| - Avoid at ALL COSTS. This event may be worth it if they charged $10, but at $30/$60 a ticket (depending on when you purchase it) you are getting ripped off. Most of the previous reviews cover it-- false advertising, no ticket checking, bad pours, and long, unorganized "lines" (more like clusters of just elbowing yourself to the front).
For half of the event, there were TWO pizza vendors... when they were advertising at least 9+ on the website. We explored to try to find the rest, when we found empty tables with restaurant logos. They told us their pizzas were arriving at 2:30. It was 1:50. We decided to just hang there while we sent half our group to go get beers so we would be first to get the pizza. We waited FORTY MINTUES. No pizza. Finally, one of the other pizza companies that felt bad for the people in line just dropped off a box to tide us over (but wasn't enough for the 30+ people in line). As soon as they were about to open it and hand it out, a volunteer came up and said "Yeah, I'm taking this-- there are volunteers at the front who haven't eaten anything." ... WHAT?!
There was also only ONE person working per tent trying to manage the crowd. Yeah, good luck with that.
The venue they chose was NOT meant for this type of event. It's a concert venue and doesn't allow enough space for the crowd. Either they need to sell less tickets (and actually check them at the door), hire more volunteers (and feed them??) or change the venue. Will not return.
