ROCKFEST 80'S Tickets

Only have this to say. VIP not worth the $$$$$. The VIP area where you were underneath an overhang was about 1/2 mile from stage. Some of the bands cancelled which sucked. the stage setup was wayyyy to big for this event.

Sunday wasn’t that good except for Great white, Lita Ford. Everyone else was 70’s. It’s was 80’s Rockfest. We ended up leaving. So that wa disappointing

Terrible overall experience! Line up kept changing as well as schedule. Drinks were way too pricey. Food choices were few and pricey. Parking fee of $20 was ridiculous. We had 2 day tichets and only stayed for 1 hour on Saturday because it was so awful. Will never return!

Event music was great. Thank you for bringing Rock Legends to South Florida. Recommend wristbands so that reentry is allowed. Ten hours is a long time without a break.

We had a great time! Good music and everyone was very friendly. Hope to do it again next year! The food was good too. We were able to get Baked potato and fried rice and did not have to settle for burgers and hot dogs.

They never turned up and there was no announcement about them

Wish Skynard had played.. But it was an amazing 2 day concert anyway. I'll be back next year. Not a large crowd especially considering the amazing line ups.. Needed a little more hype, as many people I know that would have attended didn't know anything about it.. Keep on keepin on.. Great Show..

FYI Just wanted to express mine, along with a group of friends that attended the 2 day ROCKFEST 80's show. Saturday was not busy at all, food vendors were few. No hot dogs, burgers, pizza, ice cream. Just turkey legs, Chinese, grilled corn on the cobb, funky seafood and jerk food. Why did you not have FOOD TRUCKS lined up? Car Show was good but not enough lighting during the evening hours. You cannot see the cars at night if you do not provide proper lighting. Bands cancelled due to missed flights and other excuses. NO Quiet Ride, NO Lynyrd Skynard!!! It was a joke. Saturday was so disappointing .... did not even attend Sunday. Waste of money overall. Levy organization should take some lessons from the Chili Cook Off venue. They know how to put on an event, terrific food with awesome entertainment.

It was empty, Quiet Riot and Lynyrd Skynyrd did not appear, many fights breaking out near the stage...NOT like last years. Very disappointing...

The bands they played were all great!!! My favorite band was Cheap Trick!! The only thing I would recommend for next year is that they spray down the parking area and all of the park with ant killer, since I wound up stepping in an ant pile where we parked and got all bit up. And lowering the cost of the drinks.

My husband, Tom, and I came down from Lantana, FL for the concert and we were not disappointed. I loved Joan (love you Joan) and Sebastian. Steelheart was a hubby favorite and Mr. Nice Guy - oh my god, they were phenomenal! Let me also say that CB Smith Park was an excellent choice although I personally wish it was closer to home. The park was immaculate before, during and after the concert. The restrooms - speechless - they were clean. I'd like to have seen a little more food selection although the chicken on a stick was delicious. Sometimes an order of salty fries and a slider is needed with a good beer :D We had a great time.

Positives: great hd video screens, artists were good, sound was great, no mosh pits, food was above average, price for festival is fair Negatives: $20 for parking is expensive, no reentry is bogus when you are there all day, cancelled Quiet Riot and never even announced it, did not offer refunds that i am aware of despite headliner lynnrd skynnrd cancelling. Overall, i would recommend as a good value.

Acts weren't long enough, booze was overprized, parking was too far away. Not a good value at all.

No complaints regarding artist preformence at all. Rockfest hompage and Facebook did'nt give you very much information and has to improve. For example, wrong or no info where to enter the venue. Hompage said you could bring a bag smaller than 12x12 but when try to enter with small backpack, not allowed. Quit Riot no show, no information at all from rockfest. Lot of peple (media and other) between stage and VIP sector.

The lineup was awesome....Some bands sounded better than others.....I think the headliners could have been flip-flopped around...First night Bret Michaels Band closed the show but Tom Kiefer of Cinderella brought the house down before Bret....The crowd was definitely there to see Kiefer so when Bret came on there wasn't so much energy in the crowd.... I'm a fan of both of them, seen them both numerous times but Bret looked like a commercialized pop star compared to Kiefer's nasty, hard Rock N Roll energy he brought to the show....Vixen Firehouse, NightRanger, John Waite were impressive day 1....On day 2 the headliners should have been flip-flopped again.....Paul Rodgers who I loved since Bad Company and Free days was good but Ace Frehley crushed it before Paul...The crowd was there to see the Legend Of Ace and he did not disappoint...Ace rocked the house til the roof came off....Paul had a hard time trying to fill the void of space when Ace left the stage...on day 2 besides the two big acts mentioned here, the one guy who blew the place up was Sebastian Bach...it was his birthday and he brought it....doing old Skid Row songs and some of his own he was entertaining and interacting with the crowd....his music and band was driving the riffs at you in the crowd and you FELT THE MUSIC..!

Bought my tickets as soon as I saw this up on Facebook. From location to production everything was amazing. The band times were all set up so that you could hear out every band you wanted. Tom Keifer and Ace Frehley were insanely good! Can't wait to see what these guys bring next year.

Great festival at a beautiful location. Many good bands and nice people.

I'm SO glad that my best friend & I decided to go to this show. I was at first hesitant about going for several reasons actually --- #1 was the ticket price (but NOW looking back on it, the ticket was reasonably priced --$100) #2 was the fact that it was an ALL day event. (I have 2 kids & wasn't sure how that was going to work out -- plus now that I'm in my 40's I wasn't sure if I'd have the endurance for an ALL day show. Last time I did that was 25+ years ago at the "Monsters of Rock" show at the Orange Bowl. It was a two day event -- my friend & I chose the Sunday show with Paul Rogers, Ratt, Winger Quiet Riot, Sebastian Bach, Geoff Tate, Slaughter, Autograph & Lynch Mob. We got there a little late around 1:30. They parked us WAY back in parking lot #1 out of 10. Luckily I'm pretty familiar with this park -- I don't live far from it & have been there plenty of times to know the lay of the land. We immediately saw upon our arrival a "Rickshaw" rider. We found out it was only $5.00 per person to ride to the front door of the venue which saved us walking about a mile. Money well spent as far as I'm concerned. We each brought with us a folding chair, a couple of waters. They do BTW check to make sure your water bottle does NOT have a broken seal -- just fyi. They weren't as worried as the "20 oz" rule -- I personally brought in a 33 oz bottle of water with me. They had a bunch of vendors selling all kinds of stuff -- if you get a chance you should take a look around & see for yourself. They had some really neat rock n roll stuff. I bought a couple of concert shirts ($25.00 each) for my kids & went to scope this out. BTW -- bring a small plastic bag with you in case you do buy something -- no one supplied any bags...thank goodness we brought one with us by chance. As for pricing -- hmm....you be the judge -- Beers $9.00, Water & Soda $3.00 Food ranged anywhere from $10.00 to $15.00 --- As for the bands -- I enjoyed ALL of them. My favorite was in this order: Paul Rogers, Ratt, Geoff Tate, Winger, Quiet Riot, Sebastian Bach, Autograph, Slaughter oh I almost forgot Ace Frehley too -- he was awesome -- smoking guitar solo and everything. :) Everyone we met that day was happy & enjoying themselves. No fights no rowdy crowds. There was HEAVY police presence but that could be due to the fact that the park it located 1/2 away from the Broward Sheriff's Office. It was an awesome 80's rock and roll fest. I would highly recommend checking it out for yourself. The bands were great. The event was stressfree & organized better than some other shows that I've been to that were held in bigger arenas. None of the vendors ever ran out of anything -- everyone was polite & sincere. No long lines anyway -- including the bathrooms !!! (We opted to use the park's facilities instead of the porta potties which were located right next to where the 80's arcade & dance party location) I SO hope that they continue to do this event EVERY year!!! I would definitely go without a doubt again & again & again!!! Absolutely!!!! The only thing I would be differently is either bring a back up battery or bring two cell phones with me to video tape some of each show. Unfortunately my battery conch out after the 3rd band. :( I recommend the rickshaw ride -- and bring a chair & a small umbrella for shade!! Don't forget to bring lots of cash. All in all you will not be disappointed if you like 80's hair band kind of music. I can't believe how close I was able to get to the stage to each show (4th //5th row) for so many incredible bands --- if only I had a camera. :) The price of the ticket ($100.00 per day) is worth EVERY penny. Treat yourself to a chance of a lifetime & Rock On!!!!!!!

1 name: ACE. go see him whenever humanly possible...

The idea of a two day rock fest in South Florida seemed great. I've been to rock fests before so know how a well run open works. For a first time it was okay, and the bands were great, but the way it was set up and run needs improvement. The venue, Markham Park, is very large and the concert site was well into the center of the park. The staff that assisted with parking was clueless and I wound up parking a lot farther from the actual site than I should have. There were two stages, always a good idea at a rock fest, but they were too far apart. If the stages had been closer they could have alternated stages with little time in between bands, but they didn't. The bands were very good, but Night Ranger only did five songs, I think due to time constraints and they apologized for it. The overall band performances were very good, but big improvements need to be made in the organization. Hopefully they will learn from their mistakes and the organizers will make improvements next year.
