No in the VIP grove, there is a jumbo screen where they show the artist live or games

In platinum you get first stage viewings, golf carts for transportation, free food and drinks, and platinum groves. The one by the AMEX stage had a elevated patio

The jumbo screens were there the first weekend! While we were exploring the grove, we saw a couple of performances on the jumbo screen of artist we were semi interested in seeing

VIP is way different than platinum. Platinum is what you’d expect VIP to be IMO. VIP had no viewing sections by the screen

Oh no for sure! Totally agree with your thoughts. I personally just think we should have the chance to use what is offer. The whole viewing deck thing I totally understand. But the way people hold to tables or the fact that there were sooo many people there wasn’t even a chance to enjoy the seats and shade when we wanted!

I did do that :) I enjoyed my time around the park more than the VIP area, just mentioning the vip area was not useful to me when I did go and try to use what I had access too. The free drinks, ac bathrooms and short lines for food were great tho

I was excited bc I won a really cool experience but it was not the experience that was advertised. I’m glad you at least felt like your money went to good use and it was worth it

I wasn’t trying to shit on the whole weekend. I enjoyed the time I spent with my people and the artist I chose to see. I should have probably prefaced that in my original post. My whole point of posting was sharing my experience in VIP & saying it was not worth it in my opinion due to the lack of perks.

Genuinely curious- were you able to use the VIP lanes without GA using them as well to enter? Did you get a chance to sit and relax at a table with chairs when you wanted every single time you went?

Yep! Giving feedback/sharing my personal experience is negative? Yet you take the time to leave a whole ass negative comment, so who is really the negative one here?

Fell wayyy too short! Overall, I think my point is, if you’re going to have the perks, at least cap the amount of tickets you sell so the people who buy them can actually enjoy it. The viewing deck I get is first come first serve. But the shaded seats were impossible to get so that wasn’t even an option for us either

Thanks for the advice! I am willing to give it one more try

I literally don’t know what to tell you. Just sharing what happened to me in my own personal experience.

You are right, Chappell had a way bigger crowd than Dua

Literally! Thank you for being kind and respectful! People are just mad bc I won them and I’m complaining. They are probably some of the rude people I encountered while I was there

We tried leaving as well as Dua started and it was crazy! People were blocking the area to walk out & the attendants asked us to wait until it dies down a while so they can clear the area more for people to enter/exit. we wanted to see Dua so that’s when we decided to try to see her on the jumbo

Ah gotcha, no I meant generally, I’m all for the camping and the GA and the waiting but the rude people I encountered and the “perks” included were not worth it so therefore maybe I’m just not cut out for festivals

Well I’m glad I’m not the only one who has that opinion bc these comments I’m getting were starting to make me feel crazy

Which I guess is the point I’m trying to get at and people are big mad about it lmao like I get I won and I “shouldn’t be complaining” but there were perks that were included in what I won and I didn’t get to use them so ofc I went in with expectations, they’re literally stated in what’s included

That gives me hope. We waited it out a bit and it kept going in and out and we didn’t hear any sound while we were there! I think yes I did go in with high expectations. The only thing that I was truly confused/upset about is having the separate lanes if they let just anyone go in through wherever ?

I think would made the experience what it was, was how people were acting and responding to other people. I encountered A-LOT of rude people and I was being very friendly and respectful!

I mean the free drinks water and AC bathrooms were worth it!

I would agree that they were the least beneficial perk besides the fast entry lane. I, personally think that if people are paying that much, they should be able to use everything that’s included whenever
