It was my first beach elite pro tour to attend and i loved every second of it, i was there only wed-sat morning but the energy and the buzz was enough!
The event schedule was good overall, the matches were amazing. I do have some improvements to share for next time regarding organization:
1. The entrance control rules for drinks and food changed everyday, sometimes even in the morning you could enter some stuff and in the afternoon suddenly you couldn't anymore. I would have liked more transparency from the start, specifying what we could enter and whatnot. The first days we could enter a 1.5L bottle of water and Saturday we could not. Everyone had to left it outside and it was quite a mess. Every time you passed the entrance control you felt you were doing something wrong.
2. Court 2 could have used a shade. We had to use umbrellas to protect us from the sun
3. Official merchandise store was also a mess. We wanted to buy a woman top and a man singlet and the first days they had nothing. On Friday they had men's singlet, only XL size and they told us they won't have any woman's top. On Saturday we asked again and they told us they won't have it. On Sunday we happened to pass by again and there were woman's tops, all sizes. Man's singlet only 2XL.
Great experience from court visibility, access to players and relative location to metro .
It was amazing expiriance.
Great event, there were no bad seats, and everyone involved was awesome!
Signage to the event was clear, and parking was good, but had mixed results with getting Uber drivers there for pickup.
Food selection was limited the first couple of days, but improved later.
The merchandise stands were basically non existent. Very limited options to purchase beach volleyball items.
Not many options for food trucks either for such a big event.
Had a great time wished their would of had volleyballs for purchase and more variety of foods to buy, being diabetic
Will there be a waiting list for next year purchase?
Coming back for sure!!!
Go Canada 🍁 Go
My the best experience that I've had near to the best players in the world!
My first ever VNL experience was the best thing that ever happened in my life. I finally got to see play live my favorite volleyball teams. I hope to see them next year. 🥹🫶🤞🏻
Everything was perfect. The game the people, players. The only problem was the time. It said that the game will start at 5 pm local time, tho it started at 3 pm. Everything else was excellent.
I appreciated the experience except for the price. I find it too much compared to when it was in Araneta. Like why? How about the kids who cannot afford such price but then is deeply inspired to pursue a career in sports (vball) but then they would watch from afar? Parang langgam lang makikita mo sa gen. ad. :( Quite saddening. I would understand the increase of price but too much naman. :'( After all these evaluations and ratings, hopefully we can get a feedback so we can understand better what happened and how do we go about it po.
We also had out tickets online. Grabe abang namin. Once it was opened sold out kaagad especially the VIPs and closer view boxes? What happened? Bakit pinamimigay sa mga companies? Just sell it as it is please.
Everyone was very positive and it was overall a really fun experience. The energy made the matches so much more fun and as a younger volle6ball player it inspired me a lot.
Had a great time! I’m a subscriber and enjoy watching games at home ,yet watching it live is a total entertainment and fun.love it ..although ,I think I jinked the USA team to defeat!!! It was awesome and made a lot of friends as well..the venue is excellent, despite driving 6 hours and overnight stay .it’s was worthy and beautiful weekend.
need query for food.
no more option for food.
difficult to call grab back to gcb
An amazing time watching the USA men’s team take on France and win in 3 sets. Incredible seats; good value - purchasing the tickets was a breeze. Unfortunately all these positives were offset by the sheer disorganization of the security team who checked the Fan’s into the venue: no rhyme or method to how the lines were formed. People were storming into the security gates haphazardly. There a few fist fights and lots of shoving and yelling. Very very scary. In the end my group of 5 people waited from 7:12pm to 9pm people we got into the stadium. By then the first set was nearly over. I’m really disappointed I did not get the chance to watch the entire match despite showing up and queuing (security initially had people line up but then chaos ensured) over an hour before the start of the event. I really had hoped to watch both teams warm up - the most personal part of every match. -KC
It was great to finally see teams live in action! I do hope in the future that they would allow the players to have more time to meet their fans for pics or autographs since we love them and been wanting to cheer for them all these years.
Also, the merchandise booth can use more merch and not just basic hoodies and shirts.
The venue was nice for viewing. Needed two additional big screens on the ends to give the crowd in the end zones a viewing screen. There needed to be crowd control ropes to handle the people at the entrance, plus more security lines to speed the process. Concessions were very limited.
The VB was great getting through security was a disaster, it took over an hour and we missed half of the first game.
Had an AMAZING time at the VNL this weekend. The venue itself was very nice and felt very comfortable. For events like this try to plan to arrive at least 1hr ahead of time cause the line can get preeety long and you might even miss the first couple points of the game. Luckily we got there way ahead of time so we were able to find our seats and even get some snacks. All together though, it was a 10/10 experience!!
It was an amazing experience as my first sports game I saw irl especially getting autographs from the Argentina players and getting a picture with Christian Fromm but I wish they had a ball pump and more comfortable seats tbh
