Early on they admitted they deliberately scared people away because the Parkway could only handle 250-300K people. The key thing is that many people spent 3 hours in security lines and didn't make it through to the mass, including people with the tickets which weren't supposed to exist until they did and oh it's all been so confusing. So they expected many more people than came, and established a security system that couldn't handle anything close to the numbers they expected.
