described a massive wave of people surging toward the event’s main stage, as a timer counted down to Travis Scott’s performance.
When asked whether city officials and organizers allowed too many people to attend the two-day Astroworld Fest, Houston Fire Department Chief Samuel Peña said that there are no capacity limits for outdoor events. Astroworld Fest sold 50,000 tickets for both days of the festival, but he said there are no rules in place to prevent the fest from hosting 250,000 people if it wanted.
One such rumor is that someone in the crowd was “injecting” people which in turn sparked the crowd surge. Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo thanked the Good Samaritans at Astroworld, noting that “it could have been much worse if people hadn’t stepped in.”
