Sarah McLachlan Tickets

I remember Lilith Fair as being more "organic" - everyone lounging on blankets or dancing freely by the stage as acts took turns playing. Yesterday's event was more polished and slick - it lost some of that original charm. That being said, the music was excellent, and I certainly enjoyed listening. I just felt more like an observer this time... There were also some organizational issues. No info was available online (or on arrival) as to scheduling. People sitting in the stands at 2:30 were surprised as word got around that the mainstage acts didn't start until 5:30. There were two minor stages outside the stadium, but they weren't marked as to which stage was which or who was playing on them. Unless the performer said her name, we had no idea! (There was a small lighted sign at one end of the stadium running through the acts and where they were playing. The times were wrong, though. My particular favourite gaff was that the sign advertised "Grave Porter and the Nocturnals" as opposed to Grace Potter...) It also would have been nice to have had the large video screens beside the stage to give the people way back in the stands a better idea of what was happening. The tickets were not cheap by any stretch, and it was surprising that they weren't there. We spent at least 3 hours waiting in line - to get in, to buy a drink, to buy food, to use the bathroom. I'm pretty sure that doesn't happen at football games... My only other complaint was poor timing. It was very sad to have Sarch McLachlan's performance cut short - they had to have known that there's a curfew at McMahon Stadium! However, all that aside, I really did have a great day. I hope they'll work out some of the glitches (and lower the price) and try it again next year...

Tickets said 2:30, the website did not post the schedule, but also indicated a 2:30 start. No artists were onstage until 5:30.

Lilith 2010 was a superb combination of a sunny day, a very diverse crowd and an overall feeling of respect for each other. The format for the main stage was timely, crowd control was no more or less than it needed to be and the artists all played incredibly well. I took my young daughters and did not worry at all for their safety or being exposed to anything other than a unique moment of communion and musical enjoyment. A singular event for a gent who has been a live music consumer for more than 25 years.

No schedule was posted prior to the event so we found out when we got there at 2:30 that the main stage groups were starting at 5:20; if I had known that ahead of time, I would have arrived later in the afternoon. More complete communication about the event would have earned this 5 stars (the music was great!).

Disappointed the show didn't started at 14h30... that's what I was under the impression... But overall We enjoyed the show in evening.

Don't get me wrong, Everyone was great but you ran out of hot food, it took to long after ever set. Why don't you let all performer sing on the big stage! A 8 hour concert. I will never do that again!

Fantastic show. Expensive tickets but worth it. Top quality performances - a fun time - highly recommended!

Great show. First show on the tour so the usual lines for food, alcohol toilets could have been better planned. I have been to far better Lilith shows in the past where the organization was excellent. But this was the first show and Calgary was proud to have it here and I was glad I did not miss it. Sarah was cheated of time on stage as we have a stupid bylaw here in regards to the noise at McMahon Stadium. Lets all protest that. The warm season it far to short for neighbors to pull the plug on a little bit of fun in this town in the summer. Anyways back to the show it was great in fact superb moments were provided by all the Acts. Sarah get OUT OF TUNE on your playlist. Sheryl your little man on stage was KILLER>>>THE CROWD WAS HAVING A GOOD TIME ....go see the Lilith it's summer time.

Fantastic concert - only saw the main acts ( Colbie , Erikha , Sheryl , Sugarland , and Sarah ) , Erikha I could have lived without hearing - a rather weird entertainer and non appealing songs . These main singers , minus Erikha , had fabulous appeal and warmed to the crowd instantly , interacted with the audience and played to EVERYONE . Seeing little Wyatt ( Sheryl's son ) on stage grooving for a couple of minutes in his jammies was too cute ! POOR catering planning on McMahon Stadium's part , running out of food - unacceptable . Thank goodness the entertainment was terrific .

Minus some weird Calgary curfew and oddly sucky security, all the performers do not fail to deliver exactly what they are supposed to a celebration of what is amazing about female singers, thay are talented, and funny and warm and beautiful and just make you feel good. You just have soo much fun dancing too!!

The event was wonderful, the day was perfect!! I aboslutely LOVE Sugarland! They ROCKED the stage! The line-up was good. It was the first time attending a Lilith Event. It was a little confusing as the tickets said doors open at 2 and music starts at 2:30. We didn't realize that the main performers didn't go on stage until 5:30 and that the event didn't end until 11:00 pm. It would have been nice to have the schedule posted on line (we couldn't find any information on-line about the event before we attended). It would have helped us to plan the day a little better and be better prepared.

Lilith in Calgary was an unforgettable experience. It was one of the best concerts I had seen in a long time. I am very happy to see that Sarah is back. Her songs are special to me. They bring beautiful memories of my fiance who unfortunately passed away from cancer two years ago. Thank you Sarah for your very special gift. One note of improvement is that I would have preferred that all acts played at the main stage. It was a little confusing on where which bands were playing. As well, as McMahon has a 11pm curfew, Sarah had to cut her playing time. I would have preferred her to play longer. I haven't seen her in concert since 1998.

My group and I were very disappointed that the head liner (Sarah McLachlan) was kicked off of the stage because other artists ran over the time allotted for them. There was too much "dead air" time in between acts on the main stage and there should have been an emcee or a singer/guitar player filling the time. Also, it would have been nice to have close-ups of artists on a jumbo screen as they were just a big blur. We did enjoy most of the artists and the various organizations at the booths but would have appreciated more collaboration between artists like the previous Lilith.

Long line ups to get in Long line ups for food Could have had vendors walking through the stands and selling beer and Ice cream I liked the concept of the village but would hve put it on the field not the parking lot The energy of the show was fragmented Get rid of Erykah Badu and shorten the program so that Sarah ends at 10 then could jam with other musicians. Loved the music of Cheryl Crowe, Sugarland, Sarah and first performer on Main Stage.

Great music, great crowd...but there weren't enuf ATMs or food venues!!!

There was not any information about what time the performances started. The video screen only started showing the times around 5:30. I missed all of the performances in the village because I didn't even know that there was a village. The performances on the main stage were very good. Sugarland was that the best performing group.

My first Lilith Fair and I LOVED it.. The opening acts were great, especially the little Aussie. It would have been nice to have more duplicate booths to avoid long wait times and more staff manning the concession stands. Women and food go hand in hand and next time I will pack a goody bag. The other suggestion would be to sell tickets for right up front for people to STAND and DANCE so that others can see, and still enjoy the concert. We all love to GROOVE to the TUNES but it's very rude to STAND in front of someone, who may not want to or is unable to stand for the whole concert. Or in my case, short. Everybody wants to enjoy the moment, so it would be nice to accomodate the movers and shakers and the relaxers and reflectors.

I was at the last Lilith in 2009 and the first one in 2010. Life doesn't get much better than that. Great day, sunshine and great friends.

I really loved Lilith Fair. This was my first time at the event, and I am already hoping and looking forward to the next one. I could have done without Erykah Baduh, but that just gave us time to have a little stretch. Wish it could have gone on longer and there wasn't a noise curfew!

It was a great show but not worth the money i paid.... Not happy about once you go through the gate you cannot go back out to your car or anywhere.... 2:00 until 10:00 is a long time to be staying in one place with not alot of entertainment..... Should of been artists playing at all times... Too much time in between to wait for the next artist to go on stage.... Would I go again? NO Am I glad I went YES.... Next time it should be abit more organized..... Thank-you
