In advance of the concert, there were 186,000 tickets sold. Two days before concert kicked off, another 50,000 people were already camping out in the countryside. Once the organizers saw the number of people camping out, they decided to make the event a free show.
Not so surprisingly, by the end of the weekend, they found themselves in some debt. The organizers had $1 million in debt hanging over their heads and the trouble didn’t stop there. There were over 70 lawsuits that didn’t come to light until a year after the festival.
