three-day concert in golden gate park through 2013. in 2012, after a few years of experience, which i ll talk a little bit about, we entered into an amendment extending it for 2020 until 20 until 2021 and making other changes. today, we are asking to extend it for an additional ten years, and we re doing it at this time as planning it needed three years in is needed three years in advance to arrange artists, equipment, and things like that, so delaying it will only hurt the event. going through first some of the benefits we ve had to the department from this agreement. first, rent payments. it started in 2008 with a payment of 815,000. 2012, we were at 1.4, almost 1.5 million, and in the most recent year, we are at a little over 3.3 million to our revenue which helps with, as you ll be talking about, budget, with helps with our budget numbers and financing. our revenues are based on ticket sale revenues, so as prices have gone up, we ve been able to benefit from that. t
in my conversations with folks, they re talking about at&t park doing something similar so that there are live adjustments made. as you ll see in the chart, we had a high of 384 sound complaints in 2011. it dropped to 47 or 46 in 2015. in 2017, it popped up a little bit to 80, and then this year, we had a significant jump with a large number of complaints coming from the sunset. we had an issue in the sunset this year. it took them a little while to figure out try and figure out what was causing the sound to carry that place, and as the days went on, we got the sound complaints down, which was our goal, from 118 on friday to 68 on saturday to 31 on sunday. we had people call and say thank you, thank you for adjusting this. we re not done looking at this. we re having people investigate what happened in the sunset, bringing in people to make sure we have good ways to respond to this. just finalizing on sound, it just it is an ongoing issue, and something that we take ver
elsewhere. we have one of the best models for a big public event sound system. in my conversations with folks, they re talking about at&t park doing something similar so that there are live adjustments made. as you ll see in the chart, we had a high of 384 sound complaints in 2011. it dropped to 47 or 46 in 2015. in 2017, it popped up a little bit to 80, and then this year, we had a significant jump with a large number of complaints coming from the sunset. we had an issue in the sunset this year. it took them a little while to figure out try and figure out what was causing the sound to carry that place, and as the days went on, we got the sound complaints down, which was our goal, from 118 on friday to 68 on saturday to 31 on sunday. we had people call and say thank you, thank you for adjusting this. we re not done looking at this. we re having people investigate what happened in the sunset, bringing in people to make sure we have good ways to respond to this. just finali
that major infrastructure as well as some of the back hidden road ways where planning begins. helman and lindley are closed the monday before the event, then, immediately after, they re back open. we ve kept bike lanes open on j.f.k. up until the events start so that people can get through. by the weekend after the festival, by that saturday, every meadows is back open. we get them ready for the soccer season just after the festival, so it s timed to work with the community. amplified sounds, so the you know, it is a large concert, and you know in 2012, we imposed large requirements. previously, it had said we ll do commercial reasonable methods to keep noise within the confines. we added some additional provisions. we review the sound plans prior to the festival each year to minimize sound impact. we ensure that the sound systems can be adjusted live in order to ensure that we turn down the sound if we are having particular issues. sound travels differently, depending on t
the bass doesn t come through on a sound mantor, and that s monitor, and that s often what s reported. it s is this something that s a heavy bass, and then, they adjust those, as well. again, sound carries differently based on the particular climate at a specific time. and i have to say our model is something that s being copied elsewhere. we have one of the best models for a big public event sound system. in my conversations with folks, they re talking about at&t park doing something similar so that there are live adjustments made. as you ll see in the chart, we had a high of 384 sound complaints in 2011. it dropped to 47 or 46 in 2015. in 2017, it popped up a little bit to 80, and then this year, we had a significant jump with a large number of complaints coming from the sunset. we had an issue in the sunset this year. it took them a little while to figure out try and figure out what was causing the sound to carry that place, and as the days went on, we got the sound
