Athletics Event Reviews

Fantastic

In the VIP Gold section there was no food available. There was a small concession stand with minimal snacks and they only took cash (QAR). No ATM machine. They ran out of the gift bags. This is my 2nd year going. Last year I got there so early I was told the bags were not being handed out yet. Then they gave them all away. This year I arrived around 1830 and the bags were all gone. The gate nearest the VIP entrance stop letting people in because there scanner was down. They said they will only allow people with paper tickets in. There should be someone monitoring how people are parking in the parking lot by the stadium. People were parking anywhere they wanted. The lanes were blocked from bith ways.

What a great experience! Booking through koobit is always very easy and secure. The diamond league in Doha was superbly organised and attendeng in person rather than watching on TV was such an eye opener. I realised once again how important a role sport plays and that there are millions of crazy fans like me in the world. Sport brings us all together and we can only admire these athletes who sacrifice so much each days to attempt to make it to the top. I watched in awe and loved every minute of sharing the experience with all the other spectators. Come on sports lovers, get off the couch and attend these wonderful sports events, you will not regret it. Thank you Koobit, for making tickets purchases so easy and thanks also to the organisers of the event, without you an event is not possible.

It was a fantastic event, I was so excited to watch the event we the world champions

We arrived at the stadium with our two small children and walked round to the gate for general admission. There was a huge crowd of people all trying to push to the front. We ended up in the middle towards the front and our children were basically getting crushed in the crowd. People were pushing me and stamping on my feet. One of our children ended up crying as they were so scared. There was no system at all to control the crowds. We eventually managed to get in as we went to a different gate and told the guards there that we had paid for our tickets and our children were being crushed. Once inside we enjoyed the event but getting in was horrible.

Excellent event. Organisation much improved from last year. Could do with more screens as family and schools area has blocked view. Seats filthy. In the whole awesome.

Great event, efficiently run. Food and drink very expensive and vending machines ran out of some drinks. Also, are there recycling bins?

This is a great event at a good venue. Lower tier seats are a bit tight on legroom. Upper tier have a bit more space. Event was well organised as always.

This is the indoor track and field event everyone should go to. Intimate, fast and world class athletes Amazing event and easy accessibility and excitement plus DO MILLROSE!!

Loved every bit of it, but only 1 thing, was too many empty seats, look at the start of the 200M race, ask fans to sit right there, just for TV, looks empty, but the rest of the classic was perfect.

Fantastic Meet

The Prefontaine Classic was a well organized and well run meet that kept your head spinning from event to event with every race or event being a final. So exciting!

Once of a life trip. Great facility, great competition and great people.

Hayward field is the greatest venue and everything is first class. Every seat is a great view of the action. Great announcing and fan knowledge. LOVE IT!

Trip of a lifetime

Great stadium and atmosphere, relatively easy entry once the championships got going.

Perfect.

Amazing

The event was well organized. Most of the volunteers were very helpful, however a few got impatient with visitors due to the language barrier. I assume that it was the language barrier and not something else! Sometimes the credit card machines for buying food and drinks did not function properly. This was very frustrating, both to the young people behind the counter and to the spectators. Other than that it was a good experience for me.

As we always find when we visit any athletic event, the options for food are not particularly healthy. We didn't see any salad bars or similar, or vegan/vegetarian outlets. Mostly burgers and chips etc.

We find this surprising considering the nature of the event, where I'm sure the athletes would have a healthier diet than that provided for the public.
