text: stars for the ampitheater itself I came to the comedy festival yesterday with some friends and we had good seats tight but good and the sound system and visual were on point nn star for everything else sucking My radar was up when the exit to the theater was backed up for miles on the freeway I would never been before so we did a quick workaround and got off on rd street Approaching the venue I realized that the entrance is not to far from the freeway and you have to make a right turn so all of the cars were waiting in one line when approached from different directions you could have turned into any of the open entrance lanes I found it interesting that there were tons of security in the parking lot NOT directing traffic So you had no idea where parking was available in their labyrinth of a lot but we eventually found a spot nnLine to get in unorganized but not unbearable We arrived about minutes after the gates opened and saw a huge line so like human beings we got in the end of the line and moved along When we got closer we were told that we could join any of the lines that were much shorter right in front of the entrance Bags were checked and we were in after a few minutes nnFor seating people the areas around the stage are WAY too small and cramped in my opinion Every line for concessions was melding into another line and it was difficult to navigate around everyone Also very expensive I was starving so I splurged on a Mikes hard and loaded nachos YeahnnThe show was great Weather was perfect Security was on hand and quickly dealt with hecklers Getting out of the parking lot was a NIGHTMARE again no direction by anyone Took us about minutes and that is because we took a back way out that not a lot of people were keen on I am sure people were there for a lot longer nnWith this knowledge I would definitely come back to see someone I HAD to see live but I would not be running back
