NEW FOR 2025: Please note vehicle re-entry is strongly discouraged. Vehicles choosing to do so will be charged an additional fee of $40. Fees collected go towards greening initiatives and carbon offsets on The Farm.
Depending on the time and traffic you also may not be able to leave until inbound traffic has died down. This doesn’t usually happen until Friday evening, so do NOT plan to leave and come back on Wednesday or Thursday, or even Friday morning - again you should plan to avoid leaving if you can.

Bonnaroo is an all ages event and children are allowed to attend. There is no minimum age to attend.
Children 8 years old and under (at the time of the festival) may attend without a ticket as long as they are accompanied by a ticket-holding adult. The limit is 2 children per ticket-holding adult.

- Kids 2 and younger are free in Platinum with a ticketed adult.
- Kids 9 years old and above will need to have a regular Platinum ticket for entry into the Platinum areas.
Proof of age will be required for entry with a Platinum Kids ticket. Learn more about age verification.
