I have gone to four concerts here, and this past one (Vans Warped Tour) was officially my last. I will NEVER set foot in this venue again.
Why? Because every time there is a concert or all-day festival, there is not enough security or police presence. They are always understaffed, which causes parking to be a complete mess, underage drinking, people DUI-ing, etc. When you have an understaffed security force, they understandably get frustrated dealing with drunk and angry hooligans, but that's not to say they should use physical force against such people unless they are being disorderly.
I bought a ticket for my best friend to come with me to Warped Tour as a surprise for their bday. We were at the main stage, and suddenly I realized my backpack was no longer attached to my shoulders. We were walking up and down the aisles to see if I had left it in a seat, and when doing so my friend was approached for "looking suspicious", put in a chokehold, detained, and then beaten with a baton. My friend didn't provoke the security officer in any way, and I am so frustrated because there is nothing we can do about it and the Comcast staff keep dismissing our claim.
This was by far the worst concert experience of my life.
Sound quality is usually good, but the free parking is a NIGHTMARE and the concession prices are completely absurd ($9.75/beer, $8/fried dough, $6/fries, $5.50/20oz soda, $4.50/water).
This place is starting to fall apart. The bathrooms are disgusting and some of the big screens were broke last last night (sucks if you sat in one of those areas)
They need to get their head on straight and (a) fix their infrastructure and (b) bring back somewhat reasonable prices.
So I went to a concert here not long ago with my parents. First things first parking was impossible, the attendants just stood around. Now on to my main complaint. Me and my parents went to get a beer as people do, but when my mom who is 52 years old goes to get hers, the people behind the counter refused to accept her driving license because it was a duplicate. It was a duplicate because she had lost her original licence some time back and had to get another from the DMV. She is 52 years old and here she has people YOUNGER than her saying she cant have a beer. So I proceded to buy another beer and give it to her right in front of them. This place has the most incompetent people in charge of its alcohol policy. They disrespected my mother and treated her like a child. we WONT be going back here.
