Fuji Rock:

One day tickets generally sell out a couple of weeks before the event - the 3 day camping tickets are usually a safer bet later on. The campsite spreads up the side of the valley on a golf course. It gets absolutely packed, especially close to the entrance-exit (there is only one and there's no easy short-cut to the main site: its a 30 min walk from the Orange Stage to the campsite - not including crowd delays - plus up to 15 mins to walk up to wherever your tent is.)

If you can arrive the evening before, do it. The campers-only Thursday night line-up can be pretty excellent. Also try to find a tent site backing onto one of the roped off greens so you won't be surrounded on all sides. Oh, and if you want a T-shirt, buy it on the Thursday evening. From then on the queues are literally 2 hours min...until they run out.

Food & drink is expensive but the variety is huge, though you'll have to bring your own fruit.

Transport: You can take the shink to & from Echigo-Yuzawa. Transfers to/from the festival site are predictably efficient despite the crowds.

 

If you don't want be ¥40,000 poorer, there's another way... Apply to be one of 400 to pick up and separate garbage. There seems to be two options, volunteer by day, or take a payment of ¥8000 a night, which would help towards the hefty day pass price. The selection process is random though it seems the earlier you apply, the more chance you have of getting a spot. Check out this site from mid may for those interested http://www.aseed.org/
