I was talking to a guard last week and they capped the Whitney at 50,000. He said when they send a message on the radio, they shut the gates.
They really didn't publicize this. I see the idea. 40,000 for Whitney was fine. 50,000 for Travers is OK if you beef up staff a bit. Safety is an issue. Also the experience. Over 50,000 at SAR is not necessarily a good experience.
In today's online world, you should be able to get seats or GA online. Just show your cell phone when entering. No drones or selfie sticks.
