I think that due to the tickets being sold on groupon and living social the ticket sales were out of control. There were WAY too many people at the festival this year. I go every year and after going this year I will most likely never go back. The lines for the wine tasting were ridiculous and what was even MORE ridiculous were the lines for the food trucks! I just had a small snack before going to the festival because I love getting food at the festival.. Especially since this year they were having DC food trucks. HUGE MISTAKE. I went to wait in line at the shortest line I could find and after 1 hour I realized that the only reason we were moving was because people were giving up. Horrible!
