Honestly, I would rather it not be since it makes it easier to navigate if it is not. 85-90% would be perfect for it to have been a big party but not crowded...has anyone been when it has sold out before? Last year was my first go 'round for HOF and I don't think it was sold out...and the crowd to space ratio was great.

They said they sold out on 5/14 last year and around the same time in 2013. Last year was definitely not packed but more than 2013. I'm guessing it will be closer to 2013 levels. Less than last year.

good to know...if last year was what to expect size wise from "sold out" then I will be happy.
14 was a zoo. I think they had close to 40k there that year, and it was noticeable more than any other year.
Yes Hangout Sold Out their loyal fans /bitches
Inforoo sold me out with some fn redirect adds and contest wins. I even wiped my other phone and it was still getting me. I'm not paying proboards but I would donate here to get rid of that crap. /bitches
sparkysarah and all the other lovely ladies....makeup? I know the website says no unsealed chapstick/lipgloss. That's annoying but fine, I'll keep it in my locker overnight.
What about powder etc...?
Also, I have Sunscreen that's not aerosol but in a spray bottle. I'm guessing that's ok?

Still debating on whether to buy a kickoff party ticket or not. Don't have a hotel that night so I'll have to drive home and then come back the next day (45 min away) and it's 50 bucks I don't wanna spend... But lil dicky is gonna be great live and I really wanna see grouplove/matt&kim/Baauer

Stay away from that new school China White imho. If you must, take RTJ's advice:
Some men weren't made for the light to be shined on thier shitty talking. Y'all better off trying to hide like that yay in a little pocket...

This will be our fifth year, every year has "sold out". That being said the only years I really saw it was 12 and 14. DMB and Outlast. We skipped out on Dave, but Outkast was straight packed. Hoping Calvin is like that this year so I can bounce around in the tent!

Its almost time
I don't recall them even announcing last year as a sellout, but I guess they did at some point. Regardless, you are absolutely right, there were nowhere near as many people as 2014 or 2012.

Agreed. 2014 was a true sold out year. 2013 and 2015, not so much. I doubt 2016 is a true sold out year.

I do very minimal makeup for the fest. It's just going to get sweated off anyway! Tinted moisturizer, eyeliner, and mascara. Waterproof eyeliner and mascara are your friends. Otherwise, you will look like a racoon after a couple of hours in the heat. Yep, keep chapstick in your locker, since they're being weird about that this year. I've never had a problem with getting any type of sunscreen in, no matter what their policy states. Your experience may vary.

As far as I'm concerned, there is nothing in the rules prohibiting sunscreen of any type. I'm bringing aerosol unless they make a statement otherwise.
I am getting the feeling that Chainsmokers in the tent is going to be a massive crowd...too big for that space probably....I just don't see The Weeknd being a usual headliner crowd draw....

2014 they oversold by about 2,500 tickets. So they basically went for the cash grab before selling out to GV.

There's no reason for them to claim "soldout" an entire week prior to the fest if it weren't true. That is plenty of time for even a couple hundred tickets or $20-50k in revenue. They also didn't opt for single day tickets again at all which should be a sign they saw steady sales.
My concern is that their move to a more pop-friendly format selling out means we will see a similar format next year. So rather than Rock-Alt-Oldie format we have seen years prior, it will be more RnB/Pop-EDM-Alt/Pop that is today. (for headliners)
Guesses: Drake/Kendrick - Gorillaz/Tiesto- Mumford/Strokes - Sia/James Bay

Mumford yes...not much into the rest. I've been asking most folks I meet between Perdido and Gulf Shores and the vast majority wants it to go away, second would be a return to 2014, and then the hipsters/young college girls love Calvin and The Weeknd. Most buzz here is about mega classic concert at Indio this fall. That would have been too awesome on the beach.
A day day at the beach yesterday was good for the soul. Copious amounts of Miller Lite and an evening at Palafox Wine Bar resulted in a head to match the weather...dense fog.
Looks like weather next week for festival will be a mixed bag. Sun, heat, rain, cool, cloudy....Predicting t-storm for pre-party.

IMHO, that's typically ignorant group think by them. It's the usual heard it from someone and adopted it. Certain political factions in our country are great about spreading disinformation through certain channels. The festival really doesn't affect the locals much unless you live right by that portion of the beach. But all the hate spewed by the haters down there I guess is an influence. Like I always say, it's the same b.s. as everyone and their grandmother talking about smart cars on the highway several years ago. F them. All the kids making hundreds of dollars a day accepting parked cars in their yards, the massive amount of business for restaurants, stores and condos, etc. and it's confined to a general area unlike some unruly spring break shiz.
#2 - Palafox Wine Bar does indeed rule. But you spend an afternoon there, not evening. Money isn't necessarily an object but when you're getting a carafe for the price of a glass (or 2.5 glasses for the price of 1) between noon and 6 every day, it's better to hit up early. If you're in Pensacola, try Restaurant Iron on Palafox. It blows away anything else in Pensacola, and it's kind of a miracle it has survived based on the general clientele of that area. But the food is magic. And you can sit at the bar by the chefs and watch 'em cook. F'n outstanding 4.5* place.

Every single event that gathers X amount people will get the usual crowd that never wants to see it form again. Livign in Austin, there are thousands of people that DESPISE ACL, SXSW, FFF and so on and wish it would all just "go away," yet those some people go downtown all the time, or spend time at other massive events like F1 or the Rodeo that garner the same types of crowds. They also neglect to consider the economic impact, as you mentioned Estaban, these events have. My only concern is the beach which always seem to be completely cleaned up every night.
