Multitude of factors...

Mostly the whole lockdown and (ever so popular these days) price gouging. $25 to park is insane. The small side lot will be full by 10am I would bet and the school lot will be closed so that will not be an option. If I want a PB&J and a bottle of water I will have to walk to my car to save $20 on linner (lunch dinner). Then either have to get a dog sitter or run home mid-day to let my dogs out and feed them. The whole "Law enforcement will be on site..." statement makes me queasy too. The County Mounties are at every show there but they never boast it or bother anyone unless it is merited.

I've seen Michigander several times and would love to see him again, and we have been dying to see Coin for the first time also... but I'm not sure those two are worth the ticket price and the hassle. Our tickets to Peachfest were a little more than this and that is an insane lineup spanning 4 days.

I think the "law enforcement will be on site" was mentioned because people get shot in mass casualty events at music festivals and clubs in the US. And it happens a lot. It was meant to be reassuring, not creepy. I think some people avoid larger gatherings these days because of worry about a mass shooter .
