Neighborhood Awards Weekend Tickets

We arrived on Thursday and left Sunday morning so the review does not cover Sunday events. We all agreed that if we go again we will go Thursday to Monday. This was a ladies weekend event that I planned for me and 3 of my friends. The Hotel selections were great all within walking distance of the the action. Thursday's comedy show was hilarious. I recommend that for sure. We skipped the expo and White Party on Friday to explore Atlanta- we had a ball shopping and club hopping!! Saturday we did the expo, step show and awards, We tried to do other things but the lines were too long. The people directing you to various places had inaccurate info and it was just too crowded and confusing. The booths were too close together but they venders were nice. We purchased sorority stuff and hair products.It is worth it to check it out. Didn't enjoy the step show. Being in a sorority I expected something different...Junior was funny but the performers were lacking. The awards ceremony went to long but the performances were excellent and made it worth the cost and because of timing of activities with so much overlapping we could not see the blue carpet. I haven't decided if I would go back. It needs to be better organized.

Doug E is still the BOMB! He continues to rock the mic like no other. Salt & Pepper still got it going on! Those chicks looked amazing! The DJ between performers helped us remember all the ole school jams from back in the day. I spent most of the night on the dance floor.

I enjoyed the entire weekend of food, shopping and entertainment. The award show was the highlight. I loved BabyFace and Tyrese. The best part was the acknowledgment of those in the community making a difference. I loved it!!

Babyface killed it. Steve Harvey was hilarious as usual. It was a great night although it ran a little long.

I arrived at the Freedom Friday party around midnight due to my friend missing her flight from Austin TX. She arrived in Atlanta at 9:30p. By the time she got dressed and we arrived to the GA World Congress Center it was midnight. We told the party was at capacity and no longer allowing entry. I was confused because you could clearly see masses of people leaving the party. I appreciate that our tickets were refunded but highly disappointed that the party was over sold!

The shopping isles was too congested! A lot of unused space along the perimeter.

We really enjoyed the expo! Seen and met many influential individuals which is why I gave it a 4. Some events were a bit unorganized and space to attend events were limited. We purchased Freedom Friday tickets months in advance and was not permitted to enter. Not certain what happened but someone double sold tickets. We were not refunded our full amount that we paid and spent time organizing our trip specifically to attend this party to only be disappointed. This was our first time attending the Neighborhood Awards weekend, with the poor planning that we received we may not attend another one. Hopefully they will get it together.

It was good to see the community come together for the event. By the 2nd day, you had seen everything several times.

Please can it go back to Nevada.There is only so much expo to enjoy.After the first day its a bore

First time at the Neighborhood Awards and attended the expo on Friday. I really enjoyed the vendors and movie screenings. The vibe was vibrant and fun. I think there should be more food options and places to sit and eat on the expo floor.

I had a great time. Nephew Tommy was hilarious. Steve Harvey was great! I will come back again but I would do some things differently. The gospel show was great too. The food choices were not that good and very expensive. Water and soda over priced. I will eat outside of the venues next time. But all of the entertainment was great. The white party could have been more of a party because we went into the same room as other functions where there were a lot of seats. No room for dancing.

OMG what a show! This was the best part of all the events. Steve is a fool but a good, entertaining fool. U just had to be there. I cried so hard & through out the award show. Babyface singing & song selection was a wonderful surprise. He stole the show. Usher did such a good job but a lot of ppl started leaving during his set because it was passed 12am. Steve had set rules for the winners but had to add more rules after ever winner acceptance speech. Per steve's request Tamela Mann started singing during a break. She sounded just like her CD. Sheryl Underwood had me on the flr laughing. That damn Tommy ain't right! U just shoulda been there! I truly like having 3 performers this yr doing a mini concert instead of 6 ppl doing 1 song apiece. The only bad thing is the award show ended around 12:45am which means it ran into the VIP party. The VIP party was 9pm until 2pm w/ Doug E Fresh & Salt/Pepa. I had tickets for the VIP party but didn't get a chance to go. Either Steve & 'em need to get better w/time management (that would be hard to do since a lot of the magic happen spontaneously ) or don't have the VIP party at all.

This was well worth the cost, the live morning show was the best thing that I have ever attended. Steve and the crew were great and not to mention the celebrity guest, we had no idea it was going to be like this, it was amazing. The Family Fued Show was just as amazing, I have always loved Family Fued but I can't watch another show without Steve being the host. The neighborhood awards weeked is the greatest. I never laughed so much in my life, I couldn't even talk the next day. This is a must attend event. I will attend again.

I have nothing to compare this awards ceremony to. If I decide to go again, I will have a better review. I enjoyed it but had to leave the venue at 12:30am during the Usher performance because it went so long and my group was hungry. The artist were terrific and Steve was extremely funny. The problem was just the fact that it started late. We had to wait outside in the heat (one woman passed out and had the have the perimedics called). There was some time during the ceremony that Steve had to do a time stretch filler. This event was supposed to start at 7:30 and end at 10 started after 8 then had various things in between that made it stretch longer and we left before it was over. I do not recommend going there on an empty stomach . I will say that if you can eat concession stand food in your nicer dress up clothes you will be OK. Value for the money is great because we had 4 major acts perform - Babyface, Tamela Mann( surprise), Tyrese, Usher as well as celebrity guest appearances.This is a sports arena and the seats were very close and tight. Felt weird and unbalanced to stand . Not exactly the greatest seats for the event. The view was decent and the sound was excellent and since we had to screens to watch you didn't miss any action on stage

After the first day, I did not go back. It wasn't anything there really worth buying or doing.

The show was awesome! Parking was easy and traffic was great. I can't wait til next year!

Steve Harvey was absolutely hilarious, and I never thought he was that funny watching him on TV. He's a great inspiration to young men and women, and older ones, too. The event is very organized and well put together. Only thing I didn't like was the seating at the awards show because I had tickets that were far away and high up, the place was a bit scary to climb and watch from that high. Also, the blue carpet should be a bit closer to the stars. Otherwise, it was great watching the morning show live with great performances, Family Feud was fun and the expo had great designers, there. The expo's should've had performances, too but they had celebrity row and it intervened with a couple of other things that I wanted to do. Great overall experience as far as the hotel, employees were nice and helpful, lots of staff. Wear comfortable shoes!!

The party was a bit disappointing. There were long lags between the acts. Jodeci was terrible--his lyrics were unintelligible and he appeared to be "out of it" Not at all what I expected.

The show itself was well organized, the performing talent was exceptional--especially Babyface, who was off the chain! The only daunting aspect was difficulty getting a taxi after the event was over due to poor communication between the venue and the city/taxicab companies.

The expo was affordable and fun. There was always something to do. I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
