Not 100% on where to put this, but we always get a locker for the 3 days, but this year I don't see anything about lockers. Does anyone know if those are gone this year? I am not being an asshole, and I am genuinely curious...but what do people store in these lockers?? Didn't get an asshole vibe at all from your question! We usually have 3 or 4 of us there for the weekend, so I'll leave my sunblock & any medicine in there throughout the weekend. At night I'll toss my sunglasses in there, and when we're supposed to be good on weather I'll throw my rain coat in there. Also, I'll generally keep my car keys in there just so I'm sure I don't lose them. I typically like to travel pretty light around the festival, so it definitely has come in handy.

There were normally a few of us that would throw stuff in it. Normally stuff like sunscreen and sunglasses at night. I liked it because I carry two phones. I threw the work phone in the locker and checked it every so often. They have chargers in them, so you can throw your phone in their for an hour or so if it gets low. It is also nice to throw any shirts or stuff that you purchase in there. That makes sense. I bring a cammelback so I hook my beer thermos on there and my sunscreen bottles filled with liquor in the small pockets. Guess it makes sense if you aren't a backpack person

I like this thermos idea. Everyone who sees it constantly talks about how good of an idea it is. My girlfriend drinks a beer in about 90 minutes so you can imagine that keeps it from going warm.

I'd say this is the best hack I've read so far on this thread. If you don't mind carrying it all around with you. nice job!

I can't believe I've never considered this before. And it's good for the environment!

Like the kind you have to put quarters in? I know VIP is going to have them. It's listed as one of the "perks" as first come first serve....not sure otherwise though Edit to say - I just remembered the ones they have at amusement parks, like Cedar Point or wherever. I think you just enter a pin or something? I'm realizing that those ones you have to put quarters in are probably permanent fixtures in buildings and wouldn't be mobile with the festival. So...yeah, ignore my stupidity on that one, haha :-) Still would like to know if you have to pay for them in some form, though :-)

I dont remember exactly.

I dont remember exactly. Pay with cash? I wonder if them being included in the VIP stuff means we don't have to pay for them....? Also - with regard to cash...I realize the website says that you need cash but "some vendors do accept credit cards".....anybody able to speak to this? Do most places really take cards? Or should we really be prepared to pay cash for everything?

Beer booths were very hit and miss because there are so many and most are volunteers. Almost all of the food places do take card because they are normal food trucks. The merch tents take cards.

They would then give you a pass code, which was nice for a group because we didn't need to find someone for the key or anything. I'm glad I decided to pickup a camelback this year though just in case the lockers are gone!

I think some of the workers get word and others dont and it's not possible to change something like that anyways.
