Overall, considering the size of the event, the complaint list was fairly small. A record-breaking amount of people, (around 40,000 individuals) attended this year's big event.
The most and probably expected calls were the accidental butt calls to 911 that were 'assumed' hang-ups. Just a reminder- If you notice that you have accidentally 'butt-dialed' 911, they ask that you don't hang up, but instead, tell them that you dialed by accident. Being at a music festival, most people probably had no idea that this happened, and probably wouldn't have been able to hear anyone on the phone, but for future reference, remember to let 911 operators know that everything is okay.
Not surprisingly, the next biggest issue on the list was minors drinking.
