Really enjoyed this festival. It was well thought out, for the most part, was easy to get to, especially since I live close to the venue, & luckily we had good, but HOT, weather. Parking was easy & the golf carts to shuttle you to the venue was great, although I was able to park close enough that walking to & from my car wasn't an issue at all. I didn't even use the golf carts on Sunday evening after the event was over as there were too many people waiting for them. It was easier & quicker to walk back to my car. I felt safe - tons of police presence was reassuring. I enjoyed the line up of bands & musicians, there were a few I didn't necessarily care for. But the whole reason I even bought tickets was to see Chicago, since I am a HUGE FAN. They were amazing, I might add, & they never disappoint. As far as what can be done differently in the future.....I bought the VIP tickets, but I was upset that the VIP experience did not include any type of VIP seating close to the stage. The VIP covered seating area was FARTHEST AWAY FROM THE STAGE. Very strange. Usually, when you purchase VIP tickets, it includes premium seating, but not at this event. So on Sunday, I was sure to get to the park by 2 pm to claim my spot directly in front of the stage where I wanted to be to see Chicago. Keep in mind, Chicago did not perform until 10 pm, so I was there all day, primarily to hold my spot. The people who came in much later would try to come in & get in front of you.....no way.....all of the people in the area closest to the stage had gotten there early to stake out their spot - no way were we letting a late comer get in front of us. In fact, the people that had been there Saturday night said it "got ugly" between the people who had been there all day & the late comers trying to force their way up front. They said the security officers wouldn't do anything about it. It was better on Sunday because everyone knew to get closer together so the late comers had no place to go. That all could've been handled differently by the organizers & security. Also, the water available at the free cooling station was not cold. I know it was hot, but ice water wouldve been appreciated, especially since we weren't allowed to bring our own coolers in. The food provided to the VIP ticket holders was just kind of "meh." I say next time, don't try to feed us, just give us better access to good seats near the stage. A few more food vendors would've been nice. Best part for me was seeing Chicago in my up front seat!
