For sure they said they set up 11,800 campsites but then they also said this EARLY CAMPING CHECK- IN: Nearly 80% of this year's record crowd of 36,000 Campers have voiced that they plan to arrive on Wednesday. If you would like to skip the line and beat the crowd, we still have Tuesday Camping Check-In Passes available…… definitely oversold by a big margin
Yeah, when all this started going wrong, they really tried to tell people that they only had something like 30,000 people there, but even the sheriffs department said that it was at least double that. In some ways, I think this is even worse than fire fast because at least with fire fest everyone knew that it was a scam as soon as they got there. These people out got there and it’s almost like they kept getting teas that things were going to get better but it just never got better. Like I think the Fyre festival you get there you realize that it’s a scam and then you leave. It might be a pain in the ass and you lost a lot of money but these people I feel like we’re abused for three days.
@@jaylewis6565 Who the fuck would want to stay after Saturday and Sunday's shows got canceled? A handful of mediocre acoustic sets and bonfires made of discarded canopies doesn't exactly sound like it's worth camping two more days to me.
That venue simply isn’t big enough to host a lineup of that magnitude. Much better suited to be held at the Indianapolis Speedway. Significantly bigger and actually near civilization. This site is legitimately in the middle of NOWHERE.
You are joking right? As festivals go that site looks ideal for the biggest of them. Close to civilisation doesn't matter a jot as long as there is suitable vehicle access from wherever the majority of people are coming, only really matters for small islands.
@@FlatDerrick Look up how big of a shitshow it was and you'll realize why being out in the middle of nowhere caused a lot of problems and even danger to some people.
@@hhaste It was a shitshow because they didn't provide for their staff correctly, not because of weather or location. It's got paved roads for crying out loud.
And just a handful of porta potties... lol. What a disaster this was. I am so happy we had he RV out for this. Someone offered me 50 to take a crap, sorry bro...all locked up for the day. There was people clearly having panic attacks and fleeing the scene
Not gonna lie, I was playing "count the portapotties" while he was flying over. Looked like a handful for each massive nest of campsites. The ones near the stage would have been an okay amount for EACH nest of tents down there. Then I think I saw some blown over as well from the storm.
@@tsohgallik i think he means if you put the size of the campground and the infield where the bands are playing in relation. because this area is definetely much too small for that amount of visitors
Wacken is much better organized. They made the best of their mud chaos this year. They all helped together... Neighbors offered free parking on their property... Wacken is Special...👍🤘🍻You can't so such 💩 in the EU. They will crucify you....
The planning of this festival was probably very good in theory, but in practice it didn't work at all. Having parking and camping so far from the festival area is not good, any organizer should understand that. If you want to make it work, you have to have functioning logistics, and they had apparently forgotten that. It didn't work either backstage or on the festival grounds.
They should be sued, nothing to do with the weather. They oversold and didn’t know how to manage a festival properly so it got shut down after crew and bands walked out. TankTheTech exposed all of it it a recent yt video.
What exactly happened? I've been seeing concert goers posting online, and they are NOT happy. I know a storm came through and there seemed to be a ton of problems with organization, but why did they cancel? Did more storms come through or did the festival just cave in upon itself? Though I'm not into many of the bands that were scheduled, it was still a monster line up of performers for that festival. Shame it didn't work out.
The organizers weren't, well, organized. There wasn't enough sanitary facilities, no plan to get the ones there cleaned out when they did get full. No proper trash removal, not enough water, and not enough staff to handle what they had to do. There wasn't nearly enough logistical support to move bands and equipment and there was no coordination and communication. I think the staff just up and walked because it was so messed up.
@@frankpritz6997 That's a shame. It seems like it had the potential to be a great event for the fans. I'm curious to see if it happens next year. I don't see it surviving to be honest. ;)
You don't organise festivals like this. It's obvious some US festival organisers think that the people buying their tickets are the same idiots that went to Woodstock '99. That's why EU fest organisers are so pro at this. They know people are smart, that they are not to be fooled, that they notice, and that they remember all the bad shit... Fall from grace for the EU audience, and you will never recover. But in the US you can repeat until people are completely broken or until they go 'chop suey' 🫥
It looks like a shit show. Thank god I live in Chicago and have the best festival of all Lollapalooza which always runs smooth and always professional.

Just seeing the amount of cars for camping you can tell they’ve oversold it

If it takes more then an hr to park. That's a bad sign.
Not oversold u clown

Wow that is unreal man I'm glad to see this we left Saturday afternoon

@@ridethewind3099 Its a health issue. Sorry I dont want anyones hep C. Dont blame me for something the promoters could have easily provided.

Found my campsite
Holy shit. Number one, I had NO idea that many people were camping there, and number two, that place was just an EZ-Up graveyard.
I had an adventure. 🎉 it was amazing while it was happening
yo i saw my tents lol!
I remember seeing this drone fly around lmao. What a weekend
They trippled the camping spaces compared to 22 😳
haha you caught me drying off my wet boots from the night before
Yeah I brought "water proof" boots with me to BRRF. They were completely soaked and drying off on my car the next day as well.
We left Thursday night after our canopy got destroyed. Glad we did.
I did not see enough public toilets & showers.
I didn't realize what a walk that would be.
At 5:17 you can see my green bus with tan canopy over it. Great video just hate things turned out the way they did.

The staff at the festival wasn't fed for two days, their camp was destroyed, nowhere to sleep, there was zero organization so they walked out.
That's insane.
@@joeMW284
You can see just how many people had to leave after all their shit was destroyed
Still better than fyre fest 😂😂
Only because we took our own food and pooled all our resources with fellow campers in " Metal Meadows". F*** BLUE RIDGE!!!!
Not by much
The only reason BRRF beats Fyre Fest is that BRRF actually did manage to go on for about a day and a half.
Man I feel bad for these people.
I sold my ticket because surgery. Made a $230 profit. But now I regret doing it to those people
You couldn’t have know man
Out of all the comments? A person with a ❤, read my post brother..

US festivals are an embarrassment man. You would get shut down and never open again if you did something like this in Europe.
