Favorite moment: New Years Countdown with the special message advocating concepts of love, acceptance, creativity, and other virtuous qualities. Super powerful! @

I am overjoyed to be able to write a bit of commentary about POP NYE 12/13!
The night was unforgettable. This was my first time at the Oracle Arena and I was totally blown away!
THE GOOD:
The sound system was amazing, the light show presentations were some of the best I've seen. Security getting in was quick and efficient. The dance floor was properly controlled and never got too crowded so there was always plenty of room to dance. The fact that they legally allowed light-show devices (i.e. gloves, poi, orbitals, etc) was amazing so no one had to sneak them in and we could all enjoy light shows all night! That alone allowed the vibe to naturally escalate to what it did.
Absolutely loved the "Dash Berlin" light up sticks that somehow permeated the entire crowd.
The crowd was excellent. Very positive vibes - unified and smiles all around =)
Betsie Larkin was just okay, in my opinion, but I appreciated her nonetheless. I thought W&W should have closed since they're such a powerful and energetic set but what can ya do hahaha. I LOVE that there was only one stage - it made it much less complicated than when you're shuffling around at a rave between 6+ tents.
The water station system they had was great! I only wish the water bottles had caps so we could remain on the dance floor a bit longer =)
The age span here was anything from younger crowds to older crowds. I saw some older folk (>40) gettin their groove on and, of course, that always makes you smile. I really appreciated how well everyone was able to "do their own thing" but still be a part of this huge experience! So many individuals coming together to be a part of something bigger than any one of us.
BEST THING ABOUT THE EVENT: Other than all the talented DJs, I LOVED the countdown special. The positive and uplifting message in the countdown touched all of our hearts. I feel truly blessed to have taken part in that experience and that beautiful moment.
THE BAD:
The water bottles that you bought weren't allowed to be given with the cap so your water would spill all over the place while dancing and you'd have to leave the event to get water quite frequently which was annoying.
Parking for $35? Are you serious? Way too much money for parking. $20 maximum. Just cause you CAN charge that much doesn't mean you should.

POP NYE was organized really well without any major problems for me or my friends. The venue was comfortable, clean, ventilated nicely, and accommodating to such a large crowd.

The staff at the event were really nice, friendly, and helpful. I appreciated that especially given that they were working New Years Eve.
The sound system was a little disappointing. I could hear distortion at points. The vocal singer was definitely not as clear as I expect live to be. Just goes to show, Music in a Gymnasium, can't expect a whole lot better.
Also, they could have coordinated the 'light display' over the central videos better. Most times it showed the DJs, which is fine. Sometimes it would be blank. A waste and could have improved the view of the light show for those of us on the sides.
Overall, the atmosphere was fun, friendly, and happy.

The lineup was amazing and beautifully timed. The sound quality was rich and the light show was incredible. But the upstairs bars shut down early, and there were very few places to get water.

Great lineup, my favorites were Above & Beyond, Dash Berlin, and Andy Moor.
I sat in the upper level. In the beginning I felt like I was watching the party instead of being in it. got better as more people showed up, stood up instead of just sitting and watching.

Great atmosphere, the venue is very nice. Was never to hot or cold inside and the upper seating was great for taking a rest, loved it. Only downside was the dance floor getting shut down so soon and not being able to get in at all. Other than that great event all around, would love to go again.

I bought the general admissions ticket witb all of my other friends hoping that we can go freely on the dance floor and back to the seats. Unfortunately they closed off the floor at around 06:30 pm preventing attendees from leaving the floor and coming onto the floors. This is a big hazard with this is that people on the floor can't leave the area to get water, usr the restroom or even sit down knowing that there is no entry. People up at the chairs can't go down to dance. We were entitle to go anywhere we please and with these restrictions we lost the rights to do anything. Also it was useless to split up the level with general admission and upper level when the people holding the upper level tickets were also receiving wristbands. This was unfair to me and was also unfair to.my friends who paid full price for the general admissions to have all of the benefits just to be let down and be denied. I would like to have service for this or I will be forwarding this to the bbb.
