Let me know if I’m glossing over something but I feel like an obvious solution to this would be to sell early entry passes online BEFOREHAND, like many other festivals do. This way there will be a limit to how many early entry tix get sold and the festival can determine a set amount of people that will arrive each day and plan accordingly, in advance. They should sell the early entry tickets by VEHICLE, and then when you show up you have to pay X amount of dollars per person in the vehicle.

A more complicated option on top of this would be to also sell camping passes online in advance. This way, both attendees and the festival will know exactly where they’ll be camping before they arrive, rather than, for example, planning on Starlight, finding out it’s sold out, then being forced to choose Metta or Sunshine. If people know they already have a secured camping pass for a camp, then people are less likely to rush in at the earliest day possible resulting in the massive lines we experienced. I think it’s actually pretty irresponsible of the festival to have no clue how many people are camping in X area. Most large camping festivals like Bass Canyon for example sell the different camping passes ahead of time with a maximum amount of people allowed per vehicle and a maximum number of total vehicles in X camping area.

In a perfect world they wouldn’t oversell tickets but I don’t think that’s gonna happen so I think this is a clear solution and I’m wondering why they don’t do this as I feel it would be mutually beneficial to both the attendees and the festival?

I’m wondering if I made a petition letter or something and sent it to them who the best contact would be to do this?
