No problem getting in, just showed tickets on phone; people were friendly; very scenic environment. Compared to Darien Lake, I liked how it was set up, maybe a smaller venue but they had more bathrooms. I don't think I could enjoy the lawn though, quite the incline there!

Liked: Great view from the rear section 5. Had an end seat to be able to dance freely LOL!
Disliked: The price of beverages!

Really enjoyed seeing John Mellencamp. The venue was very clean and organized. Food trucks were reasonably priced and a good variety of choices. Beer/water was overpriced. I came from Kingston Ontario for the show and would not hesitate to come and enjoy another great performance.

Liked: Loved the open air venue; had great weather; sound was awesome.
Disliked: $12 for a Coors Light was kinda steep; use of the big screen for the performance would have been good; had a hard time seeing the performer from row HHH.

Amazing overall.

Liked: It was amazing! Old Crow as always were amazing :-)
Disliked: Beer was a little pricey. Would be nice if you could bring in at least cans.

Very nice venue; way better staff than Darien Lake.

Liked: Very nice staff and bathrooms; beer/food stands were awesome.
Disliked: Nothing.

Liked: Nice venue; a decent number of food/beverage selections.

This was my second visit at Canandaigua. I really enjoyed my visit as I did my first. Great summer venue, great friendly and helpful staff, great food/drink options. Can't wait to go again!

Liked: Of course, seeing the Doobie Brothers (my number one band) and Peter Frampton. Well organized operation.
Disliked: A ''happy drunk'' in front of us who got up and down every three minutes, but it was OK. Part of the deal, but a little selfish on his part.

Beverage prices are too extreme.

Liked: Great atmosphere; great performance.

Liked: Very well planned getting out of the parking lot after the event was over.
Disliked: Nothing really.

Liked: Very nice arena. Concert was awesome. Hope to return again soon.
