The licence is for 210,000 total, of which 63,000 are "Staff" tickets.
In this context, "Staff" covers literally every ticket type that isn't directly sold by Seetickets - so all Artists / Crew / Volunteers, all Hospitality passes, and even a nominal amount set aside to account for kids under 13.
Would be surprised if the Hospitality part of that totalled as high as 25k and probably is a fair bit below.
This is a massive technicality that detracts from the original question i feel (while not wrong)
There is a huge amount, 10s of thousands its got to be.
There's what 250k on site, 140k ish normal people. That leaves 90k left (80k maybe discounting sunday?)
There can't be more than 40k staff surely, so then would that leave 40k hospitality / vip / press etc maybe? I'm not sure but its got to be a lot (maybe i've missed something)
Don't think having a mixture negates from anything. You can have 'heritage' acts who still provide a good and worthwhile live show while also peppering the line up with newer artists, whether thats in smaller slots or even a headline one as a jump. It's all about balance.
