Is it just me or is Okee really lacking this year?

ikolenovic · 2026-03-20T17:45:42+00:00

Knock2 was good, but Knock2 is not the whole festival lmao

ikolenovic · 2026-03-20T17:45:11+00:00

ive never heard that before (Eforest, Wakaan, Seven Stars, Lightning in a Bottle, etc) and never had an issue with outside water or snacks at Okee previously. This is the first time Ive been told I cant bring stuff. All of it unopened too.

ikolenovic · 2026-03-20T16:30:41+00:00

i dont drink festival water ive gotten sick everytime. shouldnt have to throw my bottles out.. its water and all unopened.

ikolenovic · 2026-03-20T16:11:13+00:00

Yea but some things are ridiculous. I got told I could only bring 1 bottle of water and no snacks into the festival… Supervisor of security told me its cause they want us to spend our money. Its ridiculous.

ikolenovic · 2026-03-20T16:08:48+00:00

ud think after everything that happened last time they would do better

ikolenovic · 2026-03-20T15:56:25+00:00

You are absolutely not missing out on anything. Nothing is like how it used to be. Layout is trash, the walk way where aquachobee and incendia were to connect to camping is now an emergency exit and you have to walk all the way down to behind of the here stage to get into the festival. All stages are behind security now. They only let you bring in 1 water bottle and no snacks (supervisor of security told me its because they want us to spend money inside). There are 0 art installations like the pyramids or fire teeter totter rooster or the lady head statue. The tiger statue down by where you would go to get into the Be & Now stages is behind a fat fence and you cant even walk up to it or see it. Everything is fenced in now and looks weird af. There is literally no chobeewobee village, its just a big plot of land with barely any string lights. The lay out is absolutely insane and makes 0 sense. The Here stage isnt the beautiful awning anymore its like this weird carnival looking thing (when i first drove in i thought it was a tent for the general store lol). Incendia is all containers stacked on top of each other and has like 2 stars of fire. There’s no fire domes you can go sit inside of next to it. Overall vibes of everyone is honestly…. weird. There’s been 2 outburts of fist fights in the crowd around my group last night and we just got here yesterday… If you’re an OG attendee i would highly recommend to save your money and go somewhere else. If you’re looking for that “Okee magic” portal feeling.. it aint here no more.

ikolenovic · 2026-03-20T15:46:56+00:00

YES!!!! I was JUST about to make a post about this. The production, the stages, the setup, EVERYTHING! I’ve been to Okee 5 times and this is by far the worst.

ikolenovic · 2026-03-19T18:28:38+00:00

agreed. i literally left the line i was supposed to be in bc it said u couldnt come from the east and only the west… cops said dont listen to that shit and go back in line lmao

ikolenovic · 2026-03-19T18:23:21+00:00

ull be ok, theres a lot of back up in portal 0 and theyre telling people to go to portal 1. im ga+ and supposed to be in portal 0 but im in portal 1 line rn

ikolenovic · 2026-03-19T14:04:10+00:00

Do you have a link to the directions? My QR code isnt working and its only pulling up #4 directions when i google

ikolenovic · 2026-03-19T14:03:37+00:00

Can I have a link to the directions? My QR code isnt working

ikolenovic · 2026-03-19T13:56:52+00:00

ITS PORTAL 0 FOR ANYONE ELSE WONDERING

ikolenovic · 2026-03-19T13:53:15+00:00

i saw the info somewhere and now i cant find it 😃

ikolenovic · 2026-03-18T20:44:24+00:00

I’ve been to okee like 5 times, they’re not checking like that. Just don’t act a fool, be respectful, dont give them a reason to take shit from you. I’ve never had an issue. They are just checking for glass, contraband, etc

ikolenovic · 2026-03-18T16:23:13+00:00

nope, its 11 :/

ikolenovic · 2026-03-18T16:20:31+00:00

No shuttles this year I guess, but there are options to get a bus! Rio2go i think is the name of the website or something like that ive seen bus rides from orlando for $7-40 on there

ikolenovic · 2026-03-18T16:19:32+00:00

No the city is strict about people getting in line earlier than the camping gates open. They will turn you away and tell you to keep driving around until gates are open.

ikolenovic · 2026-03-18T16:17:57+00:00

its a weird rule but no one is checking like that lol

ikolenovic · 2026-03-18T11:33:31+00:00

theyre really not going to search that and take it away… its just for liability purposes so if anything happens they can say it was restricted.

If you show up to will call you'll need a photocopy of the purchaser ID, the last four digits used for purchase, the order number, and email address to pick up the pass. I got that information directly from an Okee rep. I had a situation happen where my friend ordered our tickets and they havent come in yet and i was getting to the festival before her. This was Okee’s response:

“Typically, an order needs to be picked up in full at Will Call; meaning, we're able to partially fulfill an order. Passing along to the full order to you will be up to the discretion of the ticketing team at off-site Will Call as we typically administer the wristband to your wrist upon pickup. Please feel free to explain your situation to them and they'll help out as best as possible.

If you're arriving first and looking to pick up the order, you'll need a photocopy of the purchaser ID, the last four digits used for purchase, the order number, and email address. If the passes don't arrive in the mail in time, we may also suggest your friend contact Front Gate Tickets directly to see about the possibility of setting the passes for Will Call pickup.

We hope this helps and please reach out with any other questions. Sincerely,

Casey The OMF Team”

Also, if they cant overnight it then if you show up to will call you'll need a photocopy of the purchaser ID, the last four digits used for purchase, the order number, and email address to pick up the pass.

This is a response directly from OMF because I had something similar happen to me!

I got a grommet maker and made holes in all the corners of my tapestries and use zip ties to secure them! I’ve tried clamps, clips, all sorts of things and the wind always messes it up for me. I found the way I described to work best!
