Woodstock was meant to turn a profit, but of course the “Music Should Be Free, Man!” crowd took over. Typical Liberals.
That’s the “story” behind the tickets you see in the pic.
They were stored in a trunk on site and ended up getting wet from all the rain. they were saved and were found much later
(early 80’s) and were “passed out” a few at a time. Very few remain from that “collection”.

I think Michael Lang sabotaged it from within. I’ve read 3 books (including the filmmakers’, the financers, and Michael’s). It wasn’t his money.
His Miami fest before Woodstock was a disaster and he was part of Altamont as well.

>>Lang was not among the producers of the December 6, 1969, Altamont Free Concert which some had billed as a “Woodstock West”, but was asked by the Rolling Stones and Grateful Dead to assist with the last-moment re-location, from Sears Point Raceway to the Altamont Speedway, near Tracy, CA... The concert was subsequently moved to Sears Point Raceway. However, a dispute over film rights led to its cancellation. Lang and Grateful Dead manager Rock Scully were then offered the Altamont Speedway – a rival to Sears Point Raceway – by owner Dick Carter. After the venue was set for the concert, Lang appeared, with his experience in moving the much larger Woodstock festival.[8] The venue was moved on December 4 to the racetrack with the concert starting December 6. The venue change created major technical problems, including a stage built too low and close to the fans.
