Farm Aid Tickets

I go to a lot of concerts (60+ in 2022, 2023 I'm at 40+) but this absolutely made it to #1 11 hours music and entertainment, great artist including a surprise. It was upbeat for at least 8 hours and I don't know how I was able to dance as much as I did. Everyone we saw was dancing, smiling, having a great time. Homegrown food was amazing, information was interesting and decorated so nicely. The Irsay exhibition was fun. Some lines could have had more guided waiting lanes (like merch) because it was hard to find a way through all these people, BUT it was a fantastic, epic day from start till end. Great job staff & volunteers and everyone involved. I will put Farm Aid on our yearly wish list from now on, although I'm a Ruoff Music Center Fan.

We got to see tons of people that aren't going to be around forever and these guys are classics and still totally putting on awesome shows! Dave, Willie, John and Neil.....forever loving you guys!

Live Nation sucks and we need to boycot these prices and policies!!

The musical acts were top-notch, and I really enjoyed the festival area and farm-to-table food options. My only complaint was that the lawn area seemed to be oversold. There were probably a few hundred people who were forced to stand against the back fence because there was literally no more room on the grass.

What a joyful and wonderful day filled with music, food, and learning. It was wonderful seeing and hearing from local farmers. The workshops were great for those interested in learning more about farming practices and it was nice having more food options (even though the prices were VERY high!). All of the performers were great - from Mellencamp to Margo Price to Willie Nelson - it was great entertainment! The one negative was the Jim Irsay band - he had no business performing and it was INSANE that he got a prime time to perform. I have never seen so many people rush to the RR or to get food during a performance. It would have been funny if it wasn't so sad. I guess money can buy you anything. Neil Young's performance seemed much shorter than others, but he sounded amazing. A great night for a great cause!

So f-ing good!! 12 hours of music, so much love and support for farmers!! The surprise Bob Dylan set really added to it all too! Seeing Willie with his sons was so heartwarming.

Five stars for the artists. Two stars for the overall experience. Ruoff needs to stop overselling tickets. Second show there this summer, and I will not be back for a sold out show. If ever. The insanely crowded lawn area spills over onto walkways making it very difficult to navigate thru the venue and find a spot to land, unless you are able to arrive super early (that is not realistic for everyone). Concessions area was a nightmare, just to walk thru, let alone stand in impossibly long lines. I appreciated the locally sourced food options, but just too hard to get a meal without being squished like sardines in long lines, and missing some of the music. The crowded conditions take so much enjoyment away from the experience and the amazing performances, even if you have reserved seats. Farm Aid, of all music events, should be easier for older people, individuals health issues, and families. It is uncomfortable and unsafe. Ruoff either needs to sell fewer tickets, or Farm Aid needs to find a much bigger space.

First timer here for going to Farm Aid, and let me tell you it didn't disappoint! Spectacular performances, and amazing surprise guest, couldn't imagine anything more. Local food vendors, farm fresh foods! Such an amazing experience to be apart of!

Food drinks music people what more could you ask for ! People hoping to help out other people they don’t even know !! It’s America that’s what we do.

When a show is acoustic, you need to boost the sound. The Sound Engineer obviously forgot to turn up the sound in the Lawn. Couldn't hear a word of Mellencamp, Neil Young, or Willie.

Another example of Ticketmaster overselling seats to the venue. There was literally nowhere to sit or stand in the lawn. It made the concert miserable. It was additionally unsafe to have that many patrons in a spot that was over capacity. Had there been a safety event, egress would have been impossible for occupants. I should have saved my money and watched the live stream on YouTube.

I loved the entertainment line up! The change over was quick and not a long wait between entertainers. Very powerful speeches made by Allison Russell, Margo Price, John Mellencamp and Willie Nelson. I’ve waited a lifetime to see Wille Nelson and I finally can check this off my bucket list. Can I just say WOW!! His sons Lukas and Micah are amazing musicians and singers as well!! Lukas is easy on the eyes too! 💜 The concert and entertainment was all I expected and more!!!! My only issues were prices of food, drinks, and merchandise. I understand merchandise was being sold as part of the charitable event but $40-45 for a T-shirt is a bit much. The food vendors must have intended on getting rich… $30 for a hamburger, FF, & drink. Same price 2 for chicken in a sticks. $10 for a sweet potato the size of a baseball that had maybe a 1/2 oz of brisket, brown sugar, 4 strands of shredded cheese, and bbq sauce. All 5 bites were super delicious but the price for the amount was ridiculous. Thank goodness, I had snacks packed!!

We ended up not being able to attend and could not find a refund option ahead of time. Very disappointed about missing the even and even more that I had to still pay for it!

Legends performing like legends. This was a bucket list type of event.

I had a great day!! Id like to sign up to volunteer. Willy and family are so down home and gracious. Not enough stands with soft drinks. Overall great venue!!!

Stated venue capacity is 20,000. I understand the crowd was estimated at 80,000. Ridiculously overcrowded, which made everything less enjoyable.

I have never been in a crowd where everyone was so kind. No pushing, no shoving, no aggressiveness of any sort. It was a sold out show. It was amazing!!

Excellent line up and lots of fun farm activities. Great food too!

What a great day! Fantastic music and great food and a lot of local farmers and other people involved. I really enjoy the experience and look forward to doing it again!

Loved the educational opportunities to make our food and food supply sustainable. Loved the local food vendors and their real-food offerings. And the performers! It was a fantastic experience
