Rockfest Sells Out

In less than two weeks Rockfest sold all of its 50,000 tickets, and according to the site it’s the biggest one day music festival in the United States.

There’s a lesson here to radio stations and promoters but somehow I doubt it will take.  I’m not the biggest fan of KQRC, but they’ve done an outstanding job building up an audience and promoting their shows.  If I recall correctly when I moved to the area ten years ago it was being held in Sandstone which holds around 18,000.  

It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out with a crowd this size.  I”m curious when the busiest time will be and how many people are going to stay all day.  It starts at noon but there’s no way I’m going to make it all day.  I’ll probably end up showing up around five and leaving toward the end of Korn’s set, depending on the size of the crowd.
