WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (WBNG/WENY) — The organizers for Woodstock 50 spoke Wednesday night about plans for the big event.

They brought up a number of topics including public safety and how to keep traffic moving with a large number of people.

A major point they said was there would only be tickets for the full three-day festival at Watkins Glen International. That means no single day passes.

Festival Organizer Michael Lang spoke about why they made the decision to not sell single day passes.

“It’s really to simplify the traffic patterns. We don’t want people coming in and out on a daily basis it seems that would create more problems than we need and frankly anyone who is interested in coming should come for the three days,” said Lang.

The Woodstock 50 concert is taking place the weekend of August 16th, 17th, and 18th. There is another competing concert in Bethel where the original Woodstock took place.

That is also the same weekend as the DICK’s Sporting Goods Open in Endicott.
