Live 105's Subsonic Halloween Spookfest Tickets

Being very positive about spookfest this year from last year's infamous choice of making empire of the sun as headliner, I am yet to be pleased with the choices with the line up order. Why would you put Duke Dumont and Chromeo right after each other during the peak of the night? I think it was the biggest buzz kill of the whole event. 3 hours of chill music which were having guests cheering for Chromeo to stop playing. Although the massive mess up in the order Henry Fong, Gareth Emery, and Alesso were amazing, but they couldn't get bad taste from the middle of the night out . Too bad me and my friends (group of 12) are for sure not going to take the chance to go to next years Spookfest now. I know why it went from 20,000 to 6,000 attendance. Planing to go day of the dead or jack yo lantern next year. Very disappointed for two years and a row. I wouldn't be surprised if there was less people attending next year. Bottom line, Don't waste your money and time with this event I already have.

I got around the show around 6:30 so I missed a couple of acts. The entire show was amazing. The only thing that was a little off to me was the security. People were easily jumping the barricade and sitting in the closer seats. But overall the show was just amazing with no issues! Definitely would come back again next year.

I had a lot of fun. I was surprised by how little people went this year. I thought they organized all the seating very well because the floor entrance was completely separate from the rest of the seating so people could not sneak on. I don't know if people just didn't show up but the floor was only about half full even though it was supposed to be sold out. So it wasn't too crowded, the air conditioning was amazing, and the free water stations were fantastic and safe. I loved the sets and the lights and there were really good lasers! The only bad thing was that the bass was broken for Alesso's set. Overall I had a great time and I hope more people go next time.

The event space was large enough to accommodate the amount of attendees. I did not like that the floor level was a separate price and was not accessible without having purchased floor level tickets. This was the first event that I had attended that I was forced to stay in the seats area. My husband and I were okay with it for this event because there wasn't anyone big that we were there to see and wanted to get close to the front for, but it was still uncomfortable to not be able to move around and join the dance floor.

It gets worse every single year. Don't waste your money

This rave was horrible. The lag between each sets was unusually delayed, the artists that were here seemed extremely amateur. Gareth Emery and Alesso Saved the show, but it wasn't enough. Maybe coming from bigger raves I had bigger expectations for this, but the fact that 2 hours into the show not even the floor was half way filled is unacceptable. I paid 45$ for the upper floor and they couldn't sell enough ticket so they upgraded us to the lower level. Since they couldn't sell tickets, they sold them for 25$ the week before the show. I would not recommend. Also, light setting was bland and not amusing besides during Alesso's set. Don't waste your money.

Pros: -Sebastian Ingrosso & A Trak were sick Cons: -Security was horrible. -Crowded -Set timing was horrible. -Event time starting at 6pm -Empire of the Sun should have not closed the event out. -Last hour and a half of the event killed the majority of everybody's mood from my point of view.

I have never attended an event so poorly managed as Spookfest. The security line to get on the _grounds_ took nearly an hour to get through. Once inside, the main entrance to the floor had been closed because it was overcrowded, so we had to take a long, one-way route to the club level to come down to the floor by stairs. At this level, we learned wristbands were supposed to have been handed out at the floor entrance (which we didn't get), and no fewer than 6 staff members blew us off in trying to get them. By the time it was all sorted out, we had wasted nearly two hours between parking our car and actually getting to the floor. The only reason this wasn't 1 star was because Sebastian Ingrosso delivered a great performance, and despite the venue's best efforts, we didn't miss it.

They stopped selling alcohol at 11:30pm, which was really lame since the show ends at 1:30am. Empire of the Sun probably wasn't a good closer for the event. Also had too many long breaks in between sets.

Great night. I only went for Empire of The Sun. They were amazing. The Oakland Arena acoustics seemed a little off, but nonetheless it was a great night. The show started at 6pm but the line was about 2 hours long to get in, so either arrive super early or show up closer to 10pm when there is no line. Show was over at about 1AM. We thought we had general floor admission tickets, but instead it was seats. That was odd...so we somehow ended up on the ground floor right in front of stage. ;)

After waiting an hour to get in. Then having to wait another half hour because my friend had lipstick. Something that is apparently not allowed in the arena. We missed most of the band we wanted to see. Had to buy a $14 dollar beer. But couldn't get a second because they stopped selling booze around 11:00pm. Saw a bunch of passed out girls getting hauled off on a cart because water was to expensive. It was an all around awkward experience. Then some whiner loser threatened to cancel the show. Because people were not sitting in their assigned seats. They left the lights on with no music for 20 minutes. It's a freaking EDM show. People like to dance around. It was an overall poorly run event. I will never go again.

Only problem w oracle arena is that they are very controlling on who is allowed in open area for general admission. Big events like that need a bigger space so it's fair for everyone to roam around the entire event. But other than that it was a great show.

This years line up was incredible which is why my friends and I went! The performers did not disappoint. We splurged on a party bus from SF to Oakland only to arrive at 8:30 and wait TWO HOURS to get inside. TWO HOURS. I missed almost two entire performances - A Trak and Nervo who I wanted to see. I feel cheated out of my money. On top of that the security guards were rude and aggressive. Three people checking security for the entire arena, really!? I've been to other events at Oracle that were much more organized. The two hour wait was a buzz kill for an otherwise fun evening.

Wow was the ball dropped at this concert. First took over 1 hour to get in. I know its edm and the staff have to search you but only 3 people checking id, 6 people to search you, then 6 people to scan your ticket and 3 people giving you a wrist band for dance floor. way too long and way too many not needed people. then half way during the concert they wouldnt let people who went to the bathroom and get water back on the floor. You had to go all the way back upstairs and come back down. water is kind of critical at edm. Then they stop letting people on the dance floor around 11. Live 105 charged more for floor tickets so how can you hit max capacity unless you over sold tickets. shoot the upper deck was 70% empty. If you let all the wrist band people get water and bathroom without going all the way around you would have been able to slow the amount of people trying to storm down the stairs. then 1 dj turned on the lights due to people jumping onto dance floor and then 30 pause to set up for empire of the sun. couldnt you put up a DJ during the 30 min delay

This event was so poorly organized. I went the year before and it was a lot better. I felt like the organizers didn't put an effort into it, and my entire group of friends (and everyone else around me) seemed bored. Besides from one main headliner, I felt like all the other artists were fairly boring. We stood there wanting the show to just end. Hopefully they come up with something better next year because I was pretty much turned off this time around.

Lights were amazing! Didn't have to be close to have a good time. Yes they search you by patting down. Music was more then loud enough. It was a bit tight on seating that they had to close out the floor from letting people through since it was so packed. But overall had a great time. I wish benny benassi played a bit later though. I missed most of his part of the show. People are all nice but some can get careless with how they behave like by peeing ina bottle and spilling it all over the floor -_- so just be cautious not everyones aware of what they're doing.

Very organize but drinks inside are insanely expensive

It was an awesome show first time I saw all the DJ's live and it was amazing. The acrobats and the people doing the tricks with fire was amazing I loved it great show I had a blast only disappointment is they didn't sell water after the show like nobody has cotton mouth lol

First off - the performances were awesome. Definitely would go back just for that. But a few negatives off set it 1. The tickets said the event went from 8pm-2am, but the day before when the set times were released, the first one started at 7 2. Wayyyy too many people. I went to an event at this same venue a few months prior and there were 13,000 in comparison to the 15,000 and it was so much better and less crowded 3. Because of the large crowds,security began setting barricades. I understand not wanting to let people come down from the stands onto the overcrowded dance floor, but when I need water or have to go to the bathroom or am feeling anxiety from the large crowd, it is horrific to find out I can not leave (I did find my way out by jumping a barricade thankfully) Main suggestion: sell fewer tickets

Amazing lineup and lights - love the occasional spray of cool air into the dehydrated and sweaty audience
