Bonnaroo promoters have taken note of the economic crisis and are offering fans who buy tickets during their December "pre-sale" an opportunity to take advantage of a payment plan. An old school layaway deal if you will. Instead of shelling out $250 right now, you can lock in that "low, low" price and make five $50 payments (plus "fees" of course!). The ticket deal starts tomorrow and lasts through the end of the year.

No acts have been confirmed for the 2009 festival, but of course giants like Radiohead and Pearl Jam have anchored the lineup in years past so it's fairly safe to expect someone on that scale again. But, please folks no more Kanye!

Speaking of high priced tickets, Britney Spears promoters may want to take note of Bonnaroo's economic stimulus attempt as I hear seats for her upcoming show in Long Island, New York are in the $150 to $350 range (plus fees). And, that is from the authorized ticket sellers, let alone what the scalpers will try to get. At this rate, music fans will need a bailout not the Big 3! Or, maybe this is one are where the market forces of supply and demand will actually have an impact on price?
