From what I've read it's 80,000 but I don't think that is the farms ACTUAL capacity. I mean c'mon if everyone packed tight it could hold way more! haha
There were over 100,000 in 2004 when the Dead were there. Alot of gatecrashers though, so it was not an official number.
Also, I think that the festival has sold out more often than not, but you should be good if you buy your tickets a month out. They might be more expensive though. I tried to do a search to find the exact dates and figures for you, but I am not having any luck.

There seemed to have been WAY more than 80,000 when Radiohead played. I heard some people say as high as 120,000. Which I doubt, but it still wouldn't shock me... there were A LOT of people.
I heard the cap was 80K, but I'm sure on a Sat. night there are more with gatecrashers, volunteers, band crews and such. Yeah, it seemed like a lot more
I know '03 and '04 were the biggest at officially 100,000 (I think) but there were LOTS of crashers and so I heard estrimates by the press of over 120,000 but that's probably high.
With 700+acres, capacity is whatever they want but the 80,000 is about right IMHO, especially with the more mainstream crowds. 100,000 Deadheads is a lot mellower than 80,000 regulars.
I'm pretty sure the earlier Roos sold out quicker too. The last few have sold out close to show time.

And the sewage and dust would cause an epidemic, maybe even cholera, LOL
Last year was my first and I had heard they sold out at 80,000, but i was camped near the edge of nowhere and noticed that there was room for a few thousand more if necessary
I don't think farm capacity is that important. Centeroo Capacity is a bit more important though. The main stage is always extremely crowded. I remember hearing someone say the actual numbers last year were like 84,000
I know they didn't sell out before Wednesday night before Roo, because I lost our tickets and had to purchase more Wednesday night. I know this doesn't help with capacity question, but just as a side note.

I saw that guy counting... He counted me twice... Hee-hee
Close your eyes. Picture a convict. What's he wearing? Nothing special, baseball cap on backwards, baggy pants... he says something ordinary like... 'yo, thats shizzle.' Okay. Now slowly open your eyes again. Who are you picturing? A black man? Wrong. That was a white woman. Surprised? Well, shame on you.
