"Premier" Camping is a huge rip-off 8/30/2009

Experience from the 8/29/09 Nickelback show. We paid $85 for premier camping which was suppose to include a more private site, shuttle bus service to and from the concert, flushing toilets and showers. We got there mid afternoon and were directed to our "premier" camp spot in the "over-flow" section. This turned out to be exactly like the regular camp sites except further from the concert area. No big deal because of the shuttle bus service, right?? Wrong! A thousand or so of us were lined up where we were told to wait for the bus. Finally one bus showed up, parked at the back of the line and let on some people that had just got in line. After another 1/2 hour of waiting, one of the guys that works there said we would probably be better off to just walk. We walked back from the concert too, since there were no buses in sight when the concert let out. As for the flush toilets, they were located between the regular camping area and the premier camping area. Premier campers were given some stupid wrist band to wear which seemed to have zero impact on who used the flush toilets. Basically we got absolutely nothing extra for our $85 dollars. As we were leaving we tried to speak to someone in charge at the camp services trailer. Naturally he/she was unavailable... All this place does is host concerts with lots of people attending. How can they be so unorganized? It really is incredible. The actual show was great, but the way the concert venue is managed will probably keep me from returning. Pros: beautiful, great sound Cons: Premier camping, unknowlegable & confused staff more
