After applying for a permit that allowed a party for 400 guests, according to HoCo representatives, the House sold 300 to 400 extra tickets. But they did not provide adequate crowd control, allowing hundreds of wet and wild scantily clad undergraduates and prefrosh to stream out into the cool night air.
