VIP Service blown by stagecoach Management

[Rose]

They really should have marked VIP P1 and it really didn't need to be that large of an area if you limit it to P1 patrons ONLY (even I got in by mistake). P2 VIP should have a separate area from GA w/VIP. Day one you couldn't get through VIP and they fixed that for day 2 by allowing NO blankets or chairs. Two food choices only (you spoiled us in previous years) with all kinds of choices. Also how about pizza by the slice instead of only whole pizzas. Some people go alone. I ended up going to the bathrooms either to my left (facing stage) which mean't I didn't spend my money to get a drink or hiking it out of VIP and walking over to the bathrooms inbetween the other two stages which never had a line and had TWO airconditioned trailers to choose from. Tighter security in seated areas. SICK of the seat fillers and they are super rude. Need to INFORCE that rule of cannot take seat until AFTER the concert has ended. Too much commotion during the last act.

it's sad that people can't police themselves, that they need an official person to tell them what is ok and what is not even when they know the rules.

Did you ever think that VIP costs so much because when you buy a ticket, you get blown by stagecoach Management? That's quite a perk.

BRING BACK THE LANYARDS!! What a pain in the arse when carrying two drinks to have security hold your drinks while you dig your ticket back out, all sweaty in your pocket to show them AGAIN you seat number.

Also, my complaints were for the VIP1 section, not VIP2 sections. That VIP1 area was poor this year for the food and lines, cuz they let everyone in on Saturday.

A lot of intelligent festival-goers did indeed have lanyards.

Only from bringing ones from years past. The people who arrived first and figured it out posted on these boards to bring em since we were not getting new ones this year.

I had mine from last year... I always bring them... just in case! This year it paid off because yes if I had my hands full they could reach for the ticket.
My daughters didn't bring thiers.. as a matter of fact when they did give the lanyards out they would put them in their purse because it "Wrecked" thier outfits.. and believe me those outfits were planned for at least a week! LOL LOL

Hey all...

I'm new to the forum (I have been lurking a bit and finally registered).

We attended SC this year (for the first time) and bought GA tickets. We were talking about coming VIP next year, but after reading this thread, I am not sure. Unless they fix the problems you all had, I am not sure it is worth the extra money.

I think GA rocked. We waited in NO lines. Seriously, I was shocked, because I expected lines for everything. The longest line had two people ahead of us for drinks, and none for bathrooms.

I was cool with watching on a screen. The first day we had awesome seats in front of a screen. The second day we met up friends who wanted to sit closer so we could see the stage but our view was impaired by foot traffic the entire time, so we could only see if we stood up. But we had fun with all the crazy fun peeps around us and people watching and we did have a screen to the left us that we could see when we wanted.

We can't wait for SC 2011!

My husband and I had GA the first year and have done the VIP ever since. Even with all of the BS of people to trip over sitting on the ground in the VIP concession area it was still nice to have a seat up front to come and go to. I just wish they would set up a GA VIP area so that the VIP eexperience is truly what it should be.

[PrncessJess22]

I agree with you KELLY&DAVE! During the last 3 years I have attended SC, the year I sat in GA was my least favorite! Even with the lil kinks that need to be worked out in the VIP lounge... I will always buy a reserved seat! jmo

Anyone who purchased VIP seats last year knows we did not receive the class of service we paid for, and were not treated better than the general admission guests in terms of special resources available to us because we paid extra for them ( well pointed out already by lack of beer/drink lines, worse and less food options than available to general public, etc.) And what about those cheap seats! By the second day, all kinds of people around us were falling though the torn fabric of the "chairs" so poorly constructed that the fabric didn't hold together. It was a drag to have attendants and ushers run back and forth trying to replace those seats after a half hour of complaints from those who fell through. It ruined thsome sets for the rest of us. Don't forget the silly young people employed as ushers up front who wouldn't squat down and blocked the view for the expensive ticket holders. Nor would they stop fooling around rather than being alert for potential problems. Who was in charge of that!?
It doesn't have to happen again.

In terms of admission, let's have an extra, separate VIP line at all the entrances so those who pay don't have to wait an eternity to get in.
We appreciated the wider fire lanes so walking the gauntlet to better food and drink didn't make us feel like we were likely to be pushed over. That's the way to look out for us.

Good treatment doesn't have to cost a lot of money, but it keeps us willing to lay out the money to keep Goldenvoice in business. Show us you care this time and give us back a place to go away from the maddening crowd with good food and drink choices and the leased couches we are paying for. Then we'll pay up once again and make it worth your while.

Yeah...but unfortunately, she has some valid points...food sucked!! first night everyone and their mom was allowed in, 45min for a drink...then cuz they were color blind and could not see our vip bracelets, they shut down the exit from the vip lounge to our seats!! But after a few choice words from me they let me thru. The next night I thanked the bouncers for getting their crap together, they said they had a meeting apparently and that they were sorry and thanked me for complimenting them, and hope they are doing a much better for us.

Chairs did suck! They broke right away! Also, all the NON ticket holders that the bouncers let up front for the whole concert sucked! I saw and overheard them and how they would let certain "little girls" up front, as well as some other concert "regulars". COME ON WE PAID LOTS OF MONEY, THEY DIDNT!!
