点评:We went to SEE and hear an artist and did not get that. I had never been, shame
on me for not researching, but really wanted to see him. We had lawn tickets. We arrived 2 hours early and the lawn was completely packed. We ended up with a partial viewing of a screen.
It’s a “pretty” venue, but it’s for artists who do not perform - jazz, pianists, orchestra along those lines. People seemed to attend to socialize, which is fine. Lots of fancy picnics going on, people bring carts full of stuff.
Getting there from the city was easy, leaving was a mess. We left 15 minutes prior to the show ending and still barely made it on the first train most people were taking. It was completely packed, standing room only. People pushing to get on, people with carts and large coolers clogging up the line. Then we sat for about 20 minutes? There was only 1 more train back to the city after that so I guess if everyone can’t fit they have to Uber? I can’t imagine driving.
Artists’ teams need to research this venue as it doesn’t make sense for everyone, especially those that perform.
I also only saw one bathroom for literally thousands of people. I’m sure there were more but I only saw one so I tried not to drink anything to avoid having to go.
The positives - you don’t need to bring chairs if you are coming from the city/out of town. You can rent them which is what we did. I believe you could also rent tables. You can also bring food and drinks. There were drinks and food available, but the lines were long. It looked like there were even a few restaurants? They both also seemed to have very long lines. Not sure how they operated as for as reservations or just wait.
I would not go again or recommend going unless it’s someone you only need to listen to. Or it’s someone not well known so you don't have to deal with the mess of getting out of there.
翻译:我们去SEE音乐厅去观看一位艺术家的演出,但未能如愿。我以前从未去过那里,真惭愧,事先也没做任何功课,但其实我非常想看他演出。我们买的是草坪区的门票。我们提前两小时就到了,可草坪区早已座无虚席。最后我们只能从侧面勉强看到舞台上的屏幕而已。
那个场地倒算“漂亮”,不过它更适合那些不怎么需要现场表演的艺术家——比如爵士乐手、钢琴家或管弦乐团之类的。看来大多数人去那里是为了社交,这也无可厚非。现场有许多人正在举办奢华的野餐呢。人们推着装满东西的手推车前来。
从城里到那里很方便,但离开时却一团糟。我们在演出结束前15分钟出发,却还是勉强赶上了大多数人要乘坐的那班火车。车上挤得水泄不通,只能站着。人们争先恐后地想上车,而那些推着手推车、带着大冷藏箱的人则让队伍更加混乱不堪。然后我们坐了大概20分钟?之后就只有一班火车能返回市区了,所以我想如果所有人都挤不上去,就只能叫Uber了吧?我可想象不出自己开车的样子。
艺人团队需要好好研究一下这个场馆,因为这对所有人来说都不太方便,尤其是对表演者而言。
另外,在成千上万人当中我只看到了一间卫生间。肯定还有更多卫生间,但我只看到了那一间,所以为了不用去上厕所,我尽量什么都没喝。优点:如果你从城里或其他地方赶来,不必自带椅子。可以租用椅子,我们就是这么做的。我觉得也可以租用桌子。此外还能自带食物和饮料。现场确实有食物和饮料出售,但排队的人很多。看起来还有几家餐馆?不过它们的排队队伍也同样很长。不清楚它们是需要提前预订还是只能现场等候呢。我不会再去了,也不推荐别人去,除非对方只是需要你倾听的人。或者对方没什么名气,这样你就不用为如何离开那里而头疼了。
