Crowd control was nonexistent for Chris Stapleton on Saturday.

I don’t have a lot of confidence in crowd control for the Stones. Some of my friends don’t want to go. They say the situation was legitimately dangerous — people almost getting crushed — when Elton John played a few years ago.

Any thoughts? Strategies?

They limited the number of tickets sold in order to prevent overcrowding. That being said, it will still be a shite show because that's JazzFest.

What's the average age of a Stones fan these days? Has to be around 75 or so. I'm sure that crowd can get pretty wild.

Damn I predict you won’t be happy with that experience. Unless you’ve got Grand Marshall I’m thinking it’s going to be huge cluster Fuk. No chairs, no blankets, close all other stages at 345 and watch the herds move in. Quint wants everyone standing 20” apart on every square inch at Fest Stage. I’m thinking soccer crowd massacre. Hope I’m wrong. I enjoyed all 4 days this past weekend and going 3 days this coming but you couldn’t make me go Thursday. Good luck If I had to go I’d get on side on Krewe of Jazzfest bleachers on the rail ay 11 and hold on . I predict gates will open 1030.

I won’t do Saturdays with good weather or Stones Day in any conditions. Just not worth it for me. I imagine there will be plenty disappointed people Thursday. I couldn’t imagine going and watching from Congo or Gentilly.

I agree. You’d have to be an idiot to go anywhere near that place.

The crowd for Elton John was insane. What was the estimate for that?

I was at that Elton John concert. I had tickets for the shuttle bus but they were so overwhelmed they just gave up. We ended up walking to the Fair Grounds from Pan Am Stadium, doing a tight rope on the side curb of the Wisner overpass bridge.

That was a great concert. The Killer, Jerry Lee Lewis was the opening act.
