I made the early executive decision to avoid Acura all day Saturday, anticipating the throngs. Soul Rebels got crowded towards the end of their set, but I got some food, then was easily able to get a seat in the NOCCA, Jazz, and Blues tents. It was a perfect storm of weather, Elton John, and asshats setting up chairs/blankets to block major arteries of traffic.

This has to be my biggest complaint. I dont know if it was people who have never been before or what, but this was a major cluster frick.

The attendance problem really isn't anything new. Here's some previous attendance figures and also an article bitching about attendance in 2001. Apparently 2nd Saturday that year had 160k!

These people can blow me. I wouldn't care that much if they didn't complain about people walking in front of them after setting up in walkways.

They need to enforce those paths better. They had markings but no one obeyed them.

This has happened at every Jazz Fest I've been to....usually there is room for the crowd to police itself (aka tell the dumbasses to move). From what I understand with the crowd on Saturday that may not have been possible.
