And I certainly wasn't going to go thru the wait the hour to get out that we went thru to get in! When we got to the front of the line, there were people standing around, no one knew why it took so long...

Add to that, I thought they were a poor imitation, at best. The singer struggled with all of the high notes (could be contributed to the night air), and the sound man should have been drawn and quartered...

I bought golf cart tickets when they first went on sale, and my ticket showed a row and "seat" number. When I got there, we were directed, along with everyone else, waaaaay off to the side, when better spots were available, with actual visibility of the stage. We couldn't even see the video screens. I asked about where our "seats" were located and I just got "shrugs, just follow the cart in front of you" replies

We took out lawn chairs to the front, where we were told there was better viewing.

There was maybe 6 feet of space in front of the first row of golf carts and the rope closing off our area. It was completely filled...

We spoke with people who went last year and they were also very disappointed. They told us that last year, the golf carts could drive right up to the stage and visibility was great. No idea why it was changed...

I have tickets for "The Guess Who" on Friday... I'm debating tossing the tix and just going out for a nice dinner...

We bought tickets to 3 of these events...and then started thinking about the logistics of it all, the time to get to the polo field by golf cart, the time to get home, the toilet facilities....then Smoky Robinson pulled out and we decided not to deal with it all....glad they have the refund to credit offer.....just not all that appealing when you add it all up. Smoky tickets were refunded to our card, the other two for credit, but that works.
