I don't think SF Civic was as big as 13000; I remember hearing figures more like 10000. Anyway, the official figure for the size of wherever they're playing is being quoted as 14000. Some folks are even upset at a show this big...but what the heck--it's hard enough to get New Year's tickets; maybe this will ease it up a bit. Besides, this is another big 20th anniv. party; I think it's nice for them to make an effort to get more people in.
