With hundreds of cars stuck in the mud and more pouring in from many directions, Vermont State Police on Saturday started turning back traffic headed to the Phish festival, and telling ticketholders they would get refunds but no admittance. Police erected a roadblock on Interstate 91 and other roads on Saturday morning and told fans headed to the two-day festival at the Newport State Airport to turn around. "Because of the heavy rains, parking inside the festival site has basically become impossible, and they're concerned for peoples' safety," said Adam Lewis, a spokesman for the concert promoter, Great Northeast Productions, said Saturday. All ticket holders denied entry to the site will get their money back, the promoter said in a statement.

Police, not Phish, turning away concert goers. After a few hours Mike Gordon came on the bunny (the 24-7 radio station Phish is running onsite, XM radio and an internet outlet) with the captin of the vermont troopers and announced no more vehicles will be allowed on site. This (as sourced somewhere else on this site from cnn/abc or the bbc) led to 6,000 - 10,000 people abondoning 2,500 vehicles on I-91 to walk upwards of twelve miles to the site of coventry. This after sitting in 15 hours of traffic the day before.
