In response to "They really dropped the ball this year. Their reason for cancelling yesterday was crap and this is crap. Did they oversell the venue?" by Krusty

I read the supply chain issue for Friday and was like " we are really still trying to use that excuse, huh?"

My understanding (from very limited reading) is that you buy a single day pass or three-day pass, like with most festivals. So they should have known how many people were coming today and should not have been oversold.

Searching around a little, it looks like there was a massive crowd to get in, taking over an hour to get through security. At some point, possibly when they said no one else was getting in, people starting rushing through (though the announcement on Twitter clarified that the message about 'at capacity' was for people NOT already on the island).

Regardless, if you have a three-day pass and weren't going until now, that's not right that they are telling people they are at capacity. How does that happen?

  - Yup. I'm not hearing about any of the thousands of concerts going on now having supply chain issues with staging equipment. - Krusty Sep 3, 17:58
  - 😏 Blame not hiring the in state union crew that had built the stages for previous events and going with a low bid, out of state crew -- nm - JD Sep 3, 17:57 1
    - Could well be! I'm just not buying "supply chain issues" for a stage in Summer of 2023. -- nm - ty97 Sep 3, 17:58
Yup. That's not an excuse anymore and the capacity issue is very confusing and seems shady. I hope a reporter looks into all this because it -- (edited) - Krusty Sep 3, 17:51 2

  - People will forgive them if they make concessions and are truly apologetic but it feels like they're lying about things. -- nm - Krusty Sep 3, 18:00
