Artpark — Attraction in Town of Lewiston

The location is great. However, some concerts way over sold. Sold out concerts are a shitshow with traffic, parking, lines to get in and concession lines. Expect to wait 30min or more for food or drinks. I've attended numerous concerts here, some good experiences some not so great. At my most recent, I had an issue with security, which was mind blowing. My friend and I walked up the brick road near the security stop and the ticket area. We were removed from the line, and security personnel stated that my friend was too drunk to enter. Before arriving, we both had approximately two alcoholic beverages. We were in no way drunk and in no way in the vicinity of even being questioned as to the denial of entering. My friend had on narrow boots, and the brick road is long and uneven. She was wobbling a little bit. This was poor judgment of your security. Also, my friend’s first language is Spanish. A racially insensitive comment was also made by security. Both of us were becoming upset and embarrassed at this point. When I said that we were unjustly singled out they stated that they pulled one guy out of the line earlier. So you are telling me at a sold out concert you only saw 1 guy drunk and then my friend who had two drinks???Security asked her to walk a drunk walk in front of everyone. Everybody in line was saying how wrong all of it was. She did so without a problem and became a little arrogant towards the end of it because she was already embarrassed, so staff continued to harass us. My friend and I are very fit people. Additionally, I believe we were both discriminated against because of our appearance and fit-shamed. After some arguing, parks police were called, and police deemed it satisfactory for us to enter. At this point, however, our night was already ruined after dealing with poor judgment, harassment, fit-shaming/discrimination, racial insensitivity, and embarrassment. My friend spent the next 15mins in the venue crying, and we left about 45min after that. The little bit of the performance we did see was good but super jam packed. I am angered at how the staff at Artpark treated us. As a business owner in the area, all my clients will hear about this. I suggest further training of your team. Maybe just better...

Our group went to see Fitz and the tantrums and have never been to the venue/location before. Lewiston, NY around the venue and i-90 were very well kept and the street leading to the venue was well manicured and super clean with beautiful kept stores/businesses. At the venue, the main parking lot was a $10 charge with polite attendants and very well maintained parking lot. The walk to the venue was about 5 minutes and is a slight hill with a nice clean wide sidewalk. No issues.. There were 2 lines that merged to 1 for a security scan/check. Very quick and well staffed. First stop was off to the venue main washrooms which were all clean and stocked... No issues here. Water and pop were $3 and food varies between $5 and $15. Beer was pricey at $14 for premium and $8 for a below average brand. Front of stage area was given wristbands after another ticket scan which allowed one to move in and out of the area to get drinks/food easily. Staff in the area were very nice and friendly... Easily answered any questions and ensured everyone was going to the correct location. There was an issue with an incoherent patron who security attended to within seconds to ensure everyone else's safety. Lots of security and police present. No issues or they were addressed very quickly. Amazing fun concert with excellent flow of patrons out of the venue. Police were present at the exits of the property. No issues and would definitely come...
