99.5 WYCD Hoedown Tickets

The stage was just not set up well for the musicians to really interact with the crowd. We had general admission tickets and didn't realize there was a section of seats in front of general admission. Kind of shitty but it is what it is. I like to go to concerts (especially outdoors and/or all day events) to be close enough to see the artist and be part of the crowd they interact with. I highly doubt I'll go back to this event next year. If I do I'll spend most of my time at the other 2 smaller stages where I can actually interact with the music and those playing it.....which honestly is just as fun and not a bad price.

Had a great weekend with great friends. I like the new venue area.

Although it was a bit messy on Friday night. We had a great time. One suggestion would be to have the porta potties at both ends of the venue...the crowds and mud made it tough to go all the way down to the other end. Same with the food...maybe a hotdog vendor a little closer?? Drink were crazy expensive....even more than Ford Field and Comerica Park !! $10.00 for a beer after paying $60.00 for tickets to a once free event, was high. All the bands we saw were terrific. Eli Young band was the only one that sounded like the sound system was a bit hairy. Something was off. Rascal Flatts and Darius Rucker were fantastic.

The hoedown was an incredible experience! I made 2 new friends. The music was great! I can check off attend a Rascal Flatts concert off my bucket list now!

Hoedown was great this year! the venue was easy to access with plenty of parking and the lineup was outstanding. Darius Rucker was my favorite along with Brett Eldredge! The only bad part about this set-up and why I gave it 4 stars was the bathrooms… there was only one area of bathrooms which was by the food on the other side from the stage, if there was more bathrooms, I would of given it 5 stars.

This was an awesome event and we all had a great time.

Location was horrid. Hated it this year. This is my 4th hoedown and I didn't enjoy it. Wouldn't go next year unless they had someone performing that was too good to refuse. MOVE IT BACK TO COMMERICA

I'm not a diehard country fan, but I was blown away. Great people and great music

Amazing time and great weather We got to ride in ram trucks n got to go in the pit which was pretty cool

Great venue, nice to actually use Detroits waterfront. Sound was great. Food lines way too long.

Venue was ok, I wish you could have brought chairs in. The sound was a challenge because of the wind. Overall for the money it was good

We had a GREAT time on Saturday, Friday was cold, wet, and muddy, but still a good time the reserved seats were kinda a disapointment, if you could not afford them then you were on the side of the stage,

The 2014 Detroit Hoedown was absolutely fantastic! Chris Young, Chase Rice, Jon Pardi, Dierks Bentley, Josh Thompson, Big & Rich and The Band Perry all sounded awesome and put on great performances for us. And, the weather was perfect all weekend!!

Music was awesome! Had a great time listening to music but had a horrible time with the lack of seating and transportation. My daughter has MS and has good and bad days. Heat makes the symptoms worse and it was hot! So she was already having a hard time walking/standing. There was no shuttle between the parking and the venue and almost no place to sit down once you got into the venue. We had to leave early the first day because she couldn't make it any longer. On day 2 security refused to let her bring in her fold up chair on (we thought that it would be OK because it wasn't listed on "items to not bring" and she had a special circumstance, but, nope, not allowed)--which I understand, to some extent, but if you aren't going to provide adequate seating, you should let people bring their own... Since there was no place available near the bands to sit down without risking getting stepped on, she spent the entire 2nd and 3rd days of the event hanging on to the railing around the handicapped area (which she didn't "qualify" for--she only has a card to indicate her diagnosis, not a driving placard, because she doesn't drive when the symptoms are bad) and had to practically be carried back to the car. Unfortunately, because she was so worn out, she ended up missing the headliners on every night. She did love the bands/singers she did get to see and would like to go again next year--hopefully by then there will be a better set up to get to and from the car and more places for everyone to be able to sit. Overall a great time.

Thank you WYCD for putting on another great Hoedown. Thank you for spotlighting local bands and artists inside Comerica. We especially loved Bullwhip. They put on a spectacular show. We hope they are back next year.

Forget the acts. This was the worst event I have been to in a long time. Two major complaints are no liquor (unless you call that disgusting moonshine liquor) and it is unbelievable to me that after paying to get in you cannot leave and come back in without buying another ticket. First and last time you will ever see me there.

Loved Big and Rich they were great! They always pump up a crowd with their craziness.

I have been attending the Downtown Hoedown for many years...WHY did it move out of Hart Plaza??? Entertainment was great as usual, but I have no interest in going back to Comercia for this event. The fun of the free event at Hart Plaza was introducing non-country listeners to our beloved country music. Keep baseball at the park and charge a ridiculous ticket price...put the Hoedown back at Hart Plaza please!!

Everything was great. The only part I wasn't really happy with was having to wait in a line to get back in the pit. It felt like a punishment for having to use the rest room and/or getting something to eat if I was hungry.

Great event. Super organized. Clean. The police officers on duty were respectful and on point. Wish there were more food vendors/options. Other than that, it was great!
