It is???

When I bought it wasn't even an option for me.

And I even looked for it again, too, because I loved that I was literally the only one there. It was so quiet.

I know it wasn't there when I bought, because I tried it on my laptop after it wasn't there on my phone.  Oh well.

Not sure if this helps... I originally bought regular camping...then I realized my Canadian skin would not be able to handle the hot heat of the Virginia August sun.  Frontgate tickets won't let you return or exchange tickets, but they will let you upgrade.  So I bought forest camping instead and they refunded my regular camping ticket.

 CANADA!? Are you on the road yet. I ask cuz I know it'll take a long long time to get here on those square tires.   

The square tires are not a lie.  I used to live in the Yukon and drive a shitty little Nissan pick up truck.  When they're frozen and your tires a low they freeze flat and your vehicle tosses you around inside like you're a puppet.  I feel like most of south park is based on facts.  However, I've not watched a lot of it.  I will be flying into Richmond with reward miles...

I haven't watched SP in a while but some of the episodes are too funny. An outstanding take on current events. 
By the way...

Good idea as August can (and usually is) brutal. Not just the sun. 90+%  humidity just sucks the life out of ya. When you feel full of water, drink another quart, d0h, I mean liter.

Pee clear, never fear.
Pee stinky, have a drinky.

[smosey wales]

I understand upper Midwest/prairie summertime humid heat can be like ours, just for not as long.

Happy to say that I was able to upgrade my weekend ticket to a full festival ticket today, so I can officially look forward to any sit-in performances on the Festival Line-up or any other special event happening Thursday, and more music experience overall. I swore I would read lots before posting more, but can I ask here for background, is there a discussion group (or thread) for folks bringing musical instruments to the campground?  (I'm novice level, btw, but always interested).

Glad that you were able to upgrade. I don't think that there is a thread about bringing instruments but feel free to start one...

[smosey wales]

I recall a couple of years ago someone posted about getting together for some jams. As the Mayor suggests, you can start a thread; I suggest waiting until a couple weeks before the event.

You know there are probably others here in the same situation, folks that could throw in together on a camping pass and save some money. Let's see if we can get a thread started to connect the dots......
