Taste of Brickell

You have to pay for admission and then purchase tickets for $ 1 a piece in order to purchase food/​drinks?
VIP is the way to go… they give you several tickets for food & free booze in the VIP tent.
I was given a free ticket… thank goodness because I would have been upset if I paid for this!

If I could rate this event negative stars I would. Embarrassingly disorganized event. Long, snaking lines with a minimum wait time of 30 minutes per booth. At least half of the restaurant booths shut down half-​way through, around 7pm. Beer ran out early. Mixed drinks were $ 6 and were so artificially-​sweet that it was nauseating and had to be thrown away. Portions of food were teeny-​tiny, people were miserable. This event was definitely oversold as it ran on various deal sites and I over heard plenty of people saying «I’m going to tell Living Social I want a refund!» Ridiculous wait for scrawny pieces of fried food. Meatballs for Cordon Bleu booth were inedible. Very disappointing event. People were literally giving their paid tickets away so they could leave — the lines were soooo long. Shame on the event planners — they should offer mass refunds to all!
