My husband & I were very exited to see a Sunday afternoon concert. We purchased tickets for the Brad Paisley concert today the day they went on sale. 1. We are big fans, 2. the date & time were good to be able to get a sitter, drive to Va Beach, catch a concert & be home at a decent time. We were EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED to find when we arrived at the venue that the concert time listed on the tickets (Sun, 10/7 @ 4:00 gates open, concert starts at 4:30pm) was INACCURATE! After entering into the facility and awaiting Taylor Swift & Rodney Atkins to begin the afternoon we found our the opening acts were not going on stage until 7pm. 3 HOURS after gates open?? After further inquiries with the staff, we learned Brad Paisley would not be on stage until approximately 9:00-9:30pm. We were hoping to be home in Richmond by 10pm. After all, we told our sitter we would be home by 10:30pm if traffic was bad. We had wonderful seats we paid handsomely for that we gave to a young couple that had lawn seats. After everything we returned home without seeing a single act. We were just sick thinking about the money we spent & lost because the Va Beach Amphitheater was not clear in venue times. $130.00 for 2 tickets to see one of our favorite artists, $60.00 in gas from Richmond to VA Beach & back, 6 bottle waters at $4.00 each=24.00 (it was 92 degrees in October) and a babysitter for 6 hours-$40.00. OVER $250.00 for 2 parents to waste on a day that was supposed to be a getaway....NOT PRICELESS. DISGUSTING!!!!
Pros: nice facility
Cons: INACCURATE VENUE TIMES
