Ace Fest was boring

I drove an hour outside of Los Angeles to Lancaster, California for the ACE Family official event, Ace Fest. Advertised as "Coachella meets Disneyland", it was speculated to be a scam from the moment it was announced. They promised too much too soon, and the overall "fest" was pretty underwhelming. I spent my whole day there, let's talk about it.

My feeling is, if you're gonna sell tickets at premium prices, then the only unique attraction CANNOT simply be a meet and greet with you. To have everything they went through with the pricing, and the claims of selling out, or selling thousands of tickets... and then draw such small crowds is ridiculous. I know most people were in line for huge chunks of the day, but I really can't at any point say I believe there were more than 1000 people there attending the event at any point. I really don't see how they made any money from this.

[@Art7220]

They should've at least had a booth where you could get pictures and they would do it for an hour or so, then had the meet and greet later on.

[@penedrador]

As far as I understand they piggybacked another event and shared this day. This way they could have saved a lot of money

[@medea27]

If their past events are anything to go by, the McBrooms will make sure _they_ get money out of it... even if they have to leave everyone else out-of-pocket to do so. I genuinely hope they don't screw over the small vendors this time.

[@Not_Always]

They were also sharing the lot with an art festival I believe. It's pretty embarassing.

[@Texaslife98]

If everyone there paid $100.. the least they would have made would be around $100k. Now imagine if most paid for VIP (seems to be the standard for most big families).. then they would have made half a million ($500k). Definitely was a reason they did it this way.

Those mega slides are fun as hell. But this is just..I have no words. I used to go to the LA County Fair every year, and I would only buy single tickets for rides that I would want to go on because I don't trust fair/carnival rides. I would never pay 400+ dollars to go to this sad excuse of a "festival"

[@tinydream]

KZbin randomly recommended you prob cuz I love commentary channels like yours. And I’m happy it did cuz you are awesome and happy to have found your stuff!

[@alexandramcginnis8872]

This reminds me of my school’s popular sporting week without the rides. And we had a concert. And it cost $0 except for admission to the sport event.

[@Swell_Simps_United]

Is anyone else UwU to let Swell park for free at the ticket parking thing? 🥺

[@justanotherperson8538]

What do u mean?

[@A1_Deb]

What?...

[@oldmanyaoi_enjoyer]

@@A1_Deb your pfp makes this so much funnier 😭

There's a really chaotic MLP convention I think you should check out, I was asked to be a guest last year despite not being in the fandom at all, it was a big disorganized mess and it feels right up your alley. It's called Ponyville Ciderfest and it's held in Milwaukee in October.

[@Nothing.nobody.]

I saw you met def noodles and i was so surprised. It was like two world's colliding.

[@thejacksonfamily8787]

They definitely moved! Someone who lives in area said they’re officially out and that was last week, also Catherine said new video was coming soon and used the 🏡 Emoji.

[@Marxnchill]

Get one of those pet carriages! I have one it’s amazing for bringing groceries in the house. I take my cat on walks with it too sometimes lol

[@lysacarter6707]

Could you please continue your commentary/videos on the Courtship dating show? All the episodes are available on peacock now (I think). I started watching the show again because I came across your video. Let me just say - it gets even better after episode 2. It's quickly becoming one of my favorite reality dating shows.

[@Dsmky117]

interesting to see Austin is staying in his lane and putting on kid's carnivals instead of boxing matches

[@WooHooCelery]

My little town recently held a gala that had more attractions than the Ace Fest and it was all free. I am honestly amazed the Ace family actually did put their event together and it wasn’t a complete scam, but it certainly doesn’t look even remotely close to how it was advertised.

[@cassy420blaze]

Major props to you for going through this. New subscriber.

[@pinkdarkman]

They had an outside carnival event for children in the desert and they weren't allowing outside food or drink?? I don't have kids, but every parent of small children I've ever known brings, at minimum, some water and a baggie of snacks that they know their kid will eat when they're just going to the grocery store. I can't imagine taking a child to an event ran by a KZbinr and trusting them to provide sustenance.

[@paintthecosmos840]

I'm imagining some poor asexual person horrifically misunderstanding what this was and showing up expecting an ace-focused pride event

[@lilmzlondon]

This is my second video of your ours and i love both of them - you do a great job as reviewer

[@amartru]

as long as they’ve been popular on YT, i never understood the hype around them. this was very interesting to watch from a non fan perspective, thank you!

[@chelsea4728]

naming the horse PESTILENCE. LMAO

[@xoluciaxo_3721]

Yo why did i think this was gonna be Ace Fest, as in Asexual?😂

[@andromeda1515]

That horse has seen some better days goddamn

[@d_eexe]

I don't understand how you can throw an event that is pure narcissism and just not realize

[@Tazzie1312]

Also my town has 1500 people and we have an annual festival. There's a petting zoo, live music, food trucks, events... and it's free. This was kind of sad tbh.

[@DDWilliamsYT]

Thank you for providing this type of video. I know drama channels tend to overdue their reactions to things but I wanted a person who went and wasn't going to attack every little thing. Thank you :)

[@KevimationYT]

I’m kinda glad this was an ace family event. When I saw the title I was worried it was an asexual festival that didn’t go well. Great video tho! Love seeing you go to events like this and your coverage.

[@RN-ft9vb]

Wait… why was Austin yelling “F you “ at the end 😂😂 very all aged event lol

[@TheCooltboy]

Hahha the F Gib chant aged well didn't it 🤣🤣🤣

[@Chelseabee55]

Commenting for the algorithm so Amanda can get her as revenue. She deserves it for this one.

[@baikeiast5255]

I'm using adblock hahahah🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@shannsimms9072]

Wow this is like a really shady shoddy looking carnival

[@lollipoplemur5073]

“I expected it to be a shit show why do you think I went!?” 🤣🤣🤣
