WRAL reported:
Several ticketholders told WRAL News they were stopped in traffic along U.S. Highway 1, waiting hours for access to the festival grounds. Some gave up. Others waited hours after midnight, into the wee hours of Saturday morning, to leave the grounds after Friday’s performances.
“I’ve been to a ton of shows, and I have never had this problem,” said Kelly Tesh, of Smithfield. “I’ve been to PNC Arena, to Walnut Creek, to shows in other states, and I have never had this problem.”
