I go to several concerts every year and have never had a major issue with this venue, until last night. 1.5 hours in line to get in, and I arrived 30 minutes after gates opened! No notice that lawn chairs, larger bags were not allowed ahead of time. Social media is a fast & easy way to disperse information guys!
I get that it was a safety measure, but when we got to the gate no one even checked my blanket or bag! I could've smuggled in God knows what in my blanket. So if I missed the opening act to ensure my safety, this was a piss poor way to go about it.
To make matters worse the staff did not seem to have any idea of what was going on or why, we were snaked through the parking lot all willy nilly. It seemed like they moved VIP parking back some to accommodate this line from hell, and I would've been LIVID had I spent the $30 for VIP parking like I originally planned on. Also, after about 45 min of waiting a staff member offered VIP entrance for $50! After the opener was already done performing! EEEEK - this venue already took enough of our money for tickets & exorbitant food/bev cost.
