Pretty Good Experience
by BeePee on 2024-04-23BC Place - VancouverThe festival itself and the short waits between artists was perfect. Things that could be improved on were the numerous people vaping inside the building, even when sitting next to children etc. I tried to bring in an empty water bottle, which has been allowed in the past, and the rude attendant told me no. Later, I saw someone inside with the exact same water bottle? For in and out bands, it would be better if you put them on people as they were coming into the building rather than having a huge lineup as people try to leave and come back. Also, people were sitting wherever they wanted rather than their assigned seating. This wasn't the end of the world, but we had good seats and we didn't want to get up and walk around or get food because we were afraid that someone would take our seats and we would have to ask them to move upon return. Also, it would have been nice to have a merchandise spot on the upper levels rather than all being on the lower levels. Lastly, we didn't have to show our tickets to get into the outdoor part, so did people actually have tickets to this or was it not technically part of the festival as anyone could have been searched and come in....
