I went to the historic Crew Stadium for Thursday of Sonic Temple 2026. My first time at this particular event at this site. I had been to plenty of events when it was the MLS Crew's home field. I personally do not think this is prime real estate for a festival. I parked at a garage at Columbus State and took a shuttle. The drop off area was still a bit of a walk from there to check in and go in. Some of sound was not great for a few of the stages. Some video was spotty too. Only one free water refill station. Thankful for that, but only one area? On a positive note, the bathrooms in the stadium section were clean and operational. I get it, this isn't the main stadium for the soccer team anymore, but things still take place here. Keep the sound and video up to snuff. The traffic was a big problem for a lot of people, planning on the facility, city and promoter have to be more in sync for a better rating if I am to return in future years. read more

Attended the Hozier concert on Wednesday, June 18, 2025 -- and "chaotic" doesn't even begin to cover it. Everything started off great. We breezed through security, grabbed merch quickly, and were actually impressed by how smoothly things seemed to be running. But it all went downhill fast. Gigi opened and performed four songs before being pulled from the stage. Moments later, an announcement came over the speakers citing severe weather, instructing people to either shelter in place (with barely any room to do so) or return to their vehicles. We -- along with hundreds of others -- stood packed in the concourse for nearly two hours with zero direction or updates. Rain poured in through the bleachers, soaking people despite wearing ponchos. All the booths and stands were closed, so there was no access to water or anything else. It was uncomfortable, poorly managed, and honestly felt unsafe. Around 9:30 PM, with still no new information, we made the call to leave. We headed back to our car, only to get stuck in gridlock traffic trying to exit the lot -- for nearly an hour. No one was directing traffic or managing flow. Then, suddenly at 10:15 PM, they posted an announcement saying the venue was reopening. What followed was a total mess -- cars trying to leave clashing with fans trying to return, people sprinting toward the gates, vehicles weaving around each other recklessly, honking, pulling out in front of each other. It was dangerous, and absolutely no one was coordinating anything. We ultimately decided to continue leaving -- even though lightning was still visible and it was raining -- because we had already waited so long, and the whole experience had become incredibly frustrating. If they were going to let the show resume in those conditions, it should've happened an hour earlier instead of stringing people along with "lightning delay" messages. This venue was completely unprepared and unprofessional. The lack of communication and crowd control was unacceptable. I'm heartbroken to have missed seeing one of my favorite artists because of the disorganization, and I know thousands of others are feeling the same way. I won't be returning to this venue -- no matter who's playing. Truly one of the worst concert experiences I've ever had. read more

Only complaint I'd say was audio and the parking that was messed up. But overall was such a fun time here for the last four days I came here for Sonic Temple. Plenty of places to cool off and get shade if needed. Prices of food was insane as well. But the bands were great. I enjoyed all the new bands I listened to and previous bands I initially came to listen to were great too. I would still recommend Sonic temple to anyone who wants to enjoy an awesome festival. People were also nice and very welcoming to anyone who was new and also experienced festival goers. read more

Every year is a 4 day concert and they still have not figured out transportation! Too many people for cell signal. Paid to peddler to get to McDonalds who states 24hrs but that is drive through only! Used their WiFi to order my Uber but they won't pick up at McDonalds and forces this disabled person to walk to an Uber lot where I came from after paying $30 to get cell service! Thn Uber driver call and asked me to walk to his car which was stuck in traffic. Guess what I passed the McDonalds to get to his car! This city and this stadium is a cluster fick! read more

I came here to see Hozier on Wednesday, June 18th and never got to see the concert! I bought floor seat tickets for both my daughter and I to see the concert and we drove 2 hours, from Cincinnati to Columbus. During the fourth song by the opening act the stadium told us all to shelter in place under the concourse or in our cars because of a storm. Many people ran for their cars. The winds picked up quickly and the left hand side of the stage blew apart, as the merch tent went tumbling. The weather radar was showing steady rain and dangerous lightning until at least midnight. The heat and humidity started to get to many of us, as we had no access to water. When we were told to shelter in place the stadium closed concessions. Those that dared to come out from the shelter to find water or a restroom were screamed at by staff members with bullhorns. Then we started to hear staff yelling on bullhorns for us to move and make way for a stretcher! Then they rolled out the first person in our area to drop from the heat. Then another and another. We watched 5 people come through our small area on stretchers. There's no telling how many others were stretchered out around the stadium due to the overwhelming heat and lack of water! As the time and the rain wore on more and more people made way to their cars or left the venue. We stayed - hoping that the concert would still go on. Staff started to tell the concert goers that the concert was going to be called because of the lightning. We eventually decided to go wait in the car - after over 2 1/2 hours with no word from the stadium or the artist about whether the concert would resume or be cancelled. When word came of the concert resuming - and 15 minute allotted time frame to make it back inside the stadium - pandemonium ensued in the parking lot. People started driving at high rates of speed through the lot. Young people were darting out in front of cars. I was terrified that I would run over someone in the chaos. They ran like it was the end of the world - like their life depended on getting back inside. It was extremely dangerous!! No care from the staff that anyone could be knocked down and trampled by running people when given only 15 minutes to make it back into the venue. In all my years of attending concerts I've never experienced anything like this. I am old enough to remember, and from Cincinnati, the Who concert tragedy and I'm shocked that this venue pulled something as stupid as telling people that paid all that money for their tickets, and then waited for over 2.5 hours, that they only have 15 minutes to make it back inside. It's a miracle no one was seriously injured in this fiasco. Many of us never made it back into the venue! It's clear now that Historic Crew Stadium and Hozier's team were figuring out a way to shorten the show and get the noise curfew extended an extra hour so that a shortened concert could be put on no matter the weather - while we were all sheltering from the storm. Also - by telling people to go to their cars & making people wait for multiple hours in a bad storm ensured that half the crowd would leave. Then they didn't have to put anyone on the metal bleachers and could let the much smaller crowd into the floor seating. The nosebleed seats were now going to get into the premium seats that others paid a lot of money for. This also was a dangerous move! I follow Hozier on a few social media platforms. He had to cancel another concert in the days before the June 18th show due to rain. I'm guessing they didn't want to do that again and instead chose to put the lives of thousands of people at risk and put money over human life. I've contacted Historic Crew Stadium Director of Guest Services and was told in the email "Thank you for reaching out - We appreciate you expressing your concerns and please know we are taking this very seriously and we strive to ensure a safe environment for everyone. All protocols will be reviewed to ensure that we achieve this going forward. For Refund information - please send the account buyer's name and seat location to Guestservices@columbuscrew.com We are working with the Tour and Live Nation on next steps."  I never heard back. I emailed him again and he never responded. I've been in touch with Ticketmaster asking for a refund and they said that they are working with Historic Crew Stadium and the tour and would be in touch. They have not been in touch. I have started the charge dispute with my bank to try to get my $333.16 back that I spent on the tickets. But since they did put on an abbreviated show it will be unlikely that any of us that try to get our money back through our banks will see a dime. It will be a miracle if someone(s) that were injured and taken out on stretchers don't contact an attorney and sue this stadium and/or tour management! Oh, and Ohio recorded 3 small tornadoes that night with sustained winds of 80-100 mph. read more

I visited on 6/18 for the Hozier concert and it was shocking how poorly managed and irresponsible this event was. I understand that weather is unpredictable but the staff wasted peoples money and put many at risk. I arrived minutes before the first delay and had not yet made it into the stadium before the I was told to go back to my car. I waited in my car for almost 3 hours and was unable to get updates due to no cell service and no one sharing what was happening. People started to leave as the VENUE STAFF said to go home. I stayed until 10:15 when I began following a large group of people who were lining up, again, no one shared what was happening. While in a large group of people there were 2 giant bolts of lightning and someone in line shared with us that 10 years ago someone at THIS VENUE someone was struck. I wanted to turn around but had already paid $250 for tickets, $35 for parking, and sat in my car for over 2 hours. At 10:15 we were told Hozier would be on at 10:30... so there was 15 mins to get everyone back into the stadium. The security was wildly irresponsible, not scanning anyone's tickets, allowing multiple people through the metal detectors at once WITH umbrellas in hand and not checking a single bag. Once in the venue they were out of water and had no merch because the table flew away. People were stealing trash bags to wear as ponchos and there was chaos as half the audience went home BECAUSE THEY WERE TOLD TO and no one sat in correct seats because no one bothered to check. I tried to stay once Hozier came on but within the first 3 songs there were 2 more bolts of lighting while we all sat in the large, uncovered, metal stadium. This is so incredibly irresponsible and dangerous especially knowing the history of the venue. The stage was not safe either as they were clearly having tech issues and the equipment was flying around in the wind. I decided to leave as it was unsafe and we were getting a shortened (1 hr 30 mins instead of 3 hr) show. TERRIBLE venue, should have cancelled and rescheduled. Incredibly greedy to continue on a show in such unsafe conditions. Not to mention no refunds for the people who were told to go home. Irresponsible, unsafe, mismanaged, lack of communication, greedy, the list goes on. I don't care if God himself came to this stadium I will never be back. read more

On 6/18 live nation and HCS put the safety of concert goers at risk by not cancelling a concert. Instead they delayed for 2.5 hrs with no communication and then gave 15 min notice that the concert would start, at the time the concert should have been ending (10:40 on a Wednesday night). During the 2.5 hr wait at the venue concourses, they provided no water. They had delayed the concert for active lightning in the 1-2 mile radius of the stadium, yet the lightning was still striking very close by as the abbreviated concert was going on. I want a refund for the Hozier show. This was corporate greed over safety. read more

Historic Crew Stadium - Destruction from the initial storm front, in which they were asking people to walk 20 min back to their cars to shelter in place. - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I attempted to attend a Hozier concert on 6/18/25 with my friend and my nine year old child. Everything about this night was an absolute disaster and a blatant disregard for human life. I had gone back and forth with the decision to go because of the potential bad weather but knew that I had dropped quite a bit of money on the concert. I checked the weather protocols of the venue before I made my trek there and kept a solid eye on the weather. I felt like the venue had great protocols in place to keep fans safe so my group decided to attend. The first awful thing we encountered was getting gridlocked in traffic for well beyond an hour. There was no one directing traffic and it was absolute chaos trying to get into the venue. The worst part of the storm went through while stuck in traffic and stuff was just flying everywhere. Such high winds that nobody should have been walking in it, yet the venue thought it okay to send concert attendees out into it. Since the event we have heard many horror stories as to what occurred during this time. After about 2 hours of being stuck outside the venue my friend and I managed to get to the parking attendee had no idea if there were any spots available or anything. I was unable to find a spot in an area that I paid to park in. We had gotten notice at 8:04pm that the concert had been delayed. The venue then thought it was okay to make no contact with anyone again until 10:13pm when they stated the show would go on, in fact it would be starting approximately around 10:30pm. This gave all those people, some who had already exited the venue, some who had left altogether, all those people 17 minutes to get into the venue and into their seats. At this point I decided that the stadium didn't care about any one of us or our safety. On top of that from the area we were parked in, we heard the concert start at about 10:40 and saw the people just running in massive hoards towards the stadium. I was informed that no protocols were being followed in regards to security checks and tickets weren't even scanning or being scanned. This was an absolute money grab and someone dropped the ball on this entire event. I will not be back EVER to this venue. They have no regard whatsoever for human life and they should be absolutely ashamed in all the decisions that were made that evening and perhaps shut down for the time being until they can get their protocols and such in order. No one deserves to pay that kind of money and have an experience just destroyed for them. Want to learn more about that night....just check out social media. Lightning was striking during the concert. read more

I would give a half star if I could. Worst venue in the country. No signage for parking. Everyone funneling in and out of one parking entrance. nobody directing traffic. They delayed a show because of storms, and then forced just the main act to perform a shortened set IN THE STORM, in worse conditions than they originally delayed for, right before the noise ordinance so they could avoid giving refunds. Mind you people have been struck by lightning in this stadium before. Do not attend an event here under any circumstances read more

The recent Hozier concert was by far the worst concert experience I have had. We had issues from the moment we started driving there. Traffic was backed up from the parking gates for two miles. We were in the car for an hour driving the last two miles to the parking lot. $35 parking for a lot 1/2 mile away from the stadium is absurdly priced for the Columbus area. The parking attendants were sitting and on their phones not directing traffic but then got mad at us for trying to turn down an aisle to park. No guidance was given at all. Everything started going smoother until bad weather interrupted the end of Gigi Perez's set. They forced everyone out of the stadium while tents and chairs were flying in the wind, and we were instructed to go to our cars or a separate building far from the stadium. People were blocking the stairs to hide from the wind and the rest of us were stuck for ~15 minutes trying to evacuate due to the foot traffic (just like the parking lot!). All of us on the stairs had to start yelling to get the staff's attention to tell people to move out of the way so we didn't get struck by lightning waiting on the stairs to evacuate. We were under a lightning delay starting at 8pm and my group waited until 9:30pm but the lightning kept going and our county was under an active lightning warning. Columbus county has an 11pm noise ordinance so we left thinking, realistically, the concert would be cancelled. The only updates we saw while we waited were through social media and their webpage, however the webpage kept crashing and cell service was abysmal since so many people were in the area using their phones. Despite active lightning occurring less than 10 miles from the stadium, the lightning delay was suddenly lifted around 10pm, where the stadium announced it was reopening and gave only a 15 minute heads up before Hozier started the set. It takes 15 minutes to walk across the parking lot. The rest I heard from social media and their webpage since my group did not want to risk being stuck by lightning in a metal stadium. It seems Hozier started the set at ~10:40 and played until midnight, breaking the curfew. Around 50% of the attendees left because of the lack of communication and worry for their safety. It was a Wednesday night, and most people don't have the luxury of their time being wasted by incompetent staff. A 2 hour setlist was condensed to 1hr 20mins because the venue and live nation are too greedy to bother refunding or rescheduling the show. I have not heard from either ticketmaster or the venue regarding a refund. I love Hozier, but the decision to play during a lightning storm was irresponsible and someone should have put their foot down to say this is not right. Someone died in this stadium ~10 years ago due to a lightning strike, I find it disgusting that the people in charge would risk everyone's safety and lives to avoid doing their jobs of promoting a safe and fun show for everyone. I understand rescheduling or giving refunds is a nightmare, but so is the possibility of one or more people dying due to lightning. I am never going to that venue again and am making sure everyone knows how horribly it is run. read more

The stadium has been a rockstar over the years, considering it's only been used for concerts and events. It's in top shape and will stay that way with all the big events it hosts. There's plenty of parking and easy access with the nearby highway. Overall, this place is a great fit for what it does. read more

We bought tickets for GiGi Perez and Hozier's June 2025 show. We bought outfits for the show. We got to the show and my daughter went to our seats while I got in line at the merch table. It started to rain. The stadium cut GiGi Perez's opening set short and "delayed" the concert, advising people to shelter in the emergency exit area underneath metal bleacher seats which were not cleaned out (so full, unopened beverages, rolled through and nearly killed us as the storm got worse.) The Merch table had shut down during the customer right ahead of me in line, so, here we were in shorts and tank tops, now soaked to the bone, our brand new shoes in 4" of water... while the lightning continued. More than 2 hours after being shoved off the field to stand there, we were exhausted, freezing, and defeated - they finally announced that they'd allow Hozier to come on and play, starting at 10:30. This entire tour, he's been playing 20 songs. That night? He played about 6. We did NOT get what we paid for when I chose the 15th row floor, we DID get nearly killed when a full Bud Light hit my daughter on the head, we DID ruin $200 shoes the first time we wore them, we DID have a miserable night being cold and wet, we DID have to pay $250 for a hotel room because they delayed so long that there was no way we were driving home afterwards, and on top of that? We did NOT even get to buy merch. Because it was unsafe for merch, but "perfectly safe" for the people being bled of $1000 each to come to the show. read more

Worst experience ever! I will never get tickets here again. The way they have handled the Hozier concert (6/18/25) situation is appalling. Myself and thousands of other people out all of that money for a concert we didn't even see. Why would a venue still go on with an outdoor concert in a lightning storm. We left due to the weather. It should have been canceled. The safety of myself and my family is more important. Safety concerns, poor communication and lack of preparedness should have you thinking twice about ever attending an event here. read more

Hozier concert on 6/18 was a disaster. Abismal communication from the venue throughout the entire 3 hour storm delay. Me and my roommate chose to leave since it was nearing 10:30 PM with no update and we had a 3 hour drive home, just for the venue to open back up (while there was still lightning) to avoid giving out refunds, and Hozier ended up playing a shortened set read more

I was an attendant at the June 18th 2025 Hozier concert. as I'm sure the details are available other places, we were forced into a small space with no communication from the staff for three hours because of a storm, being drenched by water coming through the ceiling. after being told by staff that the venue would close at 11 and the concert likely wouldn't continue, hundreds of us left for our own safety. without an appropriately timed warning, they resumed the concert and played for an hour it past closing so that the venue would not have to refund anyone. the security was awful. they just let anyone in when the concert resumed. everyones safety was at risk. they have disconnected their phone and their voicemail is full because of all of the complaints. they will not answer emails. they have now deleted EVERY SINGLE ONE STAR REVIEW that was left by people at the concert, trying to cover all of this up. this is disgusting behavior as a business. customers should be able to voice their opinion and not have it suppressed by the venue that wronged all of us. who knows how many times this has happened and no one knows because they delete all of the reviews. do NOT let this be wiped away again. As an edit- I posted a review on their google page two days ago stating that they were deleting one star reviews. My review has now been deleted. It is sick that they are trying to lie and cover up what happened. read more

Drove 5 hours just to not even get the chance to step foot in the venue. Caused major traffic from all directions. After being delayed for thunder and lighting, we were left waiting with no communication for over an hour. they post... at 10:14... that the show will resume at 10:30... The parking you pay $35 for put us literally one mile from the stadium. Not even enough time to get back to seats in time. There was also still lightning. As they resumed the concert in a metal bowl. They don't respect or care about you or your safety. They're willing to risk it all to make sure they get to keep your money. Will never return. read more

The storm situation for the Hozier concert on 6/19 was handled atrociously. Minimal communication from the venue while people stood around in the rain for hours, just to give 15 minutes notice that the show is back on 30 minutes before curfew? Most people had left and traffic around the stadium is too much of a disaster to deal with twice. read more

HORRIBLE experience. I waited in traffic for 1.5 hours 3 miles away just to get to the parking lot I paid $35 dollars for which was 1 mile away from the venue. The traffic was insane for miles. It then stormed and they immediately delayed the show. We were left without updates for over an hour just for the stadium to delay the show again in the midst of the storm, not cancelling. The stadium continued to leave all the people without details and STILL took money from people at the ticket booth who were buying tickets during the delay. I will NEVER return to this venue, absolute worst experience I have ever had going to a concert. I cannot believe the lack of respect for the people who traveled for the show to this venue, the lack of communication was absolutely unacceptable. Never again. read more

Do not come to concerts here. Multiple poor experiences. The latest involved letting a show go on during active lightning just so they could squeeze in the show before a sound ordinance went into effect. They care about their money over your safety. read more

If I could give this venue less than one star i would. We paid 200$/pc for tickets to see Hozier, the concert got rained out four songs in to the opening act, we got sent to our cars and headed out while there was no one to direct traffic and porta potties were flipped over and tree branches were snapping off in the wind. The only instruction from the venue was to check for updates on their website and social media pages. After an hour of waiting in our car and no updates from the venue, and with the storm still raging, we left. Another HOUR AND A HALF LATER, after NO updates from the venue at 10:15pm, the venue posted on Instagram that the concert would resume in 15 minutes. As I'm writing this the storm is still going on and according to news reports there is ongoing lightning. This venue does not care about their customer base, they don't care about the artists that perform there, all they care about is money and I personally will be fighting for a refund and NEVER going back to this venue. NOTE: This review was originally posted on Google reviews however, the venue is deleting all one star reviews and reviews about this event. The original event was on Wednesday the 18th, over a week ago, and the venue has not issued a statement, not to mention an apology. I am actually furious about this experience. read more

Went to see hozier on 6/18. Due to a severe thunderstorm, we had to evacuate to our cars and wait for further instructions. Historic Crew Stadium did a terrible job at keeping us updated and in the end, they never cancelled the concert. They resumed it after two and a half hours, and Hozier still performed during lightning in a metal stadium. All those in attendance were put at risk. Historic Crew Stadium handled the situation extremely poorly and I won't be going back there ever again. read more

I have been to upwards of 30 concerts across the US, and I have never felt more disrespected and fleeced as I did at Crew Stadium last night (6/18/25) for the Hozier concert. I understand that there is nothing that they can do about severe weather disrupting a concert other than plan for it, but that was precisely the problem: there was seemingly no response plan in place for a storm that everyone was anticipating. I have no idea how a venue in the midwest (a region known for its volatile spring/summer weather) could do such a pisspoor job at event management in a severe weather circumstance. In fact, a patron got struck by lightning at Crew Stadium in 2014 and it feels like they have yet to learn their lesson based on last night. Shortly after we arrived, the opener was cut short after about 4 songs and we were told to evacuate to our cars or under the concourse. Given the fact that the storm looked pretty gnarly at this point and came in so quickly, we felt that it would be safer to seek shelter in the concrete women's restroom than chance it in our car. We could see traffic was stalled at this point and didn't want to be sitting ducks in case of a tornado. We sheltered in the restroom for over an hour, with little communication from the venue in the meantime. We stepped outside and the most severe part of the storm had seemingly passed. We were hopeful that the venue would continue rain or shine (like our tickets said) but they continued to postpone citing severe weather and/or lightning. In the meantime, no vendors were open, there was no food or water available whatsoever (which, given the strict bag policy, proved to be quite dangerous), and there were seemingly no employees to answer questions/control the crowd/monitor for health emergencies. Due to the heat and humidity, as well as everyone being crowded into a very small space together, there were several people that collapsed or threw up. At this point, I was not only worried about the weather, but about heat stroke, dehydration and crowd surges/tramplings. If you hadn't left before the storm came in, you were likely stuck until it passed or until you were granted some reprieve. Given that we drove 3 hours and booked a hotel for this show, we decided to try to stick it out to see if they would just postpone until the rain lessened. Around 9, the rain had mostly let up and we were just waiting on the all clear for the occasional lightning in the distance. We understood their reasoning and respected it, given the 2014 incident. However, we received absolutely no updates from the venue from 9:00 until 10:15, at which point they told us that we had 15 minutes to get back to the venue for a start time at 10:30. It was understood prior that the local noise ordinance came into effect at 11:00, so many people had called it for the night and began heading home, especially given the absolute blackout of updates from the venue. It was immediately clear to us upon our arrival back to the stadium that this was because Crew Stadium didn't want to reschedule or refund the show, because we were greeted with several instances of lightning upon arrival around 10:30. Their delays prior were due to lightning, and they threw their concern over our safety out the window the second they thought their pocketbooks may be harmed. Loads of people had left at this point with many not returning due to work the next day/living out of town/childcare, etc. Rather than doing the right thing and calling off/refunding/rescheduling the show, they put on a show starting at 10:36 and ending at 12:02. This was a largely truncated and rushed show, in which songs were noticeably sped up and Hozier kept his commentary to a minimum. It felt like a cheap money grab given how expensive the tickets were and how many people came from all over the country to see this concert on a Wednesday night. Hozier and his crew did their best to provide a good experience, but I could not stress enough how poorly this event was managed on behalf of Crew Stadium. Little communication, seemingly no safety protocol, no food or water offered, and a rushed, delayed show after everyone was exhausted from standing in the heat for so many hours waiting on an update. Incredibly disappointing - I will NEVER be coming back to Crew Stadium given their blatant disregard for safety and their inconsideration. I will be warning all of my friends, many who are avid concertgoers, to run from this place, and far. read more

Visited this stadium for my first and last time for the Kenny Chesney concert. The one decent thing: Kenny Chesney. Areas of opportunity: parking, ticket entrance lines, security, number of bathrooms, closeness of other bars/restaurants, traffic patterns before and after events. I could go on and on but I'd like to specifically mention one area of opportunity: security. My girlfriend and I walked in line with an absolute crowd, shoulder to shoulder, through the metal detectors. When I walked through, it beeped red and I didn't even get a glance from either of the two security guards who were standing next to the metal detector. No one was checking bags or addressing the metal detectors going off. I've never seen that happen before and honestly, at that point, why was security even there? read more

Historic Crew Stadium - View from section 105 - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

The Sonic Temple Event, May16-19 was a rip off. Locking paying patrons inside a stadium for hours and making them buy over piiced food and drinks, after paying $300 a ticket for a four day event and $10.00 a day parking is a rip off. $11 for a piece of pizza no bigger than a doughnut. lf you want to see a show at 2:00 PM and one at 10:00 PM you have to stay there all day without water or food. You are not allowed to leave and come back inside on the same day. EXPLAIN THIS TO ME, HOW lS THIS A LEAGAL BUSINESS OPERATION. I plan on filing a formal complaint to the Fairs, Concerts and Entertainment Assoc., The Hotels Bussinesses and Resturant Assoc. and filing a complaint with the BBB and The Chamber Of Commerce. Until this changes every site I can subscribe to that allows true comments about these rip off concert venues I will deflate and demean the value off these concerts. Anything I can say or do to help attendees decide not patronize these events. These young people caan barely afford food today and this is whats being offered. Not to mention the Air B&B's that do not offer ways to cook your own food io save money, excepte on a hot plate. I thought I was in Mayberry. It cost a couple from out of town over $1,100 to attend this venue for the weekend. Not including transportation cost. WHATA RIP OFF. COLUMBUS, OHIO; HOW COULD YOU! I give this a THUMBS DOWN! read more
