Movement 2024 by the numbers

Dropped: the original is a fabricated statistics dossier attributed to a Paxahau figures release that does not exist, and its few checkable claims are wrong.

Dropped. The original article presents a detailed "by the numbers" dossier (113,000 total attendance, day-by-day counts, EMS call totals, arrests, press credentials, an $80 million economic-impact figure, and 2025 pre-sale prices) attributed to a Paxahau figures release that does not exist on the official press page, and its few independently checkable claims are false: it credits a "Skrillex draw" for Sunday (Skrillex played 2023, not 2024), lists 3-day GA at $225/$275 and VIP at $499 when 2024 pricing was $289 GA and $399 VIP, and omits the actual Movement 2024 news (the Sunday severe-weather evacuation of Hart Plaza around 6:43pm with gates reopening near 10pm). No clean primary supports the invented figures, so there is nothing legal and accurate to rewrite from.
