Farm Aid Tickets

Great performers, beautiful venue and supporting a much needed and worthwhile cause.

Love the music but there really needs to be some faster tempo to the music. 4 musicians over 72 is just a slow pace. Other musicians are also slow tempo. Fun day but the line up needs a shake up. Coming from a 57 y/o

What a treat to have such iconic talent come to Saratoga springs! Great show for a great charity!

I thought the skills tent was awesome all around, great for farmers and concert goers. The music was excellent this year.

SPAC did an amazing job running this year's Farm Aid concert. All the bands were top notch and the venue and staff were amazing. Great show!

Great, well organized and great artists . Venue is great for the community and audience

A few suggestions: more water stations, limit the number of people on the “lawn” by not allowing people with “chairs” ie: new arrivals, after it is full. There was virtually no path between people to get out of the area by 5 pm. Also, add salt and pepper to the condiment table.

Farm aid was a great day of listening and dancing to a variety of musical performances. My only complaints have to do with the exorbitant prices being charged for drinks and food. $7 waters, $20 beers? Come on! I don't begrudge some profit making, but if you're going to prohibit concertgoers from bringing in the own drinks, at least make prices affordable for the average person.

The artists were great- especially Neil Young, Willie Nelson, and guest performers. The sound was very good even all the way in the back lawn. I could not see the performers with my own eyes- even though the camera work and screen displays were of excellent quality! We bought tickets for the lawn and could not even find a place to sit or barely stand without bumping into someone else. The place was waaay too crowded I couldn’t move my elbow without bumping someone- even as far back as we could get. Finally, for a Farm-Aid concert and the message about respecting the Earth- the entire lawn was trashed with garbage. People just walking through garbage unnecessarily. There were plenty of trash/recycle/compost receptacles! It was really pathetic and a sad omen for humanity. #notgoingbacktoSPAC unless Saratoga Performing Arts Center can improve.

The only reason I'm ok with paying $100+ for lawn seats (nose bleed section) is because this events revenue goes to the US farmers. Can't see the stage from lawn seats so you look up at the video feed on big monitors. The sound was not top level quality, could be different acoustics for those sitting closer to the stage area. Other than that, mostly good people and mostly good vibes.

Well-managed event, full of legendary acts and quality newcomers, was impressive, especially how quickly the stage was changed over between acts. The locally sourced food items were significantly better than the usual concert venue/sporting event options.

The music was awesome but the venue was so crowded. The lines did move along but Shoulder to shoulder people, felt very unsafe. There would be no where to go in case of an emergency without trampling people. We had lawn seats and every time we got to use the bathrooms, get food, etc. people moved in on our space. You do want us to spend money on other things and leave our seats, right? While it is a great cause, you could be a bit more respectful of people who actually stay the entire time.

This was our first time coming. We drove 5 hours coming from Canada. The prices for food & drinks was NUTS ! $28 for a beer & $9.80 for a bottle of water ! ( our CAN dollar was 1.40 ) People were really nice & we really enjoyed the line up. More bathrooms needed & shuttles to get people to & from their cars.

Good thing the Fire Marshall was backstage getting high with Willie. Otherwise, he would have closed the place down. No way everyone gets out alive in the event of a fire or a panic episode where patrons are trampled to death. $7 for water and $20 for a can of beer would make Warren Buffet blush. inflation is alive and well at LIVE NATION.

There was confusion in the beginning on when the gates were opening which led to a long wait to get in. Good performances but no surprise crashes year. Willie, Mellencamp and Neil Young all had better performances this year compared to last. Dave and Tim set was great!

I forgot how terrible of a venue this actually is. You can’t see unless you have seats. There were so many people there that we were around the corner from the stage, and the sound was terrible. It was so hard to hear anything, and the screen was not great either. Would have been more enjoyable with better sound, but it’s all around a terrible venue.

Couldnt even install the chairs i rented fort 20$ because it was too crowded. Could also not see the clearly see the screens. John cougar couldnt sing half the time he was on stage and only played for 45 minutes.

From start to Willie Nelson finish it was a great day of music. Have to say Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds were fantastic -they make each other even better when they are together - ying and yang - live music at it's very best!

From the parking in the overflow area inside Saratoga State Park to the friendly patrons, great music and easy exit this proved to be even better than anticipated. All acts started and ended on time! That never happens at concerts 😍. Well organized but food and drinks prices are insane! So glad we ate and had a couple of drinks before entering.

We were very impressed how the different acts began and ended on the schedule. Willie Nelson is a national treasure. All the performers were very professional and kept to the message of the day.
