Sleep Train Amphitheatre

Horrible!!
Advise....
If you ever go to this venue, make sure its someone you really want to see that is amazing.    Would not suggest the lawn seating, hopefully the sound is better down below.  Sneak in your drinks and wear a depends diaper! Call a taxi or have a driver.
 I have been a frequent concert goer for 13 years and this was one of the worst venues.  I just moved to San Diego and was really excited to see what the music scene here had to offer. Not good!!  
Went to see Atmosphere and Slightly Stoopid.
A)  Driving in was not bad (I read other yelp reviews, they must have fixed the traffic problem), was a wait as to be expected. The line to get in was super long, but moved fast.  
B) We read online that you could bring a blanket to sit up in the lawn seating, as we are being searched they inform us that they aren't letting blankets in.  Really?!  Had to leave my favorite blanket behind and of course it wasn't there when we left.
C) The LINES!!  Are you kidding me?!  Seriously if you have a venue that holds that many people why are the lines so long!!  I missed 1/2 of Atmosphere waiting 20 min to get a beer then another 35 min to go pee!!  WTF!  Our group of 4 never got to watch the show together, we were all taking turn going to wait 30 mins for beer.  Why is there only 10 toilets for all these people!  Get some porta potties, there is plenty of space up against the walls!  
D) The sound and screens. Ok I get that we sat in the lawn, but really have they not upgraded the sound system since its been open?  The treble was to high and the bass was to low.  There was a tinging sound the whole time!  Tried moving to the center lawn, was a little better but not awesome.  You can't see anything!  It was hard to see what exactly they were even doing on stage, the screens were so small!!
E) Where are the TAXIS?!?!  We left the venue 30 min early to beat the crowd. I've been to plenty of shows to know that the cabs get taken on their way in, so it's no surprise to me that there is no taxi line as you exit the venue. But all 4 of us start walking 30 min down  to main with no taxi in sight!  Seriously?!  So much for providing responsible fun!  The hour we walked to main and back got us sober enough to take the 20 min drive home.  So much for leaving the concert early to beat the crowds. Even on the drive to the 805 we never saw 1 taxi.  Epic fail

yay for concerts..yay for music

Let me by start off by saying that this was my first outdoor venue and i LOVED it... The fresh air was a plus, it didn't stink like b.o. and beer lol the sound was pretty dope but then again I was on the 3rd row next to the speakers (bring ear plugs!!).

((seating: Orch Left, Row C, Seat 11-12......... Slightly obstructed by sound equipment on stage, overall good seats just when the artist walked toward the back of the stage thats when it was hard to see.  If buying tickets on Orch Left try getting smaller seat numbers ex: seat 1-4, those were the better seats closer to the center of the stage))

I came here to watch Pitbull and Kesha (they were both GREAT) and I must say due to past reviews I was dreading coming here but after my experience I will surely come back if another of my favorite artist preforms here ( I made the drive from LA, and am willing to make it again).

Ok so the main complaint yelpers have is the getting in/out of the parking lot.
Here's what I did, I got there an hour and a half early.  Call me crazy but I rather just hangout (pre game) in the lot for an hour or so, rather than showing up closer to show time and having to wait an hour in traffic just to get in.  The other benefit for showing up early is that you get to park closer to the exit.  I literally got out of the lot within 10 minutes, and reached the 805 fw a few mins after that.  I was on my way home after the show within 15 mins, this is actually that fastest I have EVER gotten out of a lot after a concert.  Getting there early was sooo worth it, and waiting doesn't feel long bc you're there with ppl that you have fun with so it goes by quick.  Many other people did the same, some girls were getting ready in their cars others were just hanging out.  You can either wait happily before the show or you can wait hating life and everyone in it after lol.  

OHHH and they let you bring in sealed water!!
So you can save your money and buy yourself a souvenir lol

hopefully this helps someone enjoy their future show :)
