I know I got in late and I aint gonna read all the posts, but for what its worth, officially, 2004 was the largest roo ever with 90,000 tickets sold. The local sheriff's office released a statement a couple of weeks after roo that year that said they estimated the actual number of people to be closer to 110,000.
Where did those other 20,000 come from?????
And believe me, anyone who lives here will tell you, 2004 was certainly, by far, the most crowded roo and the worst for traffic being backed up (well, maybe not traffic, that has to go to 2002!)

I've seen conflicting numbers like that, too.
Could it have something to do with adding the count of people who are vending, working medical, working the stages and playing the shows maybe?

Yeah, that is definitely where it is coming from, vendors, artists, people with passes, things like that. There is definitely a contingent at roo every year that does not pay for a ticket. There are plenty of people who never go into the venue and spend the entire weekend in the campgrounds partying!

We had a wook/barnacle who liked to hang out at our campsite when we weren't there...and when we were. last year...
I don't know if he saw a single show...but there is nothing quite as nice to come back to the site for a mid-day nap and seeing some strange wook in your chair with his feet on your cooler.
