The tickets were put to sale to the public via their website which was easily accessible. Being a huge fan, I bought them directly on the same day. The tickets were affordable; anyone could buy them and enjoy the concert. Some of friends bought it at our local Walmart, where they were also being sold. However, another one of my friends was not able to attend the concert as they were sold out, which was a bummer.

The day finally came. I was quite late, but better late than never. The venue was in a vast park not far from my house. As I arrived, I saw hundreds of people with smiles on their face. The concert started at 8p.m., where Coldplay started performing their famous tracks. It was quite a tiring event; from all the singing and dancing. There was not many variety of refreshment areas, and the few that were available were very crowded, maybe this is something that could be looked upon next time. Overall, the concert was amazing, truly something I’d experience again. 

The artist isn’t very well known, so the concert wasn’t as popular as you would expect a normal concert to be. You would think that this would make the process of buying the tickets easier, right? Well that wasn’t the case for me. The website where I bought the tickets, Ticketmaster, really complicated the whole process. My card was rejected 4 times before it finally worked! 

After the hassle of getting my tickets, I was finally able to attend the concert. The venue was very small and congested- you would have to push your way through a crowd to finally get to your place. Nevertheless, once you get to your designated location and get over the stress, the atmosphere of the venue is remarkable. It was filled with bright lights and special effects that really made the experience more unique and special. 

The concert itself was incredible- it made the whole chaos that came beforehand, worth it. The artist came on time, and everyone has a good time. The area was filled with stress-free people, dancing and having the time of their lives. I made a lot of new friends there too! However, if there was another concert to be planned in the future, they should improve the process and accessibility of buying the tickets. The venue could also be changed to somewhere bigger- maybe the new venue in Shuwaikh could be an option?

The Grand Music Festival Review
 The Grand Music Festival is a concert that is known all around the world, knowing this the tickets where very hard to find.  There were only a limited number of seats for the concert which made it even more difficult for me to get the tickets, but it deserved the wait. 

 

The venue was split into sections, each instrumental family having a section of the large curved stage with the center of the stage being taken by the well renowned orchestra “The Golden Notes”. There where small stores scattered around the whole venue selling food, drinks and memorabilia with some stores selling gear for instruments. 

 

The overall atmosphere was great but there are some critics that I have against the festival. In my opinion the food stands and stores should have their own area or section of the concert grounds and should not block the entrance. Speaking about the entrance there where only three gates to go through with one being very slow; this could be improved by adding an extra gate to the back of the concert ground to lower the fuss at the front gates. Overall a great event never the less. 

Recently I had visited a concert held at my local town centre and before going there didn’t expect it to be much, however it was quite a surprise as the arrangements were great. Being the first time that such a major event was held in my town, almost all the town was keen to experience it and that’s where the problem began. Every day you would have to wait at least an hour just to reach the counter to get your tickets, and on the day of the concert the town hall was absolutely packed with people. There was no space to move around and the only way you could get out was after the concert had ended. 

 

The town hall where this event was hosted was decorated very creatively and was completed with lights, food arrangements and a small stage. Overall, I would say the concert was quite amusing and exceeded everyone’s expectations. However, to improve it next time I think the concert should be held at a larger scale thus more people can attend and whilst doing so to also have a limit on the number of people that can attend based on the size of the venue so that it doesn’t get overcrowded. 

This prestigious and elite concert is held once every month, making it one of the most sought after tickets each season. In normal circumstances, I would’ve never been able to bag myself some tickets. Luckily, the tickets seemed to fall onto my lap, as my cousin had some urgent last-minute business to attend to, leaving his beloved tickets to me! It took him about a 3 months to save up for his tickets.

Second to the performance, the venue was nothing like I’ve ever seen before. From the tall marble stands to the deep plum seats, the exquisiteness of the concert hall left heads turning left and right.

 

According to Sunday newspaper, this will be the “Best concert yet”. Thankfully, this year, I finally got to attend the concert I have been dreaming about ever since I was a little girl. The Mishref Concert was the only concert in Kuwait. Last year, I came so close to purchasing the tickets but alas they were sold at the last minute. I wasted no time this year. I was first in line the second they were available. 

 

Packed to the brim, the venue was overflowing with excitement and liveliness. An old venue (50 yeas old to be exact), yet a magnificent one all the same. Even if the wooden boards were creaky. Memorabilia of all the great artists who have played here before was strung up on the walls. Instead of having chairs to sit on, the only thing accessible was towering columns that you could lean against. 

 

Starting on time, the concert was quite an event. The buildup and anticipation was definitely worth it. Various artists appeared – singing in Arabic and English. A special guest even made an appearance.  

Countless people have been extremely excited to visit one of the most outgoing concerts in the middle east, and one of them were me! Last weekend, I got the opportunity to enjoy concerts in the Kuwait Music Festival (from several talented artists), not so far away from where I live. Doesn’t that sound like a dream? 

Firstly, being able to get decent tickets was impossible; it was even harder using their website! I forced myself to wake up as early as possible, just to be able to get a ticket. You could hear everyone scream behind their screens when it said that there weren’t enough seats. This was a once in a life time situation, and the number of people wishing to go were uncountable. 

My luck was surprisingly perfect, since I got one of the front seats in the concert. Being able to see my favourite artists seemed so unrealistic. The venue was crammed with many other people who were as ecstatic as me, but there wasn’t enough space. If only there were seats… 

Some of the artists performing, such as Ariana Grande, had problems with the microphone. In my opinion, it would’ve been beneficial if the staff fixed this problem before the concert. Finally, many of us were thirsty, so why not add a section where we can buy water?
