Great show! Unorganized venue.
Illenium threw on an amazing and breathtaking show. He definitely didn't disappoint! My only suggestion is that the line for floor tickets should've been organized better. It wasn't clear where we should go and the line to get our wristband was ridiculously long and unorganized. They should've formed 4-5 lines with one worker scanning and one worker putting on wristbands in each line. However, instead, it was 3 workers scanning and 6 workers putting on wristbands in one single line, but attendees didn't know you could move up further to get your wristband so there was a huge bottleneck. At least have the workers direct people to move further down. Thanks for a great show!
Perfect besides technical issues and VIP experience
There were two instances on the first day where the power to the main stage shut off right before the drops during Illenium's set. He did apologize and offer free tickets to the second day for those who purchased 1-day tickets (I purchased tickets for both days, but I still thought that was nice). My only complaint is the experience with VIP which I'll describe below:
Everything was fine, except initially there was an ticketing issue where VIP was sold to some folks at a lower price by mistake while I paid full price. While this seemed unfair I was fine with it, as I was originally prepared to pay full price for VIP anyway. However, during the event, it was brought to my attention that a large number of people who had not even purchased VIP tickets were being handed a VIP bracelet. It seemed that the VIP section was undersold or something, but it was emptier than anticipated, so non-VIP were given VIP entry for free. This is frustrating because the whole reason I bought VIP was to be closer to the stage and not have to fight crowds to do so. Had they not given out VIP bracelets for free this service I paid for would have been provided, but given what happened I feel cheated (doubly so) since I not only paid full price while others got VIP at a discount, but even had to be crowded in with people who paid for GA and got VIP privilege for free.
At the end of the day I still got to be closer to the stage than I would have if I had purchased GA, but maybe I would have just gotten into the VIP pit for free like so many did; knowing this definitely makes the VIP experience a bit less VIP-y.
