VIP issues

ARMIN VAN BUUREN IN CONCERT:
EDM fans have spoken, and veteran Dutch DJ Armin Van Buuren is their king. As one of the most popular trance DJs in the world, Van Buuren has topped DJ Magazine's fan poll a record five times, virtually dominating dance music with his unprecedented run at the top of the list from 2007-2010. Following the 2013 release of his fifth album Intense, Van Buuren is once again entrancing fans around the world with his prismatic live shows on the 2014 Armen Only: Intense tour.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Born in Leiden, Netherlands, Armin Van Buuren began DJing while at university, eventually putting his law degree on hold to pursue music full time. He made his first UK chart appearance at just 19 with "Blue Fear," climbing the charts again several years later with "Communication." By 2001, Van Buuren's marathon sets had earned him a spot on DJ Magazine's Top-100 list, setting the stage for the launch of his hugely popular State of Trance radio show. While his skills as a producer were highlighted on his 2003 full-length debut 76, it was 2008's Imagine that really broke the mold â the album peaked at No. 1 in the Netherlands, a first for a dance music artist in Dutch music history.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"The show was incredible! For any trance fan, Armin's Intense tour is a must see."
"Armin Van Buuren was amazing! The light and laser show was fantastic!"
"Was incredible... Maybe the best concert I've ever been to... Now I really know why he's been ranked the #1 DJ in the world for the past 4 out of 5 years."

Management and sound quality was terrible for a big Dj like Armin Disappointed
I missed the October show before the shutdown, then Philly due to flights, and Miami's Ultra festival didn't work in my schedule but this was planned perfectly and what an amazing experience in SoCal So yes, it was much anticipated and a long time coming. The biggest names with the latest sets and a couple throwbacks, I'm ready to go to the next one already haha
The experience was amazing but ARMIN play only 1 hour and 30 minutes I really love if he play at least 2 hours but otherwise everything was incredible đđŒđ§đŻ
Love the way the event was set up, food and drink options and most importantly the DJâs that played.
No way down to the floor unless you had wristbands even though the floor was kind of empty all the events I have been in the past everyone goes anywhere no matter what kind of takeout they have left they have like a VIP or something
Awesome from beginning to the end!! The sound inside the stadium is amazing
What an incredible show! Security and logisitics went very smoothly and getting inside was very easy. The show itself and production was great, though I feel like the stadium itself could have let the event production use stadium screens so those in the back could better see the DJs. The pit had PLENTY of room to dance which was a nice relief though the entrance and exit to the pit could have been better laid out. I'm not sure if anyone from USC was even there besides the security because by the end of the night, the men's bathrooms were straight out of a horror movie. For such a short event, the prices of water and drinks were pretty outrageous and rivaled only festival prices (where there are actually 3 full days of music!). Again, Armin was incredible and I have nothing but good things to say about the performances.
Armin put on a decent show but there was nothing new. The energy seemed somewhat flat as the venue was only half full.
i like it here after Memorial Sport Arena Stadium remodeled & had new name Banc Stadium .Easy to find parking lot & safety. Sound system good. Everything excellent. Thankyou
I liked it but it could of been with a better line up like boris brejha or tiesto or even alan walker david guetta would of made it alot more exiting and fun to watch
Extremely disappointed. Arrived at 7 and there was no energy in the stadium. At first I thought it was just me and my friend but we looked around and virtually no one in the seats were dancing or even standing. Through the whole night, almost everyone in the seats remained seated. When Armin came on, I thought he'd bring the crowd up. But no, it only got worse. We ended cutting our losses and left at 10:15.
Armin came soooooo late!!! To the point that we were tiered already and by the time he came we wanted to leave. Not much tickets sold and stadium looked empty I know this is nobodyâs fault but they shouldnât choose banc of California for this show.
The venue was terrific for this intimate experience with multiple DJs.
Amazing show which was enhanced by the venues beauty and easy to navigate layout.
I went looking for nachos. There was a stand called "South End Nachos." They were only selling alcohol. They didnt not sell any nachos in the entire arena. The bathrooms ran out of toilet paper and toulet seat covers early on. Otherwise, the facilities are very clean.
Checking in was easy with the mobile tickets. Would have been very helpful to know that I didnt need to bring a clear backpack for my things. That it would have been okay to have a phanny pack like I normally take to a festival. I did not appreciate having to walk all the way around just to get back into VIP. I was however very impressed that there was staff to bring water and beer into the VIP area to sell. Wish they would do that at other venues. There was a short lived incident towards the end of the night that I thought security could have handled quicker so that it wouldn't have continued to be a disturbance. But over all, Thank you to everyone there (security, staff) that were very professional and helpful.
The concert was great, but I was really upset about not being able to buy a ticket to the dance floor or update mine for it. The field was half empty, yet the tickets all sold out. Very disappointing. What's the point of sitting down at an EDM concert? Palladium was waaaayyyyyy better.
Things could've been better, like why can't the stadium just let us through for field level if we get field level, also like why did it have to end early and the entrance sucks, like i took a small clutch and they wouldn't let me in with that.
