None of this would have even been discussed if a plan was not in place. This is
not some Joe Schmoe putting on Bamboozle, this is a NATIONAL Festival. One can
not even talk about permits (and get them granted) if a plan is not in place.
This I know firsthand from trying to obtain permits for an event
The streets will be crowded, the boards will be packed, bars will be 5people
deep, restaraunts will be slammed, there will be drunk and disorderly concert
goers, it is a MUSIC FESTIVAL
Every hotel within 10 miles of AP are doing packages for that weekend, shuttles
will be running from Ocean/Neptune/Tinton Falls etc
Any event that takes place in AP will have residents that can give two shits
about said event. For instance, The Oysterfest, I can't stand that event, but I
embrace for the greater good of the city

Have to say that I'm not so wild about Bamboozle coming to AP (and it has
nothing to do with age or music choice - love the Foos and I've been to other
Bamboozles in the past....sadly not a Bon Jovi fan).
My concern has to do with our town's ability to handle a festival of this
size. I understand we are getting $200K as a fee, but can our infrastructure
support what will be required. With 40,000 concert goers coming to town, will
our roads accommodate them? Traffic on Asbury Avenue, Sunset, Ocean, etc could
be backed up for miles and affect residents who don't really care about the
concert. Police? EMT's? Will we have kids and concert goers sleeping in cars
and on the beach (given the number of hotels in town, doesn't sound like we'll
have too many accommodation options)? And I think to expect that this will be
beneficial to the restaurants in town isn't realistic given the demographics of
the target audience......
Is there a plan in place?
