The publicity machine behind this summer’s Bonnaroo music and arts festival has decided to turn the announcement of which bands will play into a lengthy event. Tickets are already on sale, and you can purchase them at bonnarootickets.com.
Tickets for the four-day festival, June 10 through 13, are pretty pricey. There were a limited number of tickets for $234.50. Once those are gone, the rest are $249.50, but before you take out payday installment loans to get a ticket, make sure you check out the payment plans available through the Bonnaroo web site or Bonnaroo MySpace page.
