And to get back on topic, it boggles my mind that ppl would stay on the barrier all day. Seems like an arduous task, planning piss breaks, fighting thru the crowds to get food, asking ppl to hold your space etc.
I remember during Run the Jewels being on the barrier and then couple next to me looked exhausted. Mid-fifties, waiting for Foos. When the bass and soundcheck started, they looked uncomfortable, let alone when the gig actually started.
I know Foos are loud too, but don't think they liked RTJ or the pit at all for the following hour 😆
Yeah - I was cheesed off when I saw them at first and they stopped us getting into the pit for Olivia Dean - but ultimately they seem to have done the specific job they were put there for.
I don't think reducing tickets by 20,000 would change much. You'd still get overcrowding at certain stages that should probably have been planned better. Crowd management is the best way to avoid these problems and closing stages, or fields is proof that they are working hard to manage the issue.
There is also a huge amount of people online saying they didn't have a problem with crowds this year. Isn't it all relative to individual plans?
