You need to take the cap off your bottle because if you discard or lose it on the floor it with the cap on, it's a huge tripping hazard that WILL be fatal incase of an emergency. It's not because the festival or venue wants to sell more drinks.

Why is a bottle with a cap on riskier than a bottle without a cap on?
Also, I'm not sure what you're referring to, so could you please clarify? Are you saying that there are venues that ask people to open their bottle caps and keep the bottle and the cap separately?
I'm gonna guess at the answer
Because the call still being on gives the shape strength. Instead of harmlessly crushing into the ground, it holds the shape long enough that it will hold YOUR entire weight on one foot in a way you can't balance on before you fall.
By the time the liquid or air is able to get out of the bottle, because the cap is on, the damage will have been done.
In the middle of people frolicking dancing jumping pumping thumping moshing surfing the bottle with a call on might as well become a looney tunes or Mario kart ananas peel

This is illegal in the EU now...
I guess we are all doomed to die by tripping on bottles with the cap on. All for the environment and to reduce the ocean plastic.

There are different screen sizes. Your monitor isn't the standard universal size of every other monitor, some are larger and some are smaller. Your phone isn't the same width and height as every other phone. The website will look different on different devices.
