GENERAL INFO

Welcome Juggalos to the 20th Annual Soopa Gathering of the Juggalos! Peep out all the info below so you know
what’s crackin!

SHIMMER FOREST
This year’s GOTJ is being held on a 400-acre fenced-in outdoor music venue known as Shimmer Forest, with an
address of 99 Moore Lane, Springville IN, 47462. It is owned and operated by a super cool group of ninjas who are
excited to bring our event to their home, and for that alone they deserve our respect. There is enough space at
Shimmer Forest to allow everyone to camp directly on the grounds (most of which is beneath the shade of trees) for
a truly 24-hour experience.

GOTJ TICKET/WRISTBAND
The GOTJ wristband that you purchased or received when you presented your GOTJ ticket at the Ticket Office
is not to be removed at any time and is your official pass into and out of Shimmer Forest (you may come and go as
you please). It is good for the entire duration of the GOTJ, starting Wednesday July 31st (at 8 a.m.) until Sunday
August 4th (at Noon). Anyone found inside the venue without a GOTJ wristband will be immediately escorted off the
property. If you should lose your GOTJ wristband, you should report immediately to the Box Office. This wristband
grants you access to all concerts, wrestling events, comedian shows, parties, sideshows, competitions, carnival rides,
seminars, autograph signings, and much more, at no additional expense to you.

VEHICLE Passes
No vehicles are allowed inside Shimmer Forest (except for in the parking lot) unless they have the appropriate
sticker pass stuck to the driver side windshield (Car, RV/Trailer, or Big Balla Campsite). These may be obtained by
presenting the appropriate ticket (Car, RV/Trailer, or Big Balla Campsite) you purchased online once you arrive or by
purchasing one directly at the Ticket Office. These sticker passes allow you to park your vehicle at your campsite,
and once there, it must remain until the Gathering ends. This will be strongly enforced to ensure the safety of all
our ninjas.
Car Passes apply to vehicles ranging in size from motorcycles to full-sized vans that are not towing trailers. RV/
Trailer Passes apply to any vehicle bigger than a full-sized van (no 18 wheelers) or any vehicle towing a trailer. Big
Balla Campsite Passes apply to any vehicle RV size or smaller, along with whatever they are towing. All vehicle passes
are good for the entire duration of the GOTJ starting Wednesday July 31st (at 8am) until Sunday August 4th (at
noon).

BIG BALLA CAMPSITE (30 / 50 AMP)
Each of these sites are roughly 25’ × 50’. Any additional vehicles (besides the one with your Big Balla Campsite Pass)
parked on your site will require their own Car or RV/Trailer Pass and must fit in your designated area. Keep in mind
that you may also put multiple tents on your site as long as they also fit in your designated area. Big Balla Campsites
are not numbered and will be on a first come/first serve basis.
This pass also allows you and up to 3 other people to enter the Gathering grounds one day early starting on
Tuesday July 30th at 6pm. Keep in mind that everyone getting in early must also have a GOTJ ticket to enter, and
you will be required to remain in the Big Balla campsite area until the official start of the Gathering on Wednesday
July 31St at 8am
These sites are good for the entire duration of the GOTJ starting Tuesday July 30th (at 6pm) until Sunday
August 4th (at noon).

PAVILION RENTAL
Located throughout Shimmer Forest are 20’ x 40’ roofed Pavilions. Most of them are being used for official event
purposes, but a few of them have been reserved online prior to the GOTJ. If you rented a Pavilion online, the
certificate that you received in the mail is your proof that you have rented that Pavilion. When you arrive, your
Pavilion will be wrapped in caution tape with a notice that it was rented. Simple remove the tape and you can set up.
Pavilion rentals are good for the entire duration of the GOTJ starting Wednesday July 31st (at 8 a.m.) until Sunday
August 4th (at Noon). Pavilions are bare, do not include power, and may not be used for vending.

PSYCHOPATHIC ALL-STAR EXPERIENCE
This highly valued pass allows access to the Psychopathic All-Star Experience, which includes the following benefits
that will take place on 1 August 2019 (Thursday) from 6:00 to 7:30 pm:

• Meet and greet with all the Psychopathic artists (ABK, Big Hoodoo, DJ Clay, Insane Clown Posse, Lyte, Ouija, Rude
