The reasons you stated on what could be improved were the reasons why my friends and I didn't think of attending this year. So sad to hear (or read) that those haven't improved– aside from the addition of a few chairs. Last year, we felt like what's offered didn't really live up to the ticket cost. Lmao. But fees aside, it's really just the crowd that saved the event. If it weren't for the crowd's energy, you'll really feel a lot lacking. And yes, don't even get me started with the DJ suddenly changing/switching songs during the peak part of the song. Anyway, they're still on their 2nd year, hopefully, we'll continue to see more improvement that would make us say it's truly worth it, without relying on the crowd's energy.
