| - This is my first time at 910live, here to see a concert. Cool idea for an outdoor venue. Feels like my backyard. Not liking how we were duped tonight, however.
I paid premium for the "VIP" ticket package, which included 2 free drinks, your ticket, front row at the show and a commemorative pass. The doors first said that they opened at 6 in the web, then updated to 7. Here is the reality...
Paid $5 to park in the nearly empty parking lot. Waited in line until 7:30. The VIP area was a raised area on the side, nowhere near the stage. After complaints, a metal barrier was erected to make a small standing area in front of the stage. The 2 free drinks ended up being "venue's choice", which were crappy premixed shots. You couldn't even get a beer, soda or water with your drink ticket. When you don't drink and you're at an outdoor Arizona venue in September, this sucks the big one. The "commemorative pass"? A cheesy sticker.
As if standing the entire time or concrete wasn't painful enough, there were THREE local opening acts to sit through before the main event. It's 1030 as I write, and the last opener has yet to begin.
Update: Headliner finally comes on just before 11. If I could feel my legs anymore, I might have left by now.
Are we freaking serious 910live? I will never attend a show at your venue again. Such a rip off and a big disappointment.
