Outside for Friday Fest 7/15/22. Free Music is good. 5PM-9PM Bring your own chairs. Supposed to be Food Trucks, literally 1 BBQ, 1 Vegan. The other 3 we're smoothies and drink type trucks. Down by the music were 2 Beer Trucks. In our area, We can do So Much Better. We have tons of Food Trucks people. Thanks ABC7 And Mr Bob Harrigan likes to Dance.

Four of us attended The Price is Right. It was so disorganized, you would think it was their first event. The staff had us stand in several lines to find out we were in the wrong lines. All we did from the time we registered, was walk & walk. Up the ramp, down the ramp then finally back down the ramp (side parking lot) toward the water & around the back of the bldg. It was exhausting. It was hot during the show & our water bottles weren't allowed inside. It was bad enough we had to wear face masks the entire time. Very uncomfortable. We paid extra for VIP seating yet I think 1 person was picked from the first 10 rows. Everyone else was from up back or way up back. VIP allowed you to Spin the Wheel after the show, yet you didn't get anything for it. My sister won $1.00 & they didn't give it to her. It was fun & exciting to be there but I felt we should've received more than just being there. To me it was a joke, managed poorly & the details kept on changing from one staff member to another. To me, it was a disappointment.

The sound was great. Seats were comfortable enough. There are a lot of great performers scheduled and I look forward to seeing them at this venue. We saw "Rain" this past weekend and the music as well as visual effects were great!

Just saw Bruce Hornsby and he was phenomenal. So talented, beautiful voice and the arrangements are stunning. The lyrics, the piano and stories sprinkled in between. What a perfect evening. He is pure joy and magic. So glad he came to Sarasota. My soul is so full. Thanks Bruce!

Van Wezel will send their requirements prior to the performance. For Price is Right, masks were required but not vaccination cards. It probably depends on each preformers preference
