Alright, so does anybody know how many people will be let into ROO this year? I know last year it was around 80,000. Compared to the year before, it was excellent. I just hope they keep the numbers down...If anybody knows for sure please let us know...

if im not mistaken, I believe 2 years ago there were 90,000 tix sold....last year they cut it to 80K.....wasnt there in '05 so I dont know if it was overcrowded or what....but ya 80K tix last year and this year.
80k..jeeze. I still have problems wrapping my head around that. I just remember looking across the crowd at the Radiohead show and thinking "This is NUTS!!" But I guess only at Roo can you pack 80k+ people in one space and call it nrivana.

oh ya that was the deal with '05 they didnt sell out and now they have been capping tix at 80K...i cant even imagine another 10K people there.....i went in '02 and '06...hopefully they keep it at 80K again
Remember folks, those numbers are coming from "tickets sold" not the actual number of human bodies inside the gates.
You wouldn't believe the number of people on the "guest list" that do not have to buy tickets, or the children that don't pay, or the wooks that sneak in.
Roo is right a 100,000 give or take, every year, regardless of how many tickets they sell.
And yes, 04's estimate was somewhere in the neighborhood of 110,000. I think it was the biggest, most overcrowded year ever.

'04 seemed too crowded to me but, it was also kind of overwhelmingly cool at the same time. Last year seemed like it was about "right", in my opinion. Hope it stays about the same this year.

call me crazy but last year felt more crowded to me than in years past, and I've been to every roo since '03 so I've been in the big crowds...I didn't even realize how big they were until people started putting the attendance #'s up...

Don't forget, there are the people who work roo and the volunteers to factor in there as well.
