All they need to do is “flush” the pit every show.
Like, back in the day, that was just how it worked.
The closest area to the stage was separated, the only way to get in was a guardrailed line from one side, after every artist, the area was completely emptied to the opposite side. Then ideally staff could do a quick 15 minute clean sweep while the stage changes, they can clear out, and the next batch released.
That’s the only way to keep it sanitary
But that’s all extra cost, it’s cheaper to just leave one giant field and let the nonvips act like animals.
They try to make people move between stages by playing drastically different acts in a row, but it just means they don’t even enjoy what they’re waiting thru.
I stopped going to big festivals a while ago, the people running them just don’t know what they’re doing. It’s not like they need to come up with ideas, they just need to go back to what always worked.

Organizers think they can achieve the same effect by having one show starting at a neighboring stage as one ends.
But nothing ever runs on time so it all goes out the window the moment there’s a 15 minute delay.
