Worst experience ever. From booking to leaving.
1st off booking with fever.com was a terrible experience. Dozens of emails back and forth led to no resolution to the issues encountered and they didn't care. At one point they said they'd be at the venue on the night but they weren't so i passed on my complaint about fever to the venue. Then the show... this was "vivaldi by candlelight". That's quite a stretch of the facts. In total i counted 13 candles plus 6 led tealights. The church was dominated by ultra bright electric lights and spotlights. I've seen more atmosphere in a bus shelter. The show started promptly at 6 but finished equally promptly at 7pm! Two tickets at nearly £80 for one hour? Really? Hardly value for money. No programme, no toilets, no refreshments, no nothing other than people sitting in a church, coats on, masks on, lights blaring on. Only 1 vivaldi piece was introduced and played though they said there would be 2, what happened to Autumn? In any event a Vilvaldi night with 1 or perhaps 2 pieces is hardly a 'Vivaldi' night..... 13 candles in a large church is hardly a 'candlelight concert' and 1 hour of music with no set dressing or even a programme of events is hardly value for money. I simply can not recommend this in any shape or form. Can i have a refund please?
