Why oh why do they offer so many good shows here? This place is a nightmare!
First off, the parking is atrocious. Get here like an hour early if you want to avoid the rip-your-hair-out-run-people-over-cuss-a-lot frustration that comes with the freakishly long line of cars that starts a mile before you even get to Ak-Chin. There's got to be a better system for this.
Second...we saw a girl squat down and pee (yes, really) just outside of the pavilion. I don't think we are in Kansas anymore folks...it was disgusting to say the very least...not sure why no one stopped her.
The show itself was great and the weather cooperated fairly well...the seats a re a little close together, which can make for an awkward nice-to-meet-you-sorry-I-brushed-your-arm for the 25th time moment.
The food is a rip off, much like any concert venue. $4.50 for a bottle of water, $9+ for anything alcoholic and at least $8-12 for any type of snack.
We left during the band's last song and before the encore because I could foresee another I-want-to-slit-my-wrists getting out of the parking lot moment. I think we will be staying far away from Ak-Chin as much as possible unless there is a must see concert there.
