Tickets go on sale Wednesday, Jan. 8, at 10 a.m.organizers announced a series of changes aimed at addressing complaints that last year's music festival was unsafe. They said the improvements will include lowering ticket costs, bringing back an indoor, air-conditioned arena where people can take a break from the heat, adding more water stations and merging the green and red stages into one to provide better views and more space to roam. In the wake of last year's festival, people took to social media saying it felt hard to get air and it wasn't possible to move due to how thick the crowd was on the final day of the festival at the Harvard Athletic Complex. 'It felt unsafe and it was so like just congested everywhere, it was really hard to get like air, and just get like a break from the crowds,' Sarah Mundy, who attended the festival, said at the time.'When people make that kind of investment, to spend their money that way, they deserve to have like a safe experience where they're not having a panic attack.' Another woman on TikTok said there was a'giant crowd crush' that was'pretty scary,' adding that she didn't see a single security person..'After a few minutes of that we began to realize this really is not normal for a crowd at a concert. There were people around us in the crowd who were actively having panic attacks, people were yelling for medics.
