00:09the overall experience was good communication with the ticket seller was good they managed
00:16to accommodate my sister's booking which was made three months after mine and got her a ticket in
00:21the same row as me having seen reviews about the poor organization of the free transport provided
00:28i opted to take a grab taxi direct from my hotel to the venue which worked well on arrival i
00:34obtained
00:35a wristband for the return free transport from the information center and enter the site there
00:41were lots of activities some of which you had to pay for but nothing expensive maybe 100 bought
00:47we headed to the food section at around 5 p.m and managed to get a good place to sit
00:54down and eat
00:55we had standard tickets and seating was on the ground on plastic sheets covered with mats and
01:00cushions with small tables there was a huge selection of food and all was tasty and well cooked
01:07the toilets were not very clean but sufficient after eating we headed over to the main event area
01:14seats were easy to find and there were stewards on each row to help the show itself was spectacular
01:21with monks chanting and lasers and holograms projected onto the big pagoda in the center of the arena
01:27then came the time to release the lanterns which was absolutely magical and beyond what i expected
01:35unfortunately the free transport to the drop-off points was very poorly organized
01:40we left the site at 9 p.m to go to a van and it took 45 minutes to an
01:47hour to get on transport to
01:48the night bazaar and then unfortunately the driver did not take everybody to the night bazaar
01:54he stopped one kilometer away and we all had to walk which was very inconvenient
01:59this however is not the ticket seller's fault
02:03it is cad the organizer's fault
02:06all in all i would purchase from this ticket seller again and also attend the cad yipeng lantern festival again
02:14i would have rated this a one if the sky lantern had not been as great
02:19when i bought the ticket there was only one price option
02:23i picked the pickup location at a shopping center
02:26i then received a confirmation that included a hotel with the word delete in front with shopping center pickup location
02:34as there was only one price option
02:37it's logical to conclude that the price included the shopping center pickup location
02:42the local tour operator messaged i only had one pickup location at more space
02:48hundreds of ticket holders had to wait for ancient buses without any air conditioning under the burning sun
02:55for hours to get on an ancient bus and traveled in it for more than two hours to the site
03:00no real line to get on the ancient buses
03:03if you plan to go
03:05get either vip or premium ticket
03:08the tickets are no refundable so don't expect any service and expect ruthness
03:15organization and transportation need improvement
03:18there were no signs on site
03:20and we had to search for a long time before finding our transport in the crowd
03:25the buffet was okay
03:27and the lantern release was magnificent
03:30the return trip was atrocious
03:32with a three-hour wait in the rain
03:34our shoes and clothes were completely ruined because the ground was so muddy
03:39it was impossible to walk in sandals or anything else
03:42there were no signs indicating the return route
03:46everyone was looking for their transport vehicles
03:49and there weren't enough transfers for the standard fares
03:52we had to wait three hours barefoot on the wet grass
03:56better organization of transportation is needed
04:00along with more clear signs
04:02as the standard fares weren't displayed at all
04:05and the few organizers there sent us running around without knowing where to go
04:10as well
04:10go
04:10go
04:10You
