The traffic was absolutely AWFUL! The interstate was backed up all the way from the Westfair exit in Iowa to 84th Street in Omaha on I-80 due to an accident (which isn't anyone's fault), but the alternate route (Broadway St in CB) was backed up for nearly an hour and a half. It took about two hours to get to Westfair when all said and done due to the traffic.
Once we got to Westfair I thought it was odd that there wasn't anyone scanning tickets (they were just throwing them in a bin). So, really anyone could have printed off several tickets from just one purchase and came in with several friends who didn't pay.
Then the line to get wristband for alcohol was ridiculous. I think there should have been more than one tent for wristbands. Then the fact that the beer tent was located directly in the middle of the arena didn't seem logical to me. I think have several tents dispersed throughout the arena would've made the center of the arena more manageable to get through. I felt as if there were WAY too many people for the size of that arena. It was definitely oversold.
As far as the concert is concerned, I thought the first two artists were great. Didn't get to see much of them though because of the chaos of getting into the arena, getting wristbands and then beer. Once Florida Georgia Line came on I was actually highly disappointed. The music they play on the radio seemed much different than the way they were playing/singing. They seemed as if they were going for the R&B type when this was supposed to be a country concert.
I like R&B, but when I'm going to a country concert that is put on by our #1 local country music station, I expect to hear country music. It was just disappointing that the festival wasn't at all what I expected it to be. It was way too crowded, the processes were not thought out correctly, and the music wasn't great.
