The Great American Food & Music Fest Is Today!
I've already posted our disappointment with the entire event (blah, blah, blah).... not going to rehash that. Instead I will put new comments out in a positive light.
1) We called LiveNation Sunday evening, actually got a live person! The person with whom my husband spoke was very good at Customer Service, with just a few questions and answers, voila our credit card will be credited for the purchase of our tickets. We received confirmation today that the credit is confirmed.
2) YES, our experience was not as expected. We missed seeing the demos from the Food Network people that we watch on our television for more hours than we care to admit to :)
3) Both my husband and I agree, that if the new-and-improved GAF&MF comes to the Bay Area again, we will purchase tickets.
4)Ed, you must know by now that you've been challenged to an unofficial "Throw Down" by all of the people who have posted their unhappy experience. We are hopeful that this was a learning experience for the many factions involved in putting it all together. We certainly would like the opportunity to see Bobby, Guy, Anne & Aida (and/or others) under better circumstances

It was definitely not what we expected. Like Danny said, just to get IN to the festival took an hour, we had pre-paid tickets. We stood in line for our "free plate" (pastrami sandwiches) for 3 hours. So, needless to say, we missed out on seeing the FoodNetwork personalities that originally drew us to the event in the first place.
The lack of organization made it a nightmare all the way around. What a shame. This being the first event, with hopes of having more, the mastermind behind this has a very, very long way to go to make it successful.
This is an entry that I had posted on Yelp, prior to finding this (better) forum.)
That whole Fast Pass wrist band thingy was a total fiasco. Who ever thought that was a good idea obivously didn't do their research.
Crappy organization, lack of pre-thought and a hunger for money by the visionary of this, made this a very bad experience for us. Whoever the "worker bees" were who worked the event, very much lacked in training. There was no consistent communication between them. One "Event staff" person told one story, the other one told a different story. AND the story kept evolving.

PS. to my earlier comment. A live Bobby and Paula demo-pairing would erase many hard-feelings!
