Blossom Music Center

Going to a concert at Blossom has become absolutely ridiculous. Hours to get in, insufficient sound at the show and more hours to get out. I don't know if you've noticed but the music volume on the lawn in so low you can have a normal conversation with someone 8 feet away with no problem. Which lets any rowdy people on the lawn completely drown out the show. It would be better to sit at home and listen to a greatest hits CD on my home stereo. At least then I wouldn't have to endure TWO FREAKIN HOURS to get out of the parking lot plus 17 extra dollars in Ticket Master ""convenience fees"" on top of my 30 dollar ticket price. It's time to shut down this inconvenient albatross and the best way to do this is to STOP BUYING TICKETS. Who's with me??? Pros: Can't think of any Cons: Can't get in or out in under 3 hours more

i was very upset at the concert of eric clapton. we spent alot of money having family come up from indiana and only seen 30 minnets of the show. i myself would never buy or come back to blossem again . i used to come to many concerts there but i would never buy again. i had bought 6 pavilian seats and what a waist. we could not even fight the croud to get our seats. we allso had a handicap person with us wich inconsiderate people would not move for we only wanted what we paid for.i was soooo inbarresed to be there and to even invite them back to any concert there. i gave you such high reviews befor but that has all changed. i hope other people write you. i allso filled out complante forms at blossem . i wish you would compesate us for something .joan williams 7601 spafford cleveland ohio 44105 Pros: i did like it here Cons: i do not like it now more

I saw James Taylor perform at blossom in 1978, so I was very excited to see him last night. The most disapointing thing was that the group seated behind us was so drunk and obnoxious that we could not hear over their yelling. When my husband asked them if they could be a bit quieter, they then decided to heckle us. During intermission we moved to the lawn and found the crowd younger and better behaved! There was no security visable in the pavillion, only 20 year old ushers to keep an eye on things. I will not be going back to Blossom. It seems selling beer is more a priority than providing a good concert experience. It seems that in 1978 my 20 year old friends and I had more respect for the music and the people around us. Pros: James Taylor is still a great performer Cons: Too many drunks, lack of visable security, extremely expensive food and drink more

The city of Cuyahoga Falls has made Blossom Music Center turn the music down so much that lawn seats are a waste of money. It used to be fun to sit under the stars on the grass and sip a beer while singing your favorite songs. Now you can't here the music. What a great past time Blossom used to be. Pros: setting, location Cons: sound, parking, convenience more

and why do they use it for concerts? Driving off too the middle of nowhere to sit out in the lawn and not able to even make out the band is not what I call a good time. Then you drive home...you can't get out of the parking lot...then you have to go thru a maze to get back to the highway...its all crazy and stupid. They don't let you just roam as you please like Nautica.... if your lucky enough to get a pit ticket the night is fun...otherwise your confinded to a seat or the lawn. Blossom was meant for the Cleveland orchestra and therefore it was a mistake. Pros: shows Cons: parking, expensive, distance more

Yes, it's fun to see the Orchestra here, and yes it can be fun to run around on the lawn, but for sound quality and actually SEEING a band, outdoor venues are pretty crappy, and this one is the worst. Unless you are in the Pavillion, you may as well just go to the Metroparks and bring along a CD player and a photo of the band - the effect will be about the same. Pros: good parking, lots of seating Cons: crowded, expensive, bad concerts more

In 1997, I went to go the smashing concert of the Spice Girls. I was very impressed with BMC (Blossom Music Center). Everything was laid out nice. In 2000, my father performed at BMC for the Swing and Jazz Fest. It was very nice backstage. I hope to go back to BMC in a few years again. Pros: Concerts, Sound Cons: Bathrooms, Consession Prices, Service more

I have been going to Blossom Music Center to watch my favorite concert artists since the early eighties. I loved going there the first time and still love it. The feeling that you get when you are there is like no other. You are outdoors under the stars, one with nature viewing your favorite artist, you can not beat that. I just wish they still let you bring in a bottle of wine and a cheese plate. Pros: outdoors, events, clean Cons: line for the bathroom, long walk from car, beverage costs more

The SHOWS themselves can't be beat! But GETTING there and getting OUT would test the patience of Job. Speed traps, endless one lane traffice and walking about 2 miles from your parking space get you all OUT of the mood! Add to that the $6 soda/beer and you wonder if turning up your stereo, opening the windows and stretching out in the yard wouldn't be as much fun. Pros: beautiful, cheap tickets Cons: hard to get to/from, very pricey food, smelly/dirty bathroom more

NOTHING LIKE THE OUTDOORS FOR GOOD MUSIC, FRIENDS, LOVED ONES AND STRANGERS. more

Everyone has to experience Blossom at least once. Sure beer is expensive, but hey, it's a small price to pay for hanging at a top name concert with the ones you love. Besides, you could always check out the orchestra and bring along some wine. If you don't like sitting amounst the throng, grab some pavillion seats. Pros: best acts, good sound Cons: bathrooms, beer prices $8.00 more
