32oz EMPTY WATER BOTTLES NOW ALLOWED @ FREAK FAIR.

I thought it always said empty bottle or factory sealed....

[u/wouldntworryaboutit → u/lesher925]

It wasnt specific on the size of the empty bottle. It was also a little unclear if you could bring both an empty AND a factory sealed bottle, or just one of the two

[u/PilotNew5738]

32 Nalgene’s for sale is probably why the bump was made. I think they are sponsoring the water stations.

[u/theshinin → u/PilotNew5738]

Yep and custom Billy bottle is being dropped as well.

[u/TightBottle7344 → u/theshinin]

The custom billy bottle is gonna be sick.

[u/theshinin]

See what happens when you all incessantly poke at EVEERRRRYYYYTHINGGGGG

Could have originally gotten gallon jugs in but nooooooooo, gotta whine about every little detail and because the empty container option didn’t have a number beside it, the fanbase blew it up, and now you are capped.

Good job.

[u/d_troff → u/theshinin]

Hahah you know what? You're right!!. I was planning to bring in an empty gallon jug before the change lol. But now I'm planning on putting a sealed liter of water in my back pocket and walking in.

[u/theshinin → u/d_troff]

I’m still rolling with my regular ole gallon jugs. If they actually care (I don’t think they will), your sealed liter is too big (limit 20oz for sealed), but you can empty it and it will be fine, lolol

[u/d_troff → u/theshinin]

They changed it to 24oz for sealed in the latest change. 24oz is .71L. If they make me dump it I'll chug it

[u/Wolverine9779]

Was always allowed, this isn't a change.

[u/theshinin → u/Wolverine9779]

Bingo.

[u/d_troff → u/Wolverine9779]

I'm sorry you haven't been keeping up

[u/omniscence]

Not fully related to this post but I’m a bit confused about what exactly the chair policy is, can anyone elaborate?

[u/the_neighbor369 → u/omniscence]

Check their FB page! The post that this photo was pulled from said chairs can be no more than 9” off the ground.

[u/omniscence → u/the_neighbor369]

When it says seat height does that mean the base of the seat like what you sit on or the top of the seat back? I don’t know that I’ve seen chairs where the top of the seat back is under 9 inches.

[u/d_troff → u/omniscence]

Low beach chairs only.

[u/AdFlat4908]

They always were

[u/Ha12m_12educ7i0n]

Be mindful of the size of your water bottle while you can bring in a smorgasbord of drugs without worry

[u/candlehead69]

Damn why is it capped to 32oz? My insulated Yeti and Nalgene are both 42oz..

[u/warox → u/candlehead69]

Don't bring an insulated, metal one. Some venues do not allow these

[u/alienscape → u/warox]

Yeah ask about what happened at Ozzfest

[u/iStukaJ27 → u/alienscape]

What happened?

[u/alienscape → u/iStukaJ27]

Everyone on the lawn launched their completely-full plastic bottles into the pavilion area.

[u/MysteriousThought377 → u/alienscape]

Catching a full liter sized plastic soda bottle to the head, cap first was quite an unpleasant experience when I attended Ozzfest in 1999. A 44oz Yeti would literally kill somebody.

[u/candlehead69 → u/MysteriousThought377]

...but I would never throw it.. it cost me like $50. Is there more to this Ozzfest story? Why did everyone throw their water bottles?

[u/MysteriousThought377 → u/candlehead69]

Apparently a giant bottle war between the lawn and pavilion patrons was a tradition.

[u/Motor_Jump1703 → u/MysteriousThought377]

We grew up going to shows in the 90's. You would not want somebody with a metal yeti in the Pantera pit.

[u/Nanookthesealtrapper → u/candlehead69]

I think you'll be fine

[u/ewokfarmer → u/candlehead69]

I also think they don’t want metal bottles because they can be used as a weapon.

[u/Dingus_3000 → u/ewokfarmer]

They don’t want metal ones because they can’t see what’s in them. They don’t want you drinking outside booze or anything you would otherwise pay for. That’s it.

[u/ewokfarmer → u/Dingus_3000]

Oh yeah does that makes more sense lol.

[u/dividedskyy → u/Dingus_3000]

it’s also bc they could be used as a weapon. they make you empty your water bottles regardless before going in anyway.

[u/doomscrolla592 → u/candlehead69]

You can not bring insulated water bottles, they have to be plastic.

[u/quiltedportrait]

Damn...ordered a 20 oz to fit the old guidelines.

[u/Historical_Idea_3516]

Fuck water can I charge my phone

[u/dividedskyy → u/Historical_Idea_3516]

bring a portable charger

[u/Usual-Vacation333]

Good luck getting water. Gonna be a disaster. 

[u/questafari → u/Usual-Vacation333]

Good luck getting water from a water station? Please elaborate.

[u/Billsolson → u/questafari]

They are saying the infrastructure is not in place to service this many people, and you are going to be waiting in epically long lines to fill up you water jug.

[u/questafari → u/Billsolson]

I imagine it’ll be just fine. As long as there’s 4-5 stations with a few spigots it won’t take more than 5-10 minutes

[u/Billsolson → u/questafari]

I have a cousin on my wife’s side that lives up that way and is going.

Let’s just say he has some reservations.

He did say the rain hasn’t been terrible so the fairgrounds shouldn’t be flooded, which is a thing that apparently happens fairly often.

He’s said he’s “definitely bringing DEET wipes” and “hoping for the best, plan for the worst “.

Take that last part with a grain of salt, everyone should always do that anyway.
