I know land rush is Saturday, but I'm wondering if we have to pay to camp in Town Park until the festival actually starts on Thursday? For some reason I thought I read someplace that there's a camping/park fee?

No fee is charged from Land Rush all the way through the end of festival. Only people with Town Park tickets can camp there during that time.

I was under the impression that you only need tickets after Wednesday? Otherwise, in the meantime anyone can hang out in Town Park?

Camping there requires tickets for Town Park for all days. Hanging out and visiting before Thursday is cool as I've been told.

They are supposedly checking for wristbands beginning noon Wednesday, but since I've always had a wristband, I don't know how stringent they are when checking prior to festival.

You can hang out in Town Park prior to Wed. and after Land Rush, but I know that you are encouraged to get your wristband as quickly as possible to minimize complication when they actually begin checking. 

You technically should not be in the camping area that you haven't paid for, and there isn't a mechanism in place to pay to camp without a camping pass.

In previous posts, I asked if it was ok for someone else to go on Saturday and pitch my tent and get things set up as I'm coming in from DC and couldn't get that much work off. At the moment, he doesn't have a ticket, but I was under the impression that it didn't matter until Wednesday night.

... can someone from PB verify?

My experience is that Festivarians are the BEST self-policing crowd out there, and that type of behavior will not be tolerated IF its an issue.

I mean, I'm also a TP virgin, but what constitutues a "prime" spot vs. a bad spot? It's it just a big baseball field?

Four years ago we had 6 people camped next to us, they got there for Saturday land grab and took up more than there fair share of land. I had ask them if we could use some of there "tarped spaces" as we had some friends coming in on Sunday, they not so politely declined as they claimed to also have friends coming in. As it turned out no friends showed up and they packed up on Wednesday and left, I found out later that these people do this every year, just come camp and party for 4 or 5 days then leave. So yes it does happen, the only way I know how to stop this is to get wrist bands starting on Saturday. I just hate the idea of making more rules because of a few low life's.

The campground is not a ball field. If you don't get a spot you will end up camping on a pile of rocks.
