Turnpike Troubadours Pittsburgh reviews
Band Amazing, everything else BLEH
First of all, Turnpike Troubadours was AMAZING. I would go see them again! They drew a huge crowd and that's where I think things went south. I would NEVER go to the Westfair Amphitheater again. It's outdoors and it didn't seem like the amplifiers could push the music out to hear really well. They only had 3 beer trucks and I do not exaggerate when I say it was like standing in line for a disney ride to get a beer. The lines at all 3 trucks were INSANE. It was a REAL buzzkill and we were super dehydrated. Finally, it was very difficult to get an uber afterward. We waited over an hour. Didn't want to drink and drive but apparently we could have drove because Westfair made it impossible to drink.
Venue needs help
Overall, the show itself was great! it was the facilities and lack of options and cell service that is going to make me question attending very many shows there in the future. It’s the second show in a row there that the cell service makes it complicated to even pull up your tickets on your phone at times. The lines to the restrooms and concessions are incredibly long all night long and seemed like they hadn't prepared from the show the night before and ran out of beer. I have always enjoyed shows there but anymore it's more of a headache with the amenities throughout the venue that needs serious upgrades.
Venue was horrible
The music was cool as expected. The venue, which I've been to a million times, was horribly unprepared and oversold. The first time I went to get a beer, they only had three kinds of beer left. The next time I went to get a beer, they were completely sold out...everywhere. Same can be said of trying to go to the bathroom, huge lines every time. Whoever thought it was a good idea to sell endless amounts of $20 lawn seats was sorely mistaken. I'm sure the owners of the venue don't care, but I will definitely be thinking long and hard before I ever buy tickets to Azura again. If somebody popular is playing here with 4 other bands and the tickets are cheap, don't go.
