text: For an event that is in its th year I am shocked at how poorly it was organized and run I paid to get the VIP ticket with VIP parking The reason I got the VIP parking was so I could park close and if I wanted come and go I did not have to fight to find parking I found out after I bought the ticket that there was no reentry allowed An hour event that people are held captive at And cannot even go to their cars to grab anything Ever heard of a distinctive stampnNext I agree with Gina about the signage Or have a map at the entrance so people can figure out where they are goingnI found my way to the VIP tent where due to lack of signage I did not know I had to go to the first table to get my wristband so I proceeded to find an area for my friends and I to sit I then proceeded to the food line When I got to the first volunteer at the food table after standing in line for about minutes she told me about having to go to the wristband table before I get food I did and waited another minutes in line to get food The food consisted of rolled meat for sliders crab cake and chicken wings We were told that we could only have of each Then there was salad and chips and salsa no salsa was available I later found out that the House of Blues provided the food for the VIP tent It was horrible food and cold As VIPs we received food tickets I went back a few hours later and they had Jambalaya and chicken wings Nasty and cold I was lucky I got food My friends went about minutes after I did and there was no food left At For an event that lasted until Poor planning House of Blues My friend complained to one of the people in charge of the tent and we got sent over to the volunteers tent to eat Omg what a difference in quality The food there was hot and tastynThe placement of the VIP section was good right next to the stage We had our own porta potties Too bad they were not serviced enough Ran out of toilet paper and paper towels throughout the day Also there should have been better signage for men and women Guys were using the womens and vice versa nThe bands were great Although speakers in the food area would have allowed for everyone to hear them Although jumbo screens on either side of the stage would have allowed people to see themnnSo all in all I was disappointed I overpaid for the event Next year if I decide to go I will pay the cheap price and buy at the vendors since the VIP was not worth the price I hope the organizers take all these suggestions and improve for next years event
