnitude with a below par act? The grounds have limited shade areas. Beer is $14 US and the food was outrageously expensive. Can of water was $4. Long lineups to get in. Poor Security. Pick pockets stealing phones. Sound Engineers did a poor job with the sound. Weather was excellent, but they need air conditioned buses and tents.
