    Absolutely Overrated ;(

    by Walter (Longueil) on 8/21/23

    I went two times, once to do a flight which was cancelled after 2 hours waiting, second time was to attend Les Cowboys Frignant after a heavy rain, crowdy place, bad sound quality. We felt disappointed about the experience, not recommended for 2024.

    Hello l’expérience client !

    by Mat Meroy on 8/20/23

    Honnêtement, la logistique d’accueil, de stationnement, d’entrée, etc…. Vous avez complètement oublié l’aspect expérience client et ça a dû affecter vos ventes de concession. Ça nous a pris 2h30 entrer sur le site. La signalisation et l’accès était vraiment mal géré. Honestly, you completely forgot the most important aspect which is consumer experience as it was the worst kind of guest welcoming experience. Logistics zero, organization zero, signage zero and employee knowledge zero. It probably reflected on your concession revenus and sales

    Show was great, but venue could be better organized

    by Dan on 8/20/23

    The site was really not prepared for such a big crowd. The lineup to get in was never-ending. Also there was very little staff to inform the crowd. Many people cut the main line not by their fault since there was no way to get information on the access. Once inside, forget about going to the toilet or getting a drink, would've waited an hour to get a beer. Finally, I was not parked at the venue, but my friend told me it took him one hour just to get out if the parking.

    Overpriced

    by Buddy on 8/20/23

    Way overpriced for the quality of the event. Muddy and very long walk from parking. Rides are way too expensive considering that the entry is already not cheap.

    Sound was terrible

    by Guy Rivard on 8/20/23

    The place was packed but the sound did not reach far enough. We left before the end.

    Great show... Too much people

    by Jess on 8/20/23

    Title sums it up. We arrived on site around 7pm because of traffic and front line but that was expected... After we waited over 1h45 for overprinced food we just abandonned the idea of getting drinks. Missed most of the first show because of that. Crowd was chatting loudly and not listenning so we'll pass for the ambiance. The main show was great.

    Unsatisfied

    by Rita on 8/15/23

    The manager stopped Bebe rexha before she finish her performance. Even Bebe rexah and the audience expressed than they want to continu under the rain just 2 songs to have the full experience. we didn't see the mongolfières because of the rain. So much disappointed at the end of the concert.

    Worst festival ever

    by Maria on 8/15/23

    I wanna start saying that even tho it was the worst festival in terms of entertainment, bathrooms we clean, food trucks were quick and parking was easy to evacuate. Saying all that I want to start saying I did not see one balloon. The whole day and afternoon were beautiful and there was no balling in a festival of balloons. It started raining around 5 and then balloons that were supposed to be up at 9pm were cancelled. The main artist Bebe, was cut out of stage in the middle of a song for us to evacuate because it was going to rain even harder. Although I understand it was because of safety reasons, we cannot take responsibility for the weather and we should be either reimbursed or given a ticket for another day so we can actually see a ballon show in a ballon festival!

    GET READY TO BE EXHAUSTED

    by tmani on 8/24/22Aéroport de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu - Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu

    In the airport, no trees around, at 31 degrees celcius, with 10 food trucks for at least 50 thousand people. There aren't enough banks, and if there are, they are all in the sun. Had to wait 2.5 hours for the worst nachos and popcorn I have ever eaten in my life. Get ready to be dehydrated and drained. Will never go to this festival ever again.

    Overcrowded

    by Sorsor on 8/24/22Aéroport de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu - Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu

    It was very nice. However it was way to overcrowded. Parking was chaotic. Not enough food trucks or stands. Major lineups for everything. Show was great but perhaps not age appropriate there were a lot of families with kids and there was quite a bit of swearing. Overall it was nice to have this event back just wish they were better prepared for the large crowd.

    Badly organized

    by Linda on 8/24/22Aéroport de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu - Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu

    Badly organized, took 2 hours to get food. When you know how many tickets are solde then you should prepare accordingly. Not a good experience

    Too many line ups

    by Julie on 8/24/22Aéroport de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu - Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu

    Too many line ups for food or even for water. With s hot day its unacceptable to amke people wait 45 min to refill their bottles of water. We left before the show because we were hungry and could not wait an hour to get some food.

    Overall one star experience

    by wano on 8/23/22Aéroport de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu - Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu

    No shade, missing some chairs, and benches. Waited for ice cream for 45 min, and pizza for 90 min. Waited in line for beer and discovered no more beer. Jason Derulo played late. Bought 14 tickets for amusement park ride, but most of the ride needs 4 tickets, should be 16 tickets selling. Closing around 11 pm, I couldn't use 6 tickets. Parking was too dark at night, so difficult to find the car, there are no parking numbers where I parked.

    Disappointed and would ask for reimbursement

    by Walid on 8/23/22Aéroport de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu - Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu

    All the event is over-rated and expensive for what it is... did not attended the second concert... The event is very poorly organized with huge waiting hours (queues) for everything: parrking, toilet, food, drinks etc. Will never go again...

    not good

    by gas on 8/23/22Aéroport de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu - Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu

    It is more a recital than a montgolfière festival. I saw only 2 montgolfières that where always there. I was in Porto Alegre Brazil and found it much more fun. I am not going again.

    Waiting lines horrible

    by Lyd on 8/23/22Aéroport de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu - Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu

    Hi No idea if occupation was higher than usual but the festival definitely needs more food and beverage stands. Came with two families and we didn't get a chance to fully enjoy the rides nor everything the festival has to offer because of the wait.

    Amazing

    by Karo1997 on 8/23/22Aéroport de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu - Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu

    The show was absolutely amazing ,I wish the security did something for the people who weren’t respecting the no chairs rule (in the no chairs area ) Beside that the night was absolutely incredible I had the best time !

    Badly organised

    by Brit in Montreal on 8/23/22Aéroport de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu - Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu

    Understaffed event. Not enough food and beverage places for the amount of people. Spent hours queuing for food and drinks rather than enjoying the event. Very hot humid day and seen so many people collapse. Needed more portable bathrooms and water fountains, cool down areas. Lack of information regarding entry. What is permitted/not permitted eg bring your own food and drink. Chairs, cool boxes etc Act came on stage over half an hour late this is disappointing after waiting all day especially as advertised as a family event. This was a shame as it’s a great setting and the hot air balloons were a stunning backdrop.
