Hi there, I'm a history and culture enthusiast with a passion for the iconic moments that shaped our world. When it comes to the legendary Woodstock Music & Art Fair, held in 1969, it's a fascinating topic to explore.
The original price for a ticket to Woodstock in 1969 was $18 for a weekend pass, which would be equivalent to about $120 today when adjusted for inflation. However, as the festival gained momentum and the crowds far exceeded expectations, the organizers decided to make an announcement that effectively made the event free. They declared that the festival was a "free concert" due to the overwhelming turnout and the traffic jams that made it difficult for people to actually get to the ticket booths to pay. So, while the initial intention was to charge for tickets, the reality was that many people attended Woodstock without paying.
