Woodstock was originally a profit-making event, and admission only became free when hundreds of thousands more people than expected showed up and tore down the entry gates.
A moderate amount of crime took place at the event, as well as two drug overdoses and one accidental death caused by a sleeping bag being run over by a tractor.
It really wasn't as 'perfect' as some people seem to think it was.
The Monterey Pop Festival in '67 was much better.

Lock to field screen, row the ocean onto sentient ground.
New rites of a Vedic sun to attend the blue horizon.
Prevails flight resplendent, sails the shrine effulgent windship.
Stillness breathes apex supreme - I walk toward the mountain.
Crowns the sovereic rite to freedom.
Shored the origin forms to a ground accede.
Axiom core of the light shrine flight to shining.
Glows serene to attenuate the space and time.
