Woodstock 50 is Still a Go But it’s Ironing Out Wrinkles Before Ticket Sales

Woodstock 50 will go down and fans WILL get a chance to buy tickets soon but event organizers insist they just need a little more time to take care of some logistical issues.

TMZ’s learned event organizers are waiting to hear back from the New York State Department of Health after submitting a mass gathering permit application, which was submitted April 15. The DOH confirmed to us it did indeed receive the application and it’s in the process of completing its review.

ICYMI … Woodstock 50 was supposed to start selling tickets on Monday but all fans got when they went on Woodstock’s website was a message … “Tickets on sale soon. Subscribe below for updates.”

Fans panicked thinking the event might become another Fyre Festival nightmare but that is NOT the case. A rep for Woodstock 50 tells TMZ has indeed delayed its sales as it refines logistical plans. What’s more … the rep tells us ticket sale information will be available through its website in the coming days. 

As we first reported … the massive event slated for August in Watkins Glen, NY will feature a blend of new and old school … from Jay-Z, Chance the Rapper, Imagine Dragons and Halsey to Carlos Santana and Dead & Company.

Woodstock purists bitched about the lineup but the event’s co-creator says they need to get over it.
