Billboard Music Awards

It would have been nice to be able ty see the background and the performers when they were standing on the platform

It was an amazing experience that I will never forget! So much fun and a great concert.

This was my first award show and i was not disappointed. It was very exciting being in the audience and the energy was amazing!!!

Outdid the Grammys this year. Many great performances, some who were unexpected. Didn't realize this show had so many award categories, of course barely half were announced on tv. They should keep this show going and not take it away again, because I enjoyed this one.

Loved the billboard awards Vegas style!!!! Great show, great acts, great sound!

It was exciting. Next time i will get better tickets. It was something I will remember for ever it was that cool, WOW! What an exciting thing to see. Now that i have seen this i will be seeing it from now on. It was Amazing, exciting, just a wonderful event. To bad it is on a Sunday. I wanted to go out on the town but I had to work the next day. Now I know for the next time.

The show was excellent and I would recommend it again.

The show was great - lots of surprises with joint performances. Good to see the recipients were in attendance.

Black eyed peas were superb!!! Justin Bieber is so tiny in person! Was Bono drunk or high ? Neil Diamond rocked the house!!

We have been to the Billboard Awards about 4 other times before and was sad when they stopped the show. I was really excited when I heard on the radio that it was coming back this year (I hope they are here to stay). The show was amazing this year. It is relly hard to pick a favorite, but I loved Rihanna and Brittney Spears. I wish Brittney was on stage longer though. Black Eyed Peas and Beyonce was awesome too. Neil Diamond is outstanding.

Billboard Music Awards was awesome, but for what I paid for my tickets I'd at least like to see the faces of the people on stage.....and the monitors up in the sky were so small and hidden half the time I didn't know what I was looking at. I paid for mid range tickets and that was still to far away. if I ever go again I will def invest more money for closer seats

Billboard Awards were good. Wish I could have heard the host and awards sections of the show, but most all the performances were awesome.

The arena was small so ALL the seats were great! The way it was set up with mostly performances and a few awards with short speeches was fantastic. The night flew by. Beyonce's performance was the most amazing thing I have ever seen. To see all of those stars one right after the other was a jaw dropping experience. I still can't believe you were able to get all of those people to that one event. There were no long breaks or boring spots. Limiting the hosts talk time was great. Limiting the speeches was great. The audience is really there to see the performances and see as many stars as we can in one night and you did it. Best show I have ever seen and we will do everything we can to go back every year. Holding these shows in Las Vegas is the best choice because everyone can make a weekend out of Vegas!

THE EVENT WAS REALLY NICE, EVERYTHING ORGANIZED, MY SEATS WERE PERFECT I COULD SEE EVERYTHING, AND THERE WERE REALLY GOOD PERFOMANCES, I ENJOY A LOT THE SHOW! BEYONCE WAS THE BEST PERFORMANCE!

Wish they had big screens for the people who sat higher up. It was a very good show anyway.

Had the time of my life!!! A great show with amazing talent! I have to say I was amazed at how hard the production people worked during the show.

AMAZING! Loved every second! Great seats, great everything! Would go back in a hearbeat!

The actual event was awesome. Some incredible, great acts! What would have been better? If Jennifer Lopez and Lady Gaga showed up as announced and if U2 actually performed instead of just showing a video and accepting their award. The show could have done without Nicki Manaj, Ne-Yo, Lil Wayne as I had no idea what they were singing anyway!!

The show was incredible. It had a lot of surprises that you don't even know till you are actually there. First, Britney and Rihanna, then an exciting performance of Beyonce, then seeing U2 receive an award. Just amazing really.

Great performers could not believe the stage was unbelievable. The MC was to lackluster.

I love how the whole setup is not too big, I had pretty good seats and was able to view everything.

I can not still believe that I saw MADONNA! She was looking amazing...The arena was very convenient to watch although you sat on the back rows.

For the price, the whole event was well worth the money. Acoustics were great and the entertainment was stellar.

This was the BEST concert I've ever been too. You got to see so many famous people, and all the top singers for the year. Plus the performances were amazing.

Just a thrilling time for me. The atmosphere was exciting, and I liked how the announcer pump up the audience before the show went live. I enjoyed all the performances, especially Cee-Lo Green and LMFAO! I just wished the celebrities had came into the lobby after the show for pictures. I truly had a great time!!

This was a once in a lifetime event......to be able to see all of these artists on one stage was incredible for me and my wife. Please bring this event back next year so we can make it twice in a lifetime!!!!!

Fantastic Music Fest... just wished had closer seats. Bad thing was didn't get a chance to catch red carpet when everyone was coming in. Had to go in..

This show was incredible! The energy in the arena was off the charts- from start to finish. Will definitely try to see it again, hopefully better seats next time.

Awesome time! so many great performers all on one stage!

That show was absolutely amazing! We had a great time, seats were at the back but center section. And thank you ticketmaster for the 2 for 1 drinks voucher that I got with the tickets:) We really had a blast! Can't wait for next year's show!!:)) The only think I was disappointed with was that Lady Gaga did not get any awards?!? She's the biggest star now so that made no sense to me. Other than this - 5 stars!

I paid to see Britney live and they show me a video! I'm so angry and sad. Because i traveled from Chile to see the show.

Great Show , was very fast paced and well produced. Sound and viewing angles were excellent

Good show but bad Tickets. We did not see much of the show, because the seat Ticketmaster assigned us were very bad.

I treated my son who is getting into the music field in college and of course myself a great lover of all music. We had such a good time we are thinking of making this a yearly tradition. What a show, so much fun.

This was my first award show, and it was pretty awesome! For the price, it was a great deal to see all the performers and celebrities in one place. Looking back, I would pay more to be closer though. Be warned, not all performances are live. For this event, Britney and Iggy was pre-recorded. We were all very disappointed. Also, didn't feel like there were enough actual awards given. The majority of the show was performances.

There was no entertainment for live audience during commercial breaks (boring!) Half of the audience was unable to see the Michael Jackson hologram performance because of the positioning of stage (VERY disappointing).

Had the time of my life. Check the bucket list. Done

The production values were terrible...The audio was terrible.

They advertised that Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus would be there, but both were touring and only sang on video. They had a tiny screen that was hard to see for these performances. In addition, the Michael Jackson 3d event that was hyped up, wasn't even visible from our seats as the stage was behind the audience, so that only certain people were able to see it. The sound level was really low as well, hard to hear performances and speakers. All in all, for the price we paid for the tickets, it wasn't worth it at all.

Overall, the awards were entertaining. I did think that the price was a bit high, especially since the seats were not that great. Also, I was HIGHLY disappointed with all of the advertisement of the Britney and Iggy performance which wasn't live at all! Hello! Britney didn't even have a show that night! Good try though. It was definitely something that you need to see at least once in your life, but would I go again if I had the chance? Probably not.

It was so different from what you normally see on TV. I highly recommend going at least once!!

The MGM Garden Arena was awesome. We had seats that were very high, but could still see everything on stage and on the large monitors. The sound was incredible and they added to the fun by providing bracelets that lit up to make patterns of light across the crowd. Very fun, not to mention that the performances were fantastic!

Seeing the set changes was amazing. However, the Michael Jackson set was in the back, and there was no informing of this upon ticket purchase

This is my first time attending the Bill Board Music awards. It was cool but what I didn't like was that on the TV ads as well as the brochure they were handing out at the event stated that Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry were going to perform......NOT!! They were both touring in another country and videos of their concert were played instead...smh. There were also a lot of lag time between performances. I was also disappointed in the Michael Jackson tribute because anyone sitting on the sides were not able to view it. Only people sitting on the floor were able to see it and that was also awkward for them to view because they would have to stand and look behind them because their chairs were facing the opposite direction...smh. I was seated in the section right above floor level and paid $350 per seat and that was still not a good view!!

I have attended several Billboard Award shows. They are always fun and exciting with one surprise after another. I always felt like part of the party. Not this time. The only surprise was how much we were NOT included. The audience might have been more involved had we known Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry would not be appearing. We all knew Michael would not be there but he was there as much as Katy and Miley. The guy trying to psych the crowd was a bomb. Ludicrass?sp was not a good host. The screens were not showing several presenters so we were in the dark as to who and where they were speaking. Michael Jackson was such a supreme talent that no one can (or should) try to present his work with any success. Leave him alone. Unless there is some work that is truly Michael, it only minimizes his art. He should have been honored and embraced more when he was alive. He has been called back to God and we can't have him any longer. The family needs to let him be.

For sitting up in the high level at the cost, it was worth the price of admission. However I would not pay anything more than the $100/seat to see this event. Pros: The performances were awesome with the exception of Britney (off-site) and Kanye (pyros made it hard to see). Britney did her performance down the street which was a huge disappointment. It looked great and sounded good but why? Iggy was already on-site why not bring a smaller scale to the venue. Kanye ending the show was a poor choice by BBMA. His set made it impossible to see him peform and I heard on TV that it was the same thing. They should have ended it with the Imagine Dragons tribute to BB King who passed a couple days earlier. Other than that the performances were great. The commerical breaks were decent. I've heard in the past they didn't do anything but this time they played old performances which was cool to see. Them announcing who was next was also cool to know. Cons: The view from the seat of the big screens kind of disappointing as there were slight obstruction (section 204). They didn't always que up the screen fast enough for the audience to see who was talking or even when people were walking out to the stage. People on TV can see it, why not the audience, especially those who have to look up to the big screens. Overall: The sound quality in the venue was great. I didn't mind sitting in the upper level as long as i could see and hear what was going on. I can't comment on the food/beverages because I didn't bother looking. I figure they would be the normal over-priced amounts you normally see at venues that put on shows/sporting events, etc. They should really tell you who is performing live on-site or off-site. Granted only one performace was done off-site, it would been cool to have known that. It was a once in a life-time opportunity to see the show and it was great too see, especially the artist who decided to perform (Meghan Trainor/John Legend, Van Halen, Kelly Clarkson, Mariah, Hoizer, Pitbull/Chris Brown, Nicki, Tori Kelly, Imagine Dragons, etc...even Kanye). Such a treat to see all of them in one night even if it's a short set for each of them. I recommend going if you never been. I won't go again unless it's a year I'm in Vegas again and there's a list just like this one that can't be missed. I mean come on, a tribute to Breakfast Club...that was an awesome performance!

We loved it -- the performances were fantastic. The biggest downer was the audience -- particularly in our section. We were bullied by "old" ladies that preferred to watch a show as opposed to enjoy the concert performances. Only when other fans stood to participate, did they lay off. Sad that the host has to encourage the audience to stand for great performances to be sure the camera got its shot as opposed to the audience getting involved on its own. When the VIPs (i.e., Taylor Swift for example) are dancing -- it should send a cue to the audience. Perhaps they need to lower the price to allow better access to those that really want to see the acts as opposed to check it off their list of Vegas shows. (And allow access to the under 21 crowd that will actually participate without the fake pit and fake audience to the side.) To the over 40 crowd -- it's a concert -- don't go unless you are prepared for people standing or will stand yourself. (I'm almost 50 so I can say this.)

The show started strong but by mid-show the crowd lost it's enthusiasm. Many of the entertainers were not there in person and appeared by video feed. The only people who could see the Michael Jackson hologram were the people sitting right in front of it. No one in the stadium seats could see anything because the stage it was done on was too deep and the hologram was way in the back of the stage set. Even 80% of the people in the floor seats were facing the other way and had to stand up and turn around to see it. I think because the Michael Jackson stage set was so big and took up so much of the seating area they jacked up the ticket prices from last year. Last year I paid $150 per seat and was one section closer to the main stage. This year I paid $200 per ticket and was one section farther away. A couple of the acts were basically unknowns and even the name performers sang new songs that people weren't familiar with. Jennifer Lopez is always great but they show have placed her mid show to sings a new unknown song and and finished with a popular song that everyone knows and loves. That would have given them a strong finish. As it was, the opening act was strong and then the show just kept going downhill to a dismal end. Sadly, I saw people walking out before the show was over. That says it all.

Very nice show production with nice lighting effects, you must see.

The show was awesome! My daughters loved seeing all of the live performances.

a wonderful time. I attend every year and this one was really the best.

This is my 4th time attending and I loved every second of it!!!

All in all, a great show....this was my 2nd time attending......nothing like experiencing it live. Our only disappointed was the Michael Jackson act,.....shame on MGM and ticketmaster for telling us about that before buying out tickets......also, our section was the only one in the arena that did not have the special effect bracelets...........sad after dropping over $300 for each ticket! We could not see the MJ act due to the angle of our seats.,paying over $300 for each ticket, I wish there had been an advisory, as we would have chosen other seats. Very disappointed

I thought this year's billboards was just ok because they played too much country! Not a big fan of country so I thought last year's Billboards was better.

I was surprised to find that you could just go on line and purchase a ticket for the Billboard Music Awards like it was a regular concert! It was a really neat experience to be a part of. I was in Las Vegas for vacation and found out the awards were being held at the MGM Grand and that anyone could attend. I got a great seat and it was amazing to see so many superstars, which I have only seen on TV performing hits of today. The production was superb and the behind the scenes were fun to watch. Someone warmed up the crowd and the show was live so it was a unique experience which I was glad to be a part of. The arena was the perfect place to see a show like this and I'd imagine to see a concert or fight as is often hosted at the MGM Grand

It was ok but I paid 700 to have a better seat and I had the camara in my way most of the night very upset

Justin Timberlake, Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus were all promoted to be there and None of them showed up. I didn't go to watch videos! And no one was Able To see Michael Jackson segment. It was set too far back! All in all I was Extremely disappointed. :( I had seven guests with me and was embarrassed by the videos! This was supposed to be a Live show!

It was good but last year was better jo lo for lifetime award really ?????

This was a once in a lifetime event. Every performance was amazing. Our seats, although in the higher sections still provided a great view.

The amount of money we paid compared to the seats we got, in my opinion was not worth it. Between shows, while we waited for commercials to run on the tv, we sat in the crowd in dead silence with no entertainment of any kind! The Michael Jackson Show we had to watch on a TV screen. Our camera was confiscated at the entrance, so we couldn't take any pictures. I traveled all the way from North Carolina and my sister traveled from Panama City, Panama in Central America to attend this event. I will not attend or spend my money again on these awards.

I have gone the last couple years to this event!! I love that you get to see and hear so many entertainers all at one event.

Jason Derulo was GREAT but never going 2 BBMAs again!!!!! We sat most of the time waiting for everything and everyone to get ready. It was just not the best experience. I was there for Miley Cyrus "9" nominations and only heard 3. I wouldn't go back! Too much excitement for a not so great show. Drove 4 hours for a bad award show.

This was just dream come true for me:)) to see all global music stars in one night!!!! Unbelievable !!! Great event , everything was prefect!

Was very fun. Performances were great. When they said katie perry was a performer and then we saw her on a screen not live, I felt deceived. Couldnt see michael jacksons performance at all

OUTSTANDING ENTERTAINMENT THIS IS THE 3RD YEAR I'VE ATTENDED AND AS LONG AS IT IS THE SAME WEEK NEXT YEAR I PLAN TO ATTEND.. tHE ENTERTAINMENT HAS EXPANDED EACH YEAR. iT'S GREAT TO HAVE THE BILLBOARD MUSIC AWARDS BACK

Where else could you see so many stars in one place...a really great night.

It was an awesome experience. We go every year worth the trip from Jersey!!!

The show was well organized. It was a good first time experience and I highly recommend persons to attend the next Billboard awards.

My fave performances were Chris Brown, J Lo, Will I Am, Miguel, Taylor Swift and of course...Prince. They were amazing. The crowd was live and fun, what a fun experience

So much fun with such an amazing lineup of artists.

Great to see so many artist live. Had a cheap seat and it was ok but the up and down traffic for cocktails was a bit dissruptive. Event was well organized and no wait to get in.

The show was great. You had a lot of really great performers. I was not too keen on Kid Rock and his, he is better than everyone attitude. I am not sure why he was asked to present. It just made the show look bad. Tracy was a good host and I really enjoyed him. Miguel should have been a little more responsible when he was performing. He hurt those two fans becuase he wanted to get the wow factor in his show. I know that he got all caught up in the moment but that just was not a good move. I felt bad that Justin was booed so loudly at the show and thought that was very disprespectful. I know there is nothing you can do about that though.

Found it hard to understand what MC Tracy Morgan was saying half the time. Found a few acts such as Bruno Mars and JLo to be good. Wasn't wowed by the other acts and found Nicki Minaj's lap dance to be tasteless. It was hard to see the stage from our seat location and we had to watch the big screen half the time to be able to see the performances. The show is definitely geared towards the TV audience and not those attending. You'd think with all the entertainers there they could fill the time with something other than constant announcements about downloading an app during commercial breaks.

This was like attending a super concert! We had a fabulous time and hope to go again.

We had good seats in section 102. We had the option of being upgrade to floor seats, as they needed to fill the seats up. We decided to upgrade, but we wish we hadn't because it was much harder to see the performances since everyone stood up for each song! Besides that, the awards show was amazing and I would go to it again!

The performances were amazing with the exception of Chris Brown. It was a 3 hour show but felt like it flew by. The light show app for the Icono Pop performance did not work but did not take away from their performance. Prince was outstanding.

This year I didn't feel the same excitement as the year before. It was more packed, but I didn't feel like the performances were top notch. I had my favorites of coarse, but for the most part I couldn't wait for it to be over. It was an honor to see Prince on stage! Though it wasn't the same as when Stevie Wonder closed the show, everyone was on their feet, asking for an encore, and this year people started leaving before Prince even took the stage! Over all, Im glad I only paid $85.

This whole award show seems so contrived, like someone is trying to steer what we as the public are to perceive of what music is in the U.S. probably big record companies trying to promote and sell pop music, which has no soul. A rock category with no rock bands raised my eyebrows. Thinking that Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift are the best singers in the entire country? Most categories had the same nominees. How can Carly Rae Jepson win 3 awards?? The Milestone was a joke as one could vote as many times as they wished, that is a popularity contest, not one based on talent. Prince was a great, as he actually played live and played an instrument with a real band, same as Bruno Mars. It will be a sad day when we don't appreciate the sound of live instruments, the music industry has already sold out.

Our seats were upstairs, but you could see well from anywhere in the arena. It was like seeing multiple concerts in one night! Will be back next year for sure and will bring more friends! Tickets are so affordable

I will return next year but on tne floor. Better seats will be a MUST. it was a very impressive evening.

It was a great show from beginning to end. Non-stop great performances. The Bieb seemed a bit arrogant. Maybe he needs some time off to reflect.

MGM has always been one of my favorites and the show was very good, I've been at this casino many times and never had anything going wrong, MGM rocks

I am a sucker for most award shows, I watch almost all of them. This award show unfortunately was just average at best. I felt like it started off strong then fell into the lip-syncing heavy performances with no entertainment during the tv commercials for those in attendance. The show flowed well early, then stalled late. It felt like the last 45 mins of the show were very chopped up by commercials. It was still cool getting to see so many various performers take the stage. I guess it's just my personal taste but, I wish they would have booked more musicians and less entertainers. I feel like it should be needless to say for anyone who watched the show that Tracy Morgan added nothing at all as a host, he just isn't funny.

The lights were always in our face. The performances were awesome but the seats were horrible.

So much fun!! Will definitely be going again next year!

Saw billboard music. Show was awesome. Would be nice if you had a screen so people in the upper sections could see. Our view was obstructed by the lights.

Great music show! However the MGM's arena could use a better sound system.

It was amazing and I will attend again. I enjoyed every minute of it

show was great, unbelievable to see that many top artists in one night, it was highlight of our trip!!

The performances that Justin Bieber and Will.I.Am gave were amazing- watching them both live - what talent. PitBull and Christina were enjoyable. Selena Gomez also put on a great show.

Awesome show!! Very well done. The crowd was great and the talent was fantastic!!

The billboard awards are always a wonderful surprise! There are always different. By being there, I almost feel like I am part of the industry.

Was a pretty entertaining event for the most part, though things really didn't start to get memorable until the second half, everyone within the first hr seemed to be doing the same performance with lipsync. They did however do a decent job with the tributes, though I heard the Natasha Bedingfield 'Last Dance" for Donna Summer was cut short on tv for commercial, no bueno. Beastie Boys and of course the Whitney homage was nice, though I figured since both Brandy and Monica were in attendance, they could have partaken in that one as well. The Stevie Wonder and Alicia Keys set was great as well, as he gave us a mini concert. Overall, the event did lag in certain spots, like seeing Taylor Swift and Justin Beiber on stage for almost 10 minutes giving the same old boring speech about how they wasn't expecting to win, and an array of dance-driven music sets that got repetitive, I give it a B-. Last year was over the top, they slipped a little this time, but I would still come back.

It was awesome to see all those stars and performers in one building. Glad to have been there with amazing people to share this experience. I do feel it was like a once in a lifetime deal. Thank u Vegas for having it as the best hotel MGM!!!!

Everything was amazing, specially the tribute to Whitney Houston.

It was very cool to be at the Billboard Music Awards, while it was being shown LIVE on TV!! The performances were great! And our seats were right on the side of the stage, so we got to see what happens during commercials - all the break downs and set ups of the stages, the hosts moving around, etc.

This event is so fun and different. Not a lot of people realize you can buy tickets to an award show and I'm so glad I found out about this. The performances were so fun and it's definitely worth splurging on the good seats because even they're a little far back.

The show was GREAT!! We loved it...We loved Vegas. The process of buying tickets are great now. No waiting at all....

It was so great to see all of the Billboard nominated musicans all in one room. I had a great seat close to the stage. It was an exciting event. I would do it again.

Very fun event. Loved seeing all the performers live.
