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!
that year was similar to this Saturday--that year they had Dave Matthews (top touring act in the world) and Mystikal (#1 album in the country) playing at the same time. I saw the writing on the wall and stayed home--and I'm a Jazz Fest pro (IMHO...). This year it wasn't just the weather and Elton John, it was also TI and Ed Sheeran. Love 'em or hate'em, they all brought tons of people out.
Quint Davis said he learned his lesson back then, but obviously has forgotten since (or AEG live has more say now in the bookings).
That and allowing chairs to block the track and any walkway be obliterated by the big stages makes these days intolerable. I just go to the smaller stages at those times.

People trying to compare other years are crazy. This Saturday was an entirely different animal. There will be a ticket cap introduced because of this
