I have attended the Mosconi Cup a dozen times, here and abroad. I purchased VIP tickets mainly to have a nice meal beforehand with like-minded fans. I am not a big drinker and did not expect the soft drink variety to be great but the meals were disappointing considering the cost of the tickets. It would be very easy to choose food that cannot easily be overcooked and keep well (curry/rice, lasagne, casserole-all of which can also be vegetarian). Example - last day, boiled potatoes that were hard in the middle and none of the 3 mains had any sauce served with it even though implied they were cooked with one and was all quite hard to get down. We are not all there to get drunk on cheap beer and wine and some of us love the game and want to have a nice evening and experience.
I had been to the Mosconi cup in 2019 with several friends and family. We had a great time then and planned to go again. We decided to go again in 2024, liking the fact that it was held in Florida and not Las Vegas. This time it was a disappointment for all of us. Not the players, they all did a great job and played fantastic. The PLAYERS would get a 5-star rating, but the terrible noise killed the entertainment rating. The worst part was the 36 loudspeakers that BLASTED music after every game at about 150 db. This was not a rock concert, what was the reason for that? We all hated it, and it was loud even with earplugs. They even blasted the music while they were having interviews with the players?? I surely would have preferred to hear the interview. The other problem was the drunken obnoxious fans, why have a bar right in the arena? Probably only 10 percent of the spectators, but there was no control taken of the fans who hollered and cussed while the players were shooting. I was embarrassed to be an American. All of us decided we NEVER want to go back.


What a disappointment. I was only able to buy cheap seats for the last night. Ticketmaster required you to buy each night separately and by the time I tried to get another night, everything was sold out. Needless to say I wasn’t going to travel from California to Florida for so-so seats on the last day
Koobit’s making me aware of the pool tournament dates and the ease of obtaining tickets made for a very enjoyable experience for me and my son. Thanks!
Warum wird der Termin der Veranstaltung soooooooo spät kommuniziert? Ticket kauf genauso....??? Warum gibt es kein Monitor wer wo wann spielt????? Am Eingang nur ein Scanner zur Hand......Nachhaltigkeit Papierloses Ticket geht anders.....Zeitlich gesehen
Warum gibt es sofort nach dem Spiel keine Möglichkeit ein Foto mit dem Spieler zu machen - Ständig kommt der Aufnahmeleiter und bricht dies brutal ab!!!!!!
Warum gibt es fast nur Aufnahmen von oben?????? was keine Seitliche - Winkel -
beim Snooker geht dies doch auch....???
I had a very good experience at the U.S. Open. It appeared well run and the other attendees were all polite and they seemed to be having a good time also. One thing I felt was lacking was that there wasn’t any handouts or ways to find out about the rules and format of the competition. I had ask various people. I enjoyed being there!
