Missy & Kate
by Nette on 9/12/24Peter Lehmann - TanundaRating: 4 out of 5I went to Missy Higgins at Peter Lehmann winery. It was a fantastic show, the performances were amazing, the venue was good but the parking and drop off area and then the subsequent walk to the venue was ridiculous. There must be a better way of handling a large number of attendees. The cost of parking was $30 and then a 1.5km walk to the venue! The LinkSA return bus ticket cost $33 for a 5 minute drive away from Peter Lehmann. The cost of alcohol and food was extremely overpriced and the wait times at the food trucks was excessive, we actually thought the people sitting next to us had left the concert, but they missed the whole first set of Missy Higgins while waiting for food.
Peter Lehmann Wines is a great venue to hold DAY on the Green, but there needs to be a lot more consideration for the people who attend. Maybe a free shuttle service for ticket holders or at least a shuttle bus from the car park. Numbered zones for the car park to help people find their car in the dark after the concert. The drop off and pick up area could have been a lot closer to the actual concert area.
The only area which seemed to run quite smoothly was the bar and that would be because the cost of the alcohol would have discouraged people from purchasing. Seriously $65 for a bottle of sparkling wine!!! It's expensive enough to purchase concert tickets without then being hit again in the hip pocket when you can't BYO.
I would have to very seriously consider whether I would ever go again unless the issues I have raised can be addressed.
