Suggestons for next year...

[Peep50]

More screens for the pions in the back......stage must be 1/2 mile or more away.

Less aggressive searchers at the admission gate.

More security inside the venue.

No more Kid Rock type artists....keep it country and family oriented.

Great job, overall!!!!

[maduro_1]

maybe goldenvoice should have a seperate roots and bluegrass festival and stop billing pop acts as country....

[Cooter]

maybe people should walk to the other stages if they don't like who is performing on the mane stage. there are options, not gv's fault if people are lazy.

[Peep50]

Not lazy....no fire lanes to walk through!

nope. you're right. It's gv's fault if they book sh*tty shows that no one who pays good money wants to watch.

And as to the side stages, might have had 3 good acts on all weekend. Waste.

I agree with Peep50 about Kid Rock. I had my children with me, and I could have done without the profanity from the stage. I loved everyone else.

I thought the $10.00 water program was great this year. But I wish they had more refill stations available. The refill lines were long on Sunday.

The Porta Potties needed to be cleaned and TP refilled more often.

This is my theory on Stagecoach - it was hot, windy, crowded, crazy, tiring, but despite it all, IT WAS A BLAST! And I would do it all over again in a heartbeat!

in your opinion, plenty of others disagree...

[maduro_1]

3 good acts on the side stages? what fest were you at bud? geez, i've got to move to texas asap.

[Peep50]

Even though we had a couple of bad experiences on Sunday, we will be back next year. Go Country!

[WacosSon]

I'd like to add....

- more coverage with beer booths and closer to mane stage

- better queuing at restrooms. talk about a nightmare!

- more water filling stations

- forum camping area closer to venue like previous years. Campers already have to rough it for the weekend, at least save them the 2 mile walk!

- larger tent camping spots - even 10x10. I know you'd have to sell less tickets to do it, but that might not be a bad idea based on the turnout for this year. Happier campers are going to bring more people and would even be willing to pay a little more.

- maintain blanket areas vs chair areas. Blanket areas in front of stage followed by chair areas behind worked great on saturday, what happened on sunday?

-don't conflict the decent acts on side stages with mane stage. If you're gonna shove charlie daniels, ricky skaggs, rev. horton, and Pure Prairie League acts to the side, put them in between gaps on the mane stage - some of us want to hear it all!

- and for my own personal preference - how about coors instead of bud?

[annutt]

I would like to see more like Blake Shelton, Julianne Hough, Kelli Pickler Montongery Gentry, Jason Aldean, Gary Allan, Sara Evans, Alan Jackson, Neil Mccoy, Hal Ketchum, Collin Raye, George Strait here are just some, have more new artist out there that trying a maske a new break with Country music Some of these people you don 't even hear about no more. Let give them a change, mix them up with some big names.

Exactly.....
Even the press can't get over there fast enough that is a problem.....
Crowd contol and closeness then loosing your area by some drunk passed out in your chair (or spot) you came in early to get to leave the mane area...Insane and just not well thought out...

They also need a VIP area in the other stages and sooooo much more....
Comeon guys third year now.You did get handicap finally down yet they need some shade for those peeps...

[horsephotographer]

Sorry, I gotta agree only three good acts on mane stage....

The wrist band distribution on the first day was delayed for those with Reserved Seating. It took an hour to get to our seats. At Noon, we entered to find EMPTY wristband booths in the "Lobby" as well as next to the main Beer Garden. WTF? Security at the Beer Garden had NO CLUE as to when the wrist band booths would be staffed. We waited in line in the sun for a good solid 20 minutes before anybody came to the booths. Three staffers showed up, explained to us that they had NO wristbands with them, and that someone would be coming with them "momentarily." Another 20 minutes went by before anyone showed up with the wrist bands. That woman was apparently in charge, but she only had a manila envelope with SOME wristbands. As we waited another 5 minutes, she began to TRAIN the three staffers, right in front of us!!! Incredible. Incredibly BAD. We paid a ton of dough for the Reserved Seating. The least they can do is spare us another 45 minutes waiting in line in the sun to get our wristbands. It was ridiculous. I just know they can do better than that.

waiting an hour after the gates opened to obtain my VIP seat wristband was horrible. That's the time I was planning on using to also purchase a t-shirt. I don't mind waiting in line but that was a line that had an empty booth and then when someone finally showed up they didn't have the wrist bands yet.

Personally, I'd like to see any of these artists:
Phil Vassar
Alan Jackson
Jo Dee Messina
Jason Aldean
Gary Allan
Deana Carter

And I would LOVE to see Little Big Town return. I"ve been a fan of theirs since Boondocks was released in 2004 and bought the album. The entire album is solid...I especially like "Wounded" and "Welcome to the Family". They're great!

[Suzi90712]

I'm one

[Joey]

People who payed for Vip/Reserved seats NEED TO HAVE a reserved/vip area on the two smaller stages. other than that It was a great year... the line up wasn't as good as last year... charlie daniels should have been main stage... but i had an amazing time...

[Cooter]

why? you guys get all the amenities at the mane stage. it's ok to mix with all the ga lowlife's a little bit...

[saucey]

I would LOVE to see Toby Keith. Leave the section for blankets only and keep it blankets only. More water filling up stations. More walkways, so hard to get around inbetween sets. More time to see the smaller stages! But it was so amazing still! Absolutely an epic weekend!
