      Terrible experience Inbox **** ****** <**************************>May 10, 2024, 4:30PM (4 days ago)to stayclassy I want my money back This was a very unorganized venue. No security to ensure lines are not cut. Stay Classy via ******************************* May 12, 2024, 9:34AM (2 days ago)to me Both the event organizer and Events.com sent many advance notices to get people the Know Before You Go emails and links to the prohibited items pages to educate themselves before showing up... Unfortunately, on Friday there were a ton of attendees showing up with prohibited items, and all those confiscations by security guards take time and slow down the lines and on that day there was an unusually high number of confiscations.

I have gone to Boots in the park, comic con, and other eventsTheir events were well managed especially comic ******* are you expecting me to accept your event managers inability to mitigate enviable situations that obviously they know would happen since you stated, Both the event organizer and Events.com sent many advance notices to get people the Know Before You Go emails and links to the prohibited items pages to educate themselves before showing up.But failed to properly prepare for it.Further more, Im dumbfounded by your assumption that other attendees would have their morals/integrity in check when attending these events. Do not want a complimentary ticket on mothers days.I am a mother of 2 and my family planned a family gathering for Mothers Day .I want my refund for my unused tickets **** ****** <**************************>May 13, 2024, 9:05AM (1 day ago)to Stay Also My husband is a disabled veteran There was no line or designated area for *** people to check in and get their wristbands.

      Business Response

      Date: 10/22/2024

      We provided a response directly to the complainant, letting her know that our lines were not longer than other comparable festivals for entry. In fact ours moved much quicker than many other SoCal area festivals, and it is just the nature of our industry that there will be lines for entry to any large festival, concert or sporting event at the busiest times when most people show up at once. However, even with that said, we offered a complimentary ticket to come back to the last day of our festival which she declined. We felt we handled the response expeditiously and fairly.
