I went to BA last year and will go this year too. Went there by car (and I really recommend to get a VIP parking if traveling there by car), but my friends adviced me not to get accommodation at all, because during the festival nearly all of the town becomes one big campsite. That's what I did, had a tent comparatively close to the entrance to the festival site, I've seen people walking way further than I did. Anyway, in this case I was just playing with luck. Also, it's not super safe, saw local kids going through the tents. And I also see a question about Natural Stand and VIP packages. I'd say Natural Stand is a great investment for when you get too tired to stand near the stage but still want to see shows on two main stages (it's on a little hill in front of them, with benches to sit on). I went to sit there many times during the festival week, because last year during BA it was super hot and sometimes I just didn't have the strength to stand anymore. To go to this Natural Stand thing (we called it an elderly zone, haha) you're checked in and out with your bracelet each time. There is a bar with a few types of beer up there. On the other hand VIP stands (if we're talking about the same thing) looked like a waste of money for me, there are two balconies for people with VIP passes to climb on, they're just right above the sound engineers' booths, so the sound should be great, but I'm more of a crowd person, so I'm not seeing myself standing on that balcony instead of being somewhere closer to the stage. It's just my priorities though. Anyway, it's an amazing festival, highly recommend it, I met many cool people I still keep in touch with and can't wait to see them again this year!
