I don't like that general admission is so far from the stage. I feel bad for the first few acts of the day when not as many people go to the shows. Their audience is SO FAR AWAY and so spread out! I feel like it would be hard to perform that way.
I'm not a fan of the ticket system (stand in a line to buy tickets then get in another line to buy food and drink with said tickets) also having to scope out how many tickets you'll need before buying the tickets...just seems excessive.
I am pleasantly surprised at how well they clean the grounds after the first night. I watched the group in front of us throw all of their garbage on the ground when there was garbage bins 10 feet away. At the end of the night they left it all there for others to clean up. Disgusting really. And they were all 40-60 years old if I had to guess, so not even the "younger generation". Though they did plenty of littering as well
I was honestly hoping for a stronger lineup for the 30th anniversary. We didn't go to Saturday's shows, mostly because of the rain, but also because we just saw Jason Aldean 5 years ago. We've actually skipped going several years because of the lineup. There's so many good artists out there! Loved Rocket Club though, and Chris Hawkey Band when...
Read more3 of us have been and enjoyed the concert in past years. This venue has completely outgrown the grounds. They have VIP and handicap parking in the same area. Many including me was not able to access the concert area due to having to park TOO FAR AWAY! The VIP and handicap parking needs to seriously be changed. Violation of ADA. There were way too many under age people drinking. There was not enough bathrooms for the amount of people. It was unfortunate that Saturday was a complete wash. Weather was not in their control. The did a great job updating everyone on Facebook. Maybe it's time to expand the concert grounds. Definitely have to allow handicap people access. Need better handicap parking and more of it. Volunteers had very little control. They were getting brunt of the complaints. Also alot more bathrooms and better placement on grounds. Need to do a better job with ID and underage drinking. I will not be returning to...
Read moreGreat music once inside with variety of food options but not enough to do in between shows.
I was expecting more tents, games or carnival rides for those spending all day but there was none.
Additionally, they should specify what VIP/Premium means. For that ticket classification, they should provide ample restrooms (they did not have enough for the area) and other festivals are offering temperature controlled viewing areas and restrooms. Also, the line for food within the VIP area was exceptionally long.
Parking was a disaster -- good guidance getting in but getting out offered no organization and unnecessarily longer waits.
To the other points, yes, rain made the grounds unhabitable.
However, for the price and the Calibur of acts,...
