For the main stage shows you can lay down an 8x10 tarp to reserve a seating area for your group.
Schedule;
At 8am ticket numbers are handed out, most people arrive around 7am to get in line, although there are a number of people sleeping in tents in line. Then there are those who get there at 4am bringing a sleeping bag to finish off their nights rest. Numbers from 1-5 are handed out based on how far up front in line you are.
At 10am you come to the main stage and get set up in numbered corrals corresponding to your number. Ones are let out first to claim their spots, twos next. etc
This used to be called the tarp run and you would recruit your fastest members to dash to the best spot. That led to some unacceptable behavior and was renamed to the tarp shuffle, although the fastest ones now skip their way there.
At 6 pm the shows start. There are numerous colorful poles flying all sorts of objects so your party knows where your tarp is located.
While it was still a run I didn't help with this but this year in order to pull my weight I was in line for the tickets every morning at 6:30. #2's on Fri., Sat. and a #1 for the first time in our groups history on Sun. This leads to very short nights since the main shows end at midnight and we get into the tents at 1 am.
