Does it really matter.  This thing is such a clusterfuck at this point.
 
 Two days camping in a field with all-access and two main stages at a music and arts festival and do whatever you want has turned into a stadium show with assigned seating and you have to buy a brand new ticket for it.  
 
 After everyone bought new tickets ($92.00), the organizers announced that there would be no beer sales (and of course, you can't bring anything in with you, not even water).
 
 I understand that people want to see Radiohead and Blur and whoever else, but TicketMaster cleared close to $3 million on this gig and the promoter (who works for TicketMaster after he sold his ticket company to them for $35 million), has royally screwed everyone.  You shouldn't reward him by helping him recoup the losses he may incur by not having had the foresight to arrange for security and traffic control.
 
 But if you really want to know, just go to www.fielddayfestival.com (http://www.fielddayfestival.com)

What's the matter? Don't you like capitalism?
