Long overdue review for Float Fest, but wanted to add my two cents on this local event…read more I had the opportunity to attend Float Fest with a group of people and was initially surprised by the fact that this was now a ticketed event. Many moons ago, this was a free event for the community. And though there weren't food and drink options as far as I remember, the concept was the same where you could view the floats up close. I consider this to be the major issue with event. $25+ entry and no real value added to the experience for that price. However, the creativity and craftsmanship continues to amaze me. Many volunteers come together each year to create such memorable works of art that are seen across the world. It seems that my float viewing days will be in the past, but for international visitors I can definitely see the appeal of the event.

I've gone to Float Fest for the past 2 years and have had a great experience rain or shine! I look…read moreforward to seeing the hard work up close of these floats. The floats are incredible to see up close with all the detail between the grains and the flowers used. You can easily spend a couple hours there and they have merch and food stalls and live music! It's custom to see the staff at each float and get a card and getting all the cards creates like a puzzle. I have not had the patience to do that but would be a fun activity with kids!

No reviews??!! Ok, so years ago before becoming a loyal Variety customer, I used to pop in to…read moreseveral ticket agencies to check for ticket prices and never got service as good as Variety. Many males didn't seem to take to the idea that because I am a woman, I was asking for sporting events. So that's where our relationship started (me and Variety that is!!) I have been a loyal customer for many years and have referred tons of people for all their ticket needs. Many of my co-workers have been happy and are repeat customers. It is a family owned business and they treat each individual as their own family. I love going someplace where everybody knows my name. I have been to countless sporting events (mostly basketball and baseball) but not football (YUK) and a few concerts and plays, all tix I bought at Variety. They have higher end tickets, you know, not any locations where the birds sit. Their seats are pretty close and they have good prices. I just popped in today to check for Laker tix and might go to the game tomorrow. Located in Downey, plenty of parking. Their website address is http://www.variety-tickets.com/ I ALWAYS deal with Chris, Tammy or Rene!!!

I have not been to Universal Horror Nights in 6 years and had been dying to go back. After a couple…read moreof years of convincing my easily-spooked, scary boyfriend, he finally agreed. I was also able to convince his sister and her family to join us. We decided to make a full day of it and bought Universal Studios access starting at 2 p.m. So glad we did because it was crowded. We managed to get on several rides before horror nights began and a few during the evening . We got on Transformers, Mario Kart World, The Simpsons Ride, The Mummy, and Flight of the Hippogriff. The longest we stayed in line was probably 35 to 45 mins. Around 5 p.m., we started the mazes and actually got through all of them (Terrifier, Poltergeist (maybe my favorite), Fallout, Monstruos 3: The Ghosts of Latin America, Terror Tram: Terror Tram: Enter the Blumhouse, Jason Universe, The Horrors of The Wyatt Sicks (really liked this one too), Scarecrow: Music by Slash, Five Nights at Freddy's) by the end of the night. It was super fun, but the crowds were intense. Jason's maze was listed as a one-hour wait, but it ended up being over two hours. It got so bad that several people in line passed out, and medical staff had to come help. Standing in line for that long really killed my mood. My legs and feet hurt. To make matters worse, once inside the maze, it was so packed that the jump scares often happened to the group ahead of us, not us. But it was fun to see my boyfriend hide behind me scared lol. Overall, it was still a fun night and worth the trip. Going as a group made the real difference because we laughed and had fun together. I would return, but next time, I won't stress about doing every maze. I'm not standing in line for two hours again. The Universal Studios app really helped with picking mazes that had the shortest lines first.

This was my first visit to the Long Beach Terrace Theater to see Joe Satriani and Steve Vai touring…read moretogether as the SatchVai band. The venue has its own multi-story parking lot which is very easy to access, and only charges $15. We arrived thirty minutes before the show, and there was no line to enter the parking lot with many parking spaces available. After a very short walk across the garage and going up a one-story staircase (there is also an elevator), we were on the ground level with the theater. Unfortunately, you have to walk all the way around the large fountain area to reach the security checkpoint and entrance. There was no line and we passed through quickly. Luckily, after the show, you could walk directly to the garage without having to go around again. The theater seats around 3,000 people and has floor, loge, and balcony sections. It is very clean and has a modern feel. The main lobby is spacious and has high ceilings. There are bars on all levels, and some basic food items downstairs. There were also a few food and drink spots in front outside. The concert hall has very high ceilings and is also very modern. We sat on the floor in the second row. The seats were padded and comfortable, and the spacing between adjacent seats and between rows was good. The view of the performers was amazing. There was a large projection screen behind the stage, with various video playing throughout the show. There was some fog on the stage, and the lighting was good, but nothing exceptional. Sitting so close is great for pictures and videos, and you're oblivious to the other 2,900 people in the theater. It almost feels like you're getting a private performance. However, the sound can be hit or miss depending on the performers' preferences and venue's audio setup. The main speaker arrays here hang directly over the first few rows in front of the stage. For the opening band, we couldn't hear any of the guitars at all. Joe played almost completely through his on-stage amps only and the sound was perfect. Steve's mix was half through his amps and half through the main speaker arrays. We could hear his guitar, but not nearly as well as Joe's. It's not the venues fault, the sound is usually optimized for the majority of the theater, and the first few rows may suffer. The opening band was Animals As Leaders. I've seen them a few times over the years as an opener for Steve Vai. They are an instrumental guitar focused band with the unique characteristic that both guitarists use eight-string guitars which gives them a unique sound. Joe Satriani and Steve Vai started out the main show together. They are two of the greatest rock guitar legends to ever play. They played a few original songs together that they co-wrote, followed by both individual and joint performances of a dozen of their popular songs. Steve's unique three-neck Hydra guitar made an appearance. There was also an encore with cover versions of Rock and Roll and Born to be Wild. I've seen Joe 25 times and Steve seven times, and I'll continue to go to every show when they are in town. In between the opening band and the main show, we immediately went to use the ground level restrooms which are downstairs. The lines were already extremely long. On a whim, we went upstairs and the restrooms on both sides initially had very short lines. After only five minutes, the upstairs lines also started to get long. Go upstairs fast and you should have a much shorter wait. The show was great and I really liked the venue. It's modern, clean, and comfortable, with various amenities. The sound mix was a mixed bag sitting in front, but it wasn't the venue's fault. If you want the best chance of a good sound mix, don't sit up front. Parking was very convenient and very affordable. I would definitely come see a show here again. 4.5 stars rounded up to 5.

I attended the long beach grand prix performance concert which Lupe FIASCo performed on Friday…read more04.17.2026 @6:30pmsh. It was an outside concert. The thing that stood out was the nice courtyard decor of water fountains. The vibe radiated as the fountains were sparkling, giving the ambiance of a fresh cool entertainment settimg. The outside really looks cool at night because of the lighting structure. I have been here many times before. Experiencing both indoor and outdoor venue entertainment. Just to name a few.. Jokoy, air supply, 90s old school R&B funk jam , Franki Valli and the list goes on. Its not very big inside, in comparison to Crypto or the inglewood forum but it does its job. Stadium seating could use some work if they decide to remodel in the future. Its a clean place with great acoustics. The only negative thing I have to say is the sale of alcoholic beverages! The venue shuts down completely early. Like 9pmsh! Unacceptable for an entertainment venue. I recommend watching concerts or any type of events in this area. Plenty of parking in the parking structure and surrounding businesses nearby. Long Beach is beautiful.

Been using VIP since the early 90's, never ever disappointed with the service they provideread more
