WOW, a lot of comments about cheap beer...if you want cheap beer stay home, trust me you will save a lot of money that way. I come to Summerfest for the live music and nothing ruins that quicker than a drunk dumbass. You want to make it better, bring in better bands, bring in bands that are currently making albums, stagger the times the ... See Moreheadliners play, bring back Pat McCurdy. Doesn't seem like Summerfest without him and the comedy acts. Look at what the other festivals are doing, Lolla in Chicago, the Hair bands out in Oklahoma, and the country festivals. You bring the good bands to Milwaukee and we will bring our dollars, really is that simple.

Have the bands geared toward us middle-agers start earlier, like at 8:30/9:00 versus at 10:00 -- especially on weeknights. At our age, we have the $$ to spend, and we're happy to spend it, but we're also working the next day (which is why we have the $$ in the first place) and a 10:00 show gets to be a little late on a "school night."

Megan Ranae

more free stuff

Survey was easy and fun and I highly recommend it for the 2 free tickets it's totally worth it! Whoo hoo! One day covered 11 to go!

Jeanne

Alexander - Shinedown has barely had any hits ???? Every song they played has had airtime !! That stage was way too crowded, I believe they might have had more room at the "rock" stage ..... where they had some real bad lineups this year.

Yeah, I know, I'll for sure take the survey. I love surveys !

October 2 at 3:07pm

Erik

John McCarthy

I travel from Florida each year so the only thing I would say is fill up the beers the way it's supposed to be done in Milwaukee.

October 2 at 3:53pm

Cara Lynn Foster

Yeah, Pat McCurdy & the Violent Femmes... two of my all-time local favorites! Cheaper food & drink... free admittance... closer/cheaper/safer/more abundant parking and faster traffic routes. ~Cha-ching!

Summerfest is horrid, and has been such for a few years. There are few artists that peek my interest, moreover there are so many drunk and high teenagers....it's hard to enjoy the music you came there for. Summerfest used to be great....now, not so much. Rather not at all!

October 2 at 4:14pm

Jeanne

I go every year, at least a few times each year. I have never come across a drunk/high teenager. Not to say they aren't there ..... but I wouldn't paint that type of picture.

October 2 at 4:24pm

Gina

JJ Grey & Mofro. Or Marc Broussard....Or both!

October 2 at 4:38pm

Thanks to this survey, opening day is going to be packed, can't wait.

I filled out the survey, but you do not offer a blank space for comments such as these. SO........
I feel admission tickets are quite fair for a day at the fest.

Why on earth did you dump Sprecher Brews a couple years ago ? Leinie's is ok, but Miller - blechhh. I know you have Lakefront and Water Street, but they bring the same 'ol same 'ol every year. How about something from Rock Bottom or Milwaukee Ale House ????
... See More
I agree that crowd control would benefit from staggering band start / end times. If you have two bands of similar genre playing on 2 different stages, how about staggering them? Too often I want to see 2 bands but they start at the same time.

Seems some bands keep being put at a stage too small for their draw potential. This makes for a lot of overcrowding. EX: Shinedown - 2 years in a row at the Cell One stage.....packed like sardines. Over at the Potawatomi Rock Stage (which has higher capacity, right ?) was 1/2 empty.

October 3 at 6:37pm

Selena Helmers

Bring: Shiny Toy Guns, Cute is What We Aim For, Lifehouse, Secondhand Serenade, Fall Out Boy, The Killers, Scene Aesthetic, Jack Johnson...2010!

October 3 at 8:43pm

Brandon McCarthy

MGMT, Iglu & Hartly, Foo Fighters, Green Day, Linkin Park, Three Days Grace, Carolina Liar again, and The Killers!!!

October 6 at 1:15pm

Shawn Wilhelmi

I agree Green Day and Linkin Park would be huge!!!! Also Lady Gaga!!!

October 6 at 2:17pm

Carl Roseberry

I would like to see more local brewers added to the beer line up. follw me on twitter mug89

Jayson Keuler

i love summerfest but the rules this year got a little ridiculous. i remember walking through the entrance and hearin the guy say the rules. and then i heard him say "no kites".... really. i mean seriously. lighten up a bit.

October 18 at 10:36pm

Jimbo Stew

Basshunter!
the techno stage was cool, though personally i disliked the music being played. Get a big techno act like Basshunter or Cascada or DJ Manian to come...the turnout would be much bigger than youd expect, definitely way more than the techno this year, which even with its low quality had a decent amount of people
