Missed it. July 4th with friends. Did Bethel, PNC, Camden, Merriweather, Dick's.

Great times, but wish I had been there...

Dick's '11 was fun. Tweez, Ghost Forget, KDF (best ever?), etc. etc.

WGphan92 Heyy, I was there too! Go figure....
From what I heard it was somewhere in the ballpark of 35,000... But I've also heard 30,000 and upwards of 40,000+.... Gee, you'd think they'd actually be able to know how many people actually went right? How can they not know?? Weird

Chilly Permalink
Chilly I can't at least see why they don't just say how many tickets were sold. You figure, almost ALL the tickets sold were used. Figure some random people had some emergency come up and weren't able to go, but you gotta assume many of those tickets were given to friends, sold for a little less than face, etc. Most if no all the tickets should of been used...they should have a number within 1,000 people (and that is generous) for sure.

I wonder who I could email that might have a better number.

Where did you hear that? I was there too. I think it was about 17-18,000. (which was like 8000 too many for that site). pretty sure I saw that number in a new York times article. I'd be shocked if it was 25.

I'm in the 35K-ish camp for superball.

Gallium Permalink
Gallium All depends on how you count really. Including EVERYBODY, meaning that transients who came for a day or two, as well as people staying off site, as well as all workers... maybe that number tops 40k.

As for those who paid for a camping pass, probably more in the 25k range in my opinion.

WGphan92 Permalink
WGphan92 However many were actually there, it was perfect...bigger than a regular tour show, but still small enough to feel really lucky to be there. Such a fantastic weekend.

Sativar Permalink
Sativar Using my amazing ability to make shit up, I'd say 40k+ easily for SBIX.
