Too expensive Lack of Class - cheap venue Late Start
This show was a lifetime event people where from all over the U.S. and other countries to see this event one lady on my side was from france with family to see this event. one family in my front row was from norway , everyone was very excited to see all these bollywood stars going live on stage, there performance was awesome...i feel proud to go and see this event live.
IIFA needs to respect time. They started at 9.45pm instead of 8 pm !! And why are there so so so many dances ?????????? It needs to keep the awards show tight and the talking shorter and less dances PLEASE!!!!! What's up with Antakshari ? Why are the hosts always coming down from the stage ? What's up with Dumb Charades ? Seriously ? Awards show should be about 2.5 hrs max !! People left the show long before it was over. IIFA has 15 yrs of experience, it didn't seem like that.
I loved the IIFA show but the stadium seating was very poor for the amount of money that was charged for each ticket !! The stage was so far out that 90% of the people were complaining about it.
The ticketmaster part was very poor. all the handicap area was blocked off.the event was not sold out but we could not move to the lower levels. please next time where ever yu have an event like this. please work with the fans.
Was a poorly organized program from start to finish.Started 2 hours late.Sound system not good.Bright light from stage shining on audience preventing us to see the stage.MC wasted time with poor irrelevant jokes.None of the organizers available to complain.
This was such a poorly managed and visualised event. Only the name bollywood was enough to get millons of people buy the tickets however there was nothing extraordinary that one would remember for life.. The show was all hype, no fun! There was 3 hrs delay, the hosts were unprepared, most of the times bored us to sleep. The show was more like a watching a flop movie on tv..poor management by wizcraft..these guys could not even get their AVs for nominations properly...waste of money for those sitting in back rows... Hope ppl who bought tickets for above usd 3000 could atleast get better visibilty of actors.
The ystarted show very late and finsihed at like 3:20 AM in the morning. It was complete disappointment and not worth spendign money. The host and emcees were very boring.
It started sooooo late. Way too many technical glitches. We had lights on our face. Couldn't hear anything at the back.
It was waste of time and money. After all it was like a cheating, it was not what we paid for, its like a couple $$ show. No timing, No renowned guest, worse comedy, host were bad talker. We did not want to pay more than couple of hundred for a ANITACHHARI.
Program as usual was great. Sad thing neither the organizers nor the stars have any respect for other peoples time. The event was supposed to start at 6.30 p but started at 10p, green carpet was supposed to start at 4.30 p but the great stars arrived at 9 p. Poor people tolerated all this in 90 degrees F hot sun. Even the food at the stadium was finished. Neither the organizers nor our great stars mention even one time how late it was or apologize
very poorly organized event. show was suppose to start at 6.30 pm and every most of the people were there by 5.30 pm lined up to get in. Doors did not opened till 8.15pm and standing in line for almost 3 hours at 87 degree was a nightmare. Could not find a bottle of water any where around the stadium. Finally went inside the air conditioned arena and every so thirsty and starved, jump into the food court to get hydrate and put some food in their stomach before the show. The show started at the time when it was suppose to end and most of the people were tired and exhausted but they stayed there because they wanted to get some thing in return for the huge price they paid to see the show. What a shame to IFFA and the organizer. Was my first time and most probably the last one.
The show met my expectation except the seats were far away from the stage.
The show was ok celebrity left before the show was over not enough big screen for other people to see it was a waste of money they failed to keep it organized!
The green carpet. Was to start from 4.30 to 6.30 pm None of the stars showed up during that time. Checking into the stadium was a nightmare, with everyone pushing. Time for checking in was 6.30 and we were allowed in at 8.00 pm Main event to start at 8.pm and it started at 10 pm. Event was to finish at 11 pm and was done at 3.00 am We were there for 10 hours with just fast food like popcorn and nachos for food. The performances by the stars was awesome. Wish they all had more consideration for other people's time After all the money we spent on this event.
once it started it was flawless , unfortunately started late , also at times it appeared that they were trying to kill time may be for stage preparation , but could have avoided hosts were great , would be nice to have some indian snacks
We got to the Green Carpet at 5:30 pm and hardly any stars showed up on time. We were not allowed inside the stadium until many people complained. Since it was hot, we had no option but to sit on the grass until then in our evening attire. The show which was supposed to start at 6:30 pm started at 9:30 pm!! We ended up watching the same ads on the screens over and over again. Instead they could have projected the stars walking the carpet to entertain us after all that heat. The hosts repeated sentences too much and copied Ellen's selfie idea from the Oscars! There were video glitches such as John Travolta receiving an award and leaving the stage and then his video clip being shown later. We have seen better events in tristate area. Graphics during performances were good.
I request a refund. This was very unorganized. No clear instruction as to what is going on etc. Program started at 10:15pm. We hardly watched the show, and we were getting tired. There was no consideration for the public. I cannot understand show started almost 4 hours late. I request please refund my ticket. I do not have a job, I spent all these money and was very disappointed. Thanks for your. Understanding.
Horribly organized, food was gone before the event even started Event was supposed to start at 8 - and end at 11 Instead started at 11 and ended at 4 am A lot of pushing and shoving at entry gate There was no order The hosts were horrible talked forever and took away time away from dances I asked for wheelchair and when got there they moved our seats And I had to run around 1 hour to find and get the new tickets
It started more than 2 hours late. If it starts late, they should try and see if they can condense it to make it enjoyable as well as finish it at a decent time. But no! It only ended at 3 am. For the price that everyone was made to pay for the event, it is a shame that many had to leave early before it ended. Also, the compering was filled with mistakes and goof ups. The audio was bad and many of the things could not be heard where we were sitting. If they want to charge people for the seats, then they should make sure that everyone enjoys it equally. It was a shame to India!
