Yet another great experience. However, we that paid for general admission were not granted all access that were promised, especially to the main dance floor. Paid $100 and was only able to stay in the area that people paid way less for. The securities were ridiculously, poorly organized and they would constantly misinform the attendees.
The music was great and it was cool that they allowed LED light gloves and such, but the floor got packed too quickly and most people got stuck in the seats.
Event was amazing. Above and beyond was incredible. Great crowd. Staff did a good job too
Gutted I never made the POPNYE Due to family health reasons I spent NYE closer to home
I purchased two tickets, one for me and one for a friend. Got my ticket scanned and I was in the doors. My friend got his ticket scanned and they told him that the ticket had already been used by someone else. The lady was nice enough to still let him in.
Incredible experience and the energy was amazing- lighting and all the acts took us on an incredible journey!!
Amazing sound and visuals from the floor and the balconies. Clean bathrooms, plenty of space to dance even on upper level. Event staff readily available to help those in need.
All of the artists performed incredible sets. The live vocalists added another good element to the mix. My only issue is the price of the drinks ($13 for a beer?!) and that the dance floor was relatively empty and security would not let people on any longer.
The line up was great, and the artists did not disappoint. However, I was surprised when the staff closed off the bottom bowl to people who bought tickets to the bottom bowl, such as myself. Should I have known this I would have not spent the extra 50 dollars and saved the money and bough upper level tickets, where I spent the majority of the show. If you go to another skills event, wait until the last minuet to buy tickets to the upper level. You'll save more money.
I've been to several "DJ events" like POPNYE over the last three years, and POPNYE was, without question, the best one thus far. Dash Berlin's set was my favorite that night.
This event was absolutely perfect. If you got there on time, you had no trouble getting on the floor but they understandably had to close down the floor for safety reasons once it reached capacity. They did let people know beforehand that this would happen, so if people still showed up late and couldn't get on to the floor, it was their own fault. Dyloot was a great opener as people filed into the stadium. His light show was very bright, almost to the point of discomfort (stage left front spotlight right below the DJ table was pointed directly at eye level and was blinding people on the floor to the point where it ruined your night eyes and you really couldn't see anything). Then W & W came on stage and KILLED it. W & W will only continue to get bigger once "Lift Off" and their "Waiting" and "Silence" remixes inevitably become standards in any trance set. If you have an opportunity to see them, do it. You will not be disappointed. Above and Beyond also melted faces. They even let a girl come up on stage to push the button for the drop on 'Sun & Moon' for her birthday (she brought a sign asking if she could and they obliged). They had great production, awesome video visuals as well as a sick light show. Betsie Larkin came out for about 10 minutes before Andy Moor v. Lange came out, and this was pretty much the intermission. Everyone on the floor filed to the back where the food, alcohol, water, and bathrooms were. It was nearly impossible to move, and eventually security started yelling at people and bringing down the vibe. As much as it brought down the vibe, it was necessary as it was just bottlenecked and no one could go anywhere. Dash Berlin came out at 11 and everything was just absolutely perfect from this point on. The production had a great countdown and the light show, visuals, and music were the perfect way to bring in the New Year. He also kept running around the stage pumping up the crowd and giving out t-shirts and signed records. Also, during his set, dancers started throwing out those LED foam sticks until probably 60% of the crowd had them. That was absolutely incredible, and really brought the crowd and the DJ together. Ferry Corsten started playing right at 1230 and brought the roof down. He really knows how to throw a party. Betsie Larkin came out to sing her and Ferry's two most popular songs, and the acoustics were awesome, the sound levels were great, and her voice was beautiful. This is how trance is supposed to be, and it was a moment of pure trance that must be experienced to be understood. Overall, this was a perfect production. I would highly HIGHLY recommend attending POPNYE next year, 2013/2014, as it is the best way to start a positive new year with an entire stadium of friends.
It was amazing! The line up was great and the music was amazing. Usually there is one artist that blows but not this time. Just truly amazing show!
Tickets were received in email and printed out with no inconvenience! Event was perfect for a new year's celebration and I was very satisfied with my overall experience with ticketmaster and the concert. I will not hesitate to go again next year!
If I pay for something, I expect to get it. This was new years and I was separated from my friends because they "sold too many tickets for floor level" There were hundreds of people not let down, this is unprofessional and a waste of my money. Skills events is the worst, pull it together.
Lineups were great. The only downside was that they ran out of bottle waters at 12am
I'm a big fan of skills but I think they really blew it this time. When I bought my ticket it was not clear that they were overselling the capacity of the floor. When I arrived at 7 the floor was at capacity. Soon after they blocked access to our lower level of seating which prevented us from going to the bathroom or getting drinks. When I go to an event like this I like to know what I'm getting. If they where clear ahead of time our group of 7 would probably not have come. (However if they had guaranteed floor access we would have happily paid more) Also, A&B with an early set didn't help the progression of the night.
Bought general admission tickets and was not given the advantages a general admission ticket holder possesses. Was only allowed in seating area and never on the dance floor regardless of how much space there was in the dance floor. Very dissapointed with this event. The customer service at Oracle was horrible! They were not cooperative at all!! If I knew I wouldn't be allowed into the dance floor even with general admission tickets I would have just bought upper level tickets and save my money. I feel I was ripped off!
Though very crowded, it was extremely fun! The only problem was having little room to dance IMO, that's because I didn't get floor tickets ):
Me and all of my friends paid the extra money to buy General Admission tickets to make sure that we would all be able to party together on the main dance floor. Everyone was given the same type of wristband upon entry and the lower floor was flooded with people who obviously did not buy general admission tickets considering how quickly they had originally sold out. Out of nearly 50 people only 3 of my friends were actually on the lower level with me..we had planned to all spend the new year having an amazing time together dancing but weren't able to due to poor organization of the event. Not to mention the money wasted.
