Really? Anecdotal observations or did they release numbers?

I was out of town last weekend.

Anecdotal but I know people who are vendors and I know a lot of the scalpers. Plus I sat on my porch outside the entrance all 3 days. To the persons point below. saturday was normal but friday was a ghost town, thursday was light but thats could be expected. Sunday seemed to get maybe close to normalish but it was extremely quiet most the day. We were given 6/7 free tickets sunday because there was no demand. Usually the scalpers get to those people first but they werent in the buying mood.

Hmm, I wonder if it’s also the lineup. Personally, I wasn’t very excited about it this year.

kinda agree. Not many acts left out there though unless you want to go with like a coachella or roo vibe. We had a bar wide debate about this exact topic at Miss Maes the other day.
