    A bunch. We were literally the last people to get tickets. I actually felt bad for the guy directly behind us. We got there about 1:45ish he got there about 45 minutes later so probably around 2:30 everyone else started really pouring in around 4am.

    See, once they see how many are out there, why not have somebody do a count or something so they can tell people "don't bother, we wont get to you."

    Because sometimes people buy more/less tickets than planned, sometimes a person or three may have to leave their spot for some reason.

    Oh I get that...so you tell a certain amount "look, youll be close depending on how many people buy and/or how many people give up and leave...". But at some level you should be able to say "wait if you want, but its very unlikely."

    Also curious how many people bought em...then turned right around to try and scalp em.

    I don't know what the limit is, but I can promise you that if I had the chance to buy them for face value, I would have bought as many as possible and re-sold the ones I wasn't going to use. I imagine most people do exactly that, and if they don't, I have to ask why not?

    It was hard to do a count anyway until around 8...Too many tents. I did a count of tents when we got there and then hoped they averaged around 4 people per tent, and came out pretty close....There wasn't many people that bought less than four. What the people towards the end were thinking though I have no idea. If you got there after 5:30 or so it was really obvious you weren't making it.
