Review of 90s Baby POP | The biggest 90s show of the decade

We had vip tickets and it was not made clear how to get to the vip entrance. The vip bar was lovely not much of a queue throughout and the extra toilets didn’t have long queueing times either. Got quite muddy but can’t be helped as weather in the days leading up to the event was awful!

Amazing, fun, care free day out reliving our youth! Was very well organised, queues for bar, toilets, food bar etc were all short.
Music was amazing!

Fab event...drinks prices were extremely over priced but other than that it was definitely worth going!

Positives. Great event with great music. We went as a group of 5 and had so much fun. Never danced so much. A few hoa**e throats from all the singing too.
Not so good. - Queues to get in were longer and slower than necessary. Needed much more staff checking tickets and bags.
Could have done with signage at the start for VIP’s too.

Excellent event, great music, prices for food could be better but food was good. VIP access could have been better organised instead of having to queue with non VIP ticket holders a separate queue and earlier access would have ben preferred

Great night but expensive drinks and bar staff really slow! No organisation with the bar!

I paid for 4x top end VIP tickets but apart from the separate entrance, separate bar and toilets , no-one really advised what else we we're entitled to so couldn't see the difference between the lower priced vip and the higher. I opted for higher as it was a belated 40th birthday celebration - due to covid. Apart from that issue the festival was fantastic

The whole evening was fantastic, very enjoyable took me back to my younger years.

The VIP ticket was a waste of money! It’s like the VIP experience didn’t actually exist so could have got a cheaper ticket for the same thing! Annoying!

Great nostalgic fun at a venue that created the festival atmosphere without being too large or overcrowded. The fact that all of the acts were playing under the cover of a tent was brilliant too due to the apocalyptic rain showers!
Perhaps more seating outside would have been useful.

We had a fab time!!

Review of 90s Baby POP | The biggest 90s show of the decade

The day was amazing... Shame the promoter lied and mis sold the VIP tickets... No VIP area, no queue jump and everyone who is complaining gets same generic lying response. Shame we were robbed for £20+ extra per ticket for nothing. Not even one seat in VIP area...which was a free for all. I queued for 2 hours plus with my VIP queue jump and was laughed at by security when I asked where VIP part was and where we go to queue jump. Artists were brilliant, people there were amazing, the promoter is a shambles, avoid buying any VIP tickets at any of there events!

This event was a real disappointment.
1 - The venue: Everyone was crammed in to the tent where they also housed two bars (the tent was already crowded and the bars added to this, absolutely no queueing system). This did not help with the social distancing which was basically impossible.
2 - The sound: The sound quality within the tent was terrible and some of the mics were louder than others for the groups and it was all over the place in volume.
3 - The setup: The acts were on a low stage and then two big screens were placed either side, if you were shorter or outside you would have zero visibility. It would have made far more sense to have at least one of the screens outside given that there was a lot more space and all the food stalls outside.

Really disappointing when you pay over £40 for a ticket (and a huge booking fee!), we left after a couple of hours and would not recommend this venue for any music event.

Absolute joke regarding VIP so much for a queue jumping, we queued with everyone else so that was completely pointless.
Mission back and forwards to toilets, toilet steps , dangerous going in and out the toilets.
I was expecting VIP section and separately in the main event. could not see any of the shows from vip so really what’s the point of that so basically all you got was an extra toilets and bar , let’s be honest the main ones are less busier than the VIP. next time they organise event they need to sort it out and organise things better. queued up. Then you have to queue up longer to get your drink tokens why couldn’t they be on the entrance as you walked in, even the security when mentioned VIP said report to the organisers because it was terrible so it doesn’t really say much about the event at all, apart from that the music the atmosphere was good prices were crap but there you go it’s a festival and you have to pay extra.
