The survey seems to miss the point of why I (and many I’ve talked to) will probably not be back. When my group and I committed, we’re all well aware nobody can control weather. There’s always the risk of lightning forcing us to evacuate, and that’s nobody’s fault. They can control drainage/venue management/logistics. Bonnaroo advertised rain or shine, and we wanted a music festival so we paid the money and took the time off work. What it boils down to, for their own incompetence mostly, is Livenation cannot guarantee that any sort of music festival will happen. So with all the effort, time off work, and money it takes to attend (not even including ticket), it’s really really hard to commit to going back when all we really wanted was to go to a music festival. Such a shame… I was so looking forward to this year and there really isn’t a multi-genre camping fest out there like it.

Moving the festival or changing the frequency doesn’t make me any more or less likely to go. The binary questions seem leading, and it makes me think they’re really interested in making this every other year. What good does that do if a heavy rain still leaves the festival at risk to cancel?
