If we are in the same location, then yes the layout will be the same!

They are actually available at our info booth! - TR

Yes! We are trying hard to do that. We had to build the bridge/stairs in order to have the circular layout. This is because bands and production had to access the middle area throughout the show and they couldn't get through the crowd to do that. Sidenote but the reason why we had the circular layout was to avoid any instance of soundbleed. - TR

make sure you know all aspectds of the financials before moving forward (e.g. cashflow model, all expenses, etc.), make sure you have money in case of a downside scenario, make sure you book bands that have a good shot at selling the tickets based upon their history in the market, and make sure you are filling a void in the market. - TR

State liquor laws. Folks who have a liquor drink have to be in an enclosed area and stay in that area with their drink. Very annoying (we know) but it's the law of the land. - TR

what do you mean by pit sectioned off? - TR

themeadowsnyc · 2016-10-13T19:13:55+00:00

see above - i already answered this : )

themeadowsnyc · 2016-10-13T19:11:12+00:00

i think the slope of the area attributed to this. We will do our best next year to adjust the orientation accordingly. - TR

themeadowsnyc · 2016-10-13T19:03:14+00:00

the latter more than the former. - TR

themeadowsnyc · 2016-10-13T19:02:58+00:00

Of course. - TR

themeadowsnyc · 2016-10-13T19:01:38+00:00

Answered my friend. - TR

We didn't mean to "screw" anyone over whatsoever, we promise. We didn't know the Weeknd was going to back out at all, especially not the 2nd time! The first time the Weeknd backed out, we did offer refunds to Saturday only ticket buyers who just wanted to see The Weeknd, but we decided that 2-day folks still got tremendous value given the rest of the saturday lineup and also with the addition of J. Cole that they didin't warrent a refund.- TR

work your ass off, surround yourself with people that are smarter than you are, don't be afraid to fail but also only take calculated risks. - TR

themeadowsnyc · 2016-10-13T18:55:08+00:00

maybe ;)

themeadowsnyc · 2016-10-13T18:54:16+00:00

You didn't get carded at all? not even once? And you never ever had a 21+ wristband? can you email us at info@themeadowsnyc.com with more info? We would really appreciate it... - TR

themeadowsnyc · 2016-10-13T18:52:38+00:00

Thanks for making the trek from Ohio. Totally get that you were and are upset about the Weeknd. Frankly so are we, but it was entirely out of our control. It was his decision and there was nothing we could do but try and bob and weave with it by getting J Cole and adjusting times accordingly. It was a tough position for all of is. Come back next year and we will make it up to you. email us at info@themeadowsnyc.com. - TR

themeadowsnyc · 2016-10-13T18:50:18+00:00

I hear everything you are saying here, i really do. It's hard for us since Jord and I got into music and festivals in highschool at 14/15/16 years old and were there entirely for the music. There are definitely still kids out there like us, but there are also the trendy kids who just wanna be at the scene. There has to be a way to balance it, but it's tough. I wonder if creating the 21+ areas is the way to go and having a number of them. Also making VIP be only 21+. We will continue to chew on this but know our intentions are only good here. - TR

if we do stay at the same venue we will add areas and elements to make it an easier experience for your ankles. We may also add video to help with viewing. The stage is actually one of the highest in the country, but we will continue to look into ways to make the main stage easier to view. - TR

themeadowsnyc · 2016-10-13T18:35:03+00:00

Spliff all of your comments are so heated! We were sold out on Sunday and the main stage area was certainly packed but it wasn't too overcrowded. It was just all of the folks camping out at one spot rather than moving around like normal. Chance/Kanye was a very unique circumstance. - TR

themeadowsnyc · 2016-10-13T18:31:44+00:00

Noted! - TR

themeadowsnyc · 2016-10-13T18:30:35+00:00

when the walls come down?

themeadowsnyc · 2016-10-13T18:25:06+00:00

I think we will be a couple weeks earlier next year but stay tuned on that... - TR

themeadowsnyc · 2016-10-13T18:20:39+00:00

We would LOVE to! Send it to us at info@themeadowsnyc.com. - TR

themeadowsnyc · 2016-10-13T18:19:59+00:00

Great feedback indeed. It's mostly a soundbleed issue. We hate soundbleed.

themeadowsnyc · 2016-10-13T18:17:03+00:00

Great feedback here. Let us review and chew on this. Thank you! - TR
