Woodstock 50 will now be a free event in Maryland, according to a new report.
TMZ reports the 2019 Woodstock festival, now scheduled for Aug. 16-18 at the Merriweather Post Pavillion in Columbia, Maryland, will release tickets “in the coming days free of charge.” A limited number of seats will be available for the outdoor amphitheater, which can hold up to 32,000 people total; details are expected to be announced by the end of the week.
“Sources familiar with the event” tell TMZ the three-day festival will now be billed as a benefit concert, encouraging attendees to donate to charitable causes. Performances may also be livestreamed online.
However, it’s unclear how much of the Woodstock 50 lineup will still perform. All of the 80-plus artists booked have been paid in advance, but do not have to perform at the new site.

Unless they limit ticket grabbing, they'll all be gone in 20 minutes.
A fifteen minute drive from Baltimore. This could be ugly.
If I get free ticket ...I'm there ! And won't have headache either day ! But sure will hear and see something !!!!
Be sure & wear your bullet proof vest and helmet !!!
It will be a gun free zone
Columbia is in for a whole new lesson in pain.
Can't go back. Will never be the same. I didn't go to Woodstock - busy earning a living in California but was of the same age group. I felt as a teenager then that is was really stupid.
Free tickets and a smattering of Rap/Hip-hop artists on the bill?
What could possibly go wrong?
(PREDICTION: Merriweather Post will find a kick-out clause in the next few days and shut this thing down
Boy, that "landmark event" sure seemed to turn into a pathetic sh*tshow didn't it?
