Clarification on the line procedure

[Pilgrim99]

They need to get on track with the line. Last year there was no order once numbers were handed out, unlike previous years.

I'm confused by this....do you mean after the people holding numbers were let in, it was a complete free-for-all for everyone else in "line"?  Or do you mean that people without numbers were cutting in line among the people with numbers just before the gates opened?

Yes, would you clarify? I've been in line with a number every day for the last few years, and didn't notice anyone cutting. After the last number passes thru, it is a free-for-all (from personal experience in previous years).

SO PUMPED for the fest -- I have a question about access -- I walk with a cane and have a really hard time standing for long periods of time.  My brothers and I sit in the back half, so we don't do the tarp run; we just saunter in and set up somewhere. But I was wondering if there's any handicapped access entrance where I could go in without standing in line.

Having perused around the forum for a few years now, I never really see handicapped access brought up, but it's got to be an issue for many.

Any info would be welcome.

I will keep an eye out for anyone needing assistance and will help you in whatever way you need to get to your spot.  See you there!

I have seen chickens and gorillas, but not any disabled folks, do the "Tarp run". But even if you don't do the run you can get a decent spot (it is a pretty intimate gathering after all).
As for getting into the festival post Tarp run, never really experienced any kind of long line. We just walk over from camp, a nice person checks our bag, and we walk right in. Set our stuff down in the back and then go wherever you want. People are cool-- you can hang anywhere. BAsically the kindest environment you can imagine....

This is strictly pertaining to the Town Park side of the line. I remember in 2012 that the line was not run as well as in years past. It wasn't a total free for all, but it was more of a free for all with number holders. I can't speak for the GA line.

What do you mean by the "Town Park side of the line"? Is there more than one tarp line...?

Yes there are two tarp lines, one for the TPers and another for the rest of us...

and they hand out a separate set of numbers for each of the 2 lines?

Yep.   You got it!  Can't wait to get out there myself....leaving in less than 12 hours!

Is one line better (easier/shorter/start later) than the other one??

Pretty there is an official handicapped section inside the soundboard cage.

If you are in Town Park, you can gain entrance by the medical tent and not have to walk all the way in from the bag check area. There is a person there manning a gate, and they are always very gracious. If you are not in Town Park, then I believe you come through the main gate with everyone else.
