Where were you sitting, I was in the middle of a lot of families and normal 20-30 year olds. It was great crowd in the front 2 sections.

With all due respect, I cannot disagree with you more.
Avett concerts are HIGH energy with singing, dancing, jumping, interaction, etc. The crowd was tame. Surprisingly, the families and older adults were into the concert more than the youth.

I felt the setup was terrible. Getting into the center was a catastrophe; near an hour of waiting.
Near the stage, three food vendors and 1 bar.
Reserved seating promised VIP bars and bathrooms; no bathrooms.
The General Admission bar was so crowded that the general admission would jump the rope to go to the Reserved bars and then they had ridiculous lines.
Bars ran out of beer, wine, liquor all night and had to wait to be restocked. I was served a beer that was FOUR years past expiration date on bottle.
Lights on stage were shining in audience's eyes for first two bands and were blinding during Wade Bowen, until he had to say something. That is embarrassing.
The center's crew was constantly driving up and down the roads in cars and 4wheelers pushing people out the way so they could restock. One person got in their car parked by the stage and turned on their headlights during the Avett performance.
I had a good time, you had a good time, but that was an absolute unprofessional shite show.
