The 1969 Woodstock Festival has gone down in history as a free concert, but it wasn’t intended to be. The three-day festival was actually meant to cost a little over $20 at the door, but lack of planning made it unfeasible for staff to even keep track of the gigantic crowds that began surging in through the entrance. Matters were made even worse when a group of anarchists tore down the barriers to the festival, allowing anyone in the area to gain entry for free. This made the festival incredibly overcrowded, which resulted in food and water shortages, as well as sanitation issues.
The worst aspect of the 1969 Woodstock Festival seems to have been the drug overdoses. The drug overdoses came as a result of the vast amount of drugs available at the festival, with many finding it hard to eat or drink anything without accidentally getting drugged. There were said to have been over 700 overdoses during the festival, but only two of these resulted in death. A third death occurred when a sleeping festival attendee was run over by a tractor that was picking up massive amounts of litter.
