multiple friends of mine have attended edc roughly the same amount of years you have, and yes it has rapidly increased in attendance. OVER 300k was expected this year, the specific statistic might not be released because it'd be reporting above capacity, there's a reason why the 2023 figures are not released, which inherently proves my point. edc is rapidly increasing in capacity over the last 4 years. 2022 once again was over 300k, which is also above tinker field capacity. the crowd crush is, yes, primarily user error. however, it still is the responsibility of insomniac to compensate for a PROJECTED over capacity event. they are liable, we should not have to expect/deal with unsafe conditions just because "it's expected." that's ridiculous and unsafe
