MONSTER JAM 2023

Very disappointed and all the guys that were driving know that talk about a lame show you guys laid back big time for what reason I have no idea I've been going to these shows for a long time and this was probably the worst one I've seen , also the setup for pit passes that we did really sucked compared to what we used to do lines are way too long you guys trying to micromanage really sad was definitely not worth the money p.s you drivers should be ashamed of yourself she never put money in front of a show. Maybe y'all should retire and get some new blood.

THE SCHOTT WAS THE WORST

After spending almost $1000 to take my grandkids to monster jam I must say that I was extremely disappointed in the show. Not many trucks, no race, and no freestyle. I will never return to this venue. My grandkids are monster jam nuts and we follow to many different arena and this was by far the worst. Save your money and go to the Nutter center. Still a small show, but at least a show. Very disappointed!!!!

MY KID LOVES TRUCKS, TRACTORS, ETC AND EVEN HE WAS BORED

It's boring. So boring. Sooo boring. Monster trucks are interesting things to look at for about 2 minutes, for kids, try 1.5 minutes. There's nothing for them to do. You hit ramps, turn around, hit more ramps. Do that one trick...do it again...again...and the the pacing. My god the pacing is glacial.

BIG LET DOWN

I went to Monster Jam as a kid for years (i am only 32 now). Even as a female who doesn't understand vehicles, I enjoyed it. So I planned a whole weekend getaway around this event for my daughter's (13 yr and 10yr). Spent over $1000 on the weekend (tickets for almost $400 for a family of 4.) Thank God, my kids couldn't compare it to the shows I grew up watching so they were still content but bored. I was completely embarrassed for talking up MJ to my kids. Only one dirt pile, 5 trucks, and 3 motorbikes, were at this show. It also seems more centered around little boys aged 2 to 6 now because of the ads, boomerang throwing guy, and the toy give away. It was a more mature show when I was a kid and teen. This was a one and done experience for my family. Hopefully it was just due to the small arena. Purchase tickets at your own risk.

ROGER PLACE - NOT A FAN

Having this outdoors at commonwealth made way more sense. Tightly packed in and couldnt do much. Loud because of the building, and the exhaust fumes really built up and gave my 5 year old a headache by the end. I wont be back if its held at rogers place again.

RINKY DINK VENUE RUINED EVERYTHING

Saw the show on Saturday, 09-09-2023. Gas South Arena is an "arena," not a stadium (I'm learning and wasn't aware of the difference prior to now). Super stoopid small. Basically trucks could only run at 1/4 capacity. Very disappointing and very boring and lots of working/manipulating the crowd due to the natural lack of engagement. I contacted Feld Entertainment to complain, they were completely unapologetic and said the show sold out. We were a group of four, the three or four seats next to us were empty as well as about 10-15% of the rest of the arena. At this point I'm not sure even going to a stadium would be worth it. Lots of complaints about the stinginess/metered approach of Monster Jam where $ seems to be everything.

DISAPPOINTING AT BEST

A few routine Jumps to run over 4 or 5 cars. A lot of gill time. The best show was in the middle where 3 motocross bikers jumped a ramp and did aero stunts. That was the best in 2 and half hours. Saw monster truck events on YouTube. Puts this show to shame. The DCU is a relatively small venue. Maybe they need a bigger arena outdoors on sand or mud.
