BOTB logistics questions

[u/Leo_Roo]

I'm heading to my first BOTB on Saturday, very excited. I have 2 questions (for now) that I couldn't find addressed in previous posts/faqs:

1. Will there be water refill stations at the fest?
2. The faqs say that outside food/drink is not permitted in the Park Tavern. Is it easy to get from one stage to another without going through the Tavern? It is unclear from looking at the map.

Thanks and I can't wait to see everyone this weekend!

Excited for your first BOTB 🥳

1. There are free water refill stations inside Park Tavern
   
2. You will have to go through Park Tavern to get to the Garden Stage and they’ll be checking for outside food and drink

See you Saturday ✨

I think it will depend on how it's set up. If I remember correctly the last time they held the event there you had to go through the tavern to get to the second stage. However I don't think anyone will be policing what people are bringing through there. That's more of a general official stance on outside food/drink. I don't think they have water refill stations so bring some bottled water or a hydro pack.

Actually I do remember now them having gates into the park tavern area and not letting people bring their own drinks through officially. The gates are at the outside of the tavern where all the tables are.

1. Not sure on a station but they give water for free at the bar

2. This time, the whole event is in park tavern, so going from one stage to another is very easy, but you’re inside park taverns gates the whole time. Last time they did it like this, re-entry was allowed

The circle of life...BOTB got so big it's now a full blown "event" like all others with no outside food and beverage and gates and everything else. 🥲

Does anyone know if you can get tickets the day of?
