Show was great. Parking was a nightmare!
by CAC on 2024-12-02WinSport Event Centre - CalgaryRating: 3 out of 5We sat in the line-up to get into the parking lot at Winsport for over 45 minutes. By the time we finally got parked and into the venue, the show had been going for 10 minutes. There was nobody to direct us to our seats in the dark theatre and this was a disruption to those that were already seated and watching. We were not the only ones getting there late. I would venture to guess that more than a quarter of the people attending got there late, all without any assistance finding their seats and disrupting the performance for others. Once we struggled in the dark and finally got to our seats, without any assistance what so ever, the show was great! I would give the performance itself 5 stars, but the venue was atrocious. I am told that the delay getting to the parking lot was because people did not have cash to pay for parking. If they need to charge for parking, add it to the price of the ticket. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the performance and would love to see it again next year, but we will not attend if it is at Winsport. I would add that there were a lot of unhappy people because of the parking nightmare, which detracted from an excellent performance.
