IIFA Awards

Had a great time seeing all the fans while walking on the green carpet. Hope to be invited again to the next IIFA event. @akshaypatel1991 #modelakshaypatel

Pretty pathetic show. Didn't see many big actors, show started late , lots of bloopers and not at all entertaining

We were disappointed because it lacked punctuality, organization of it and the professionalism in the whole event. They seriously need to hire writers & comedians for the material for the MCs. The mCs did the worst job i have ever seen. The dances performances, the visual effects were fantastic.

Start very late and poor organization, but performance was good but very loud music

The event was great. It is the first time in USA that we had the pleasure to watch this when approx. 800 million viewers on the globe were watching it as well.

Excellent show overall, good performances madhuri dixit performance was good too, but at age 50 she needs to leave the performance to younger kids. Sound at section 333 was sligh problem and event did start late. Overall all 7 members of our party seats 14-30, row DD enjoyed the event and will do it again

Excellent performance- nice mix of actors who were all very motivated

The wait times are really long. Show didn't start on time. It was delayed by 3 hours. The gates opened very late as well, it was so hot waiting out side the gate for more than two hours.

OMG they were so late starting this event with only 1/3 of the stadium occupied this event shouldn't have been so unorganized.

Out of the world !!!! Spectacular performances and jaw dropping stage effects !!!

This was undoubtedly the best IIFA Awards so far. Organizers of WizCraft and Raymond James Stadium did an outstanding job. The event started late which was a little disappointment to many folks.

The BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT was that the Stars started arriving 3 hrs late than the said timing. The green carpet arrivals were supposed to start at 4.30pm but noone arrived until 7.30pm. Thousands of people were waiting since 4pm in sun and heat to just get a glimpse of there favorite stars. Therefore the award ceremony started late too. The overall show was good. But I would say that you can experience it once. I certainly wont go for any other award ceremonies.

din't event enjoy even spending 5K at this event...

very poor organization. i would not recommend this event to anyone.

very poorly planned and poorly executed. IT WAS DELAYED BY 4 HOURS. Lights and audio on top tier was very poor.

The show started way late. they didn't let us in for no reason and we have to wait outside in so hot whether ruining out makeup in heels. I didn't understand anything that Farhan Akthar said. The jokes they made during the show was actually sad and not funny. The show started so late that i had to leave the show before it was over in order to catch the flight. They should have respected us by coming in time. It is not India we all have to job and other responsibilities other than film stars. Fashionably late was not fashionable to me at all. The green carpet should have been recorded and shown to every one. Very disappointed need a refund.

Event was good, started 2 hours late and extended for 5 hours which was little tiring by the end. The stars came 2 hours late and standing in the sun waiting for them was too much, The show was promising and it was a delight to watch few bollywood stars. Was looking forward to see SRK and Bachans but they never showed up. Rest event was good.

iifa 2014 gets a star for technical thrill and a star for dazzle. Looses stars for poor organization, feeding us dreadful stadium food, and laying out a green carpet only to have it invisible to thousands of spectators. Try using bleachers next time, we will pay extra to use them. If the show is all for and about we the fans(we paid 1500.00 U.S.Dollars), why then were we standing in the gutter waiting to see our favorite stars who were blocked from sight? Having fourteen years of iifa awards to practice on, it is not acceptable to start so late. The gross tardiness was not professional. Also not acceptable was the so-called food. I understand contractual obligations with vendors. The same vendors could have easily switched from beef hot dogs to samosas and all beef burgers to veggie burgers for just this one night. If you are hosting thousands of Indians, why would you offer them cows to eat?

IIFA WAS TOTAL LOSS FOR US . FIRST THERE WAS NO TIME VALUE IN THE EVENT , WE PAY MONEY NOT TO SEE AWARDS , BUT TO SEE STARS ON DAY BEFORE , THEY NEVER TRY TO SEE AUDIENCE WAITING OUTSIDE THE HOTEL , WE WAIT 4 TO 5 HRS , WE JUST WANT SEE THEM AND TAKE PICTURES OF THEIR FACE . SAHIS KAPOOR AND FARHAN AKHTER DONT KNOW HOW TO DO MC , THEY DONT KNOW HOW TO RECONIZE THE AC TORS WHO COME ON THE STAGE , THERE PRESENTATION WAS 3RD CLASS, THEIR COMEDY , ANTAKHRI AND ONE MORE GAME THEY PLAY WAS CHEAP FOR IIFA AWARDS , INSTEAD JOHN TRAVELTA AND KEVIN SPACEY WERE THE BEST .

We waited outside in 90 degree temp for good 4 hrs. Program supposed to start at 6:30pm but it stated at 9:45 pm. Except Shahid, Farhan Akther and Ranveer Singh Artist looked tired. Shtrughan Sinha's speech was too long and boring. Farhan and Shahid were acting like teenagers and clowns. They were laughing more on their monologues then audience.

Horrible managed, choreographed show. Over hyped and overpaid !!!

Green Carpet - movie stars were several hours late, while it was hot and muggy outside. Many folks were dressed up with high heels waiting for hours. Event - started almost two hours late. Many families brought kids who had to endure teh event until 2:47 am when it finally ended. Two big screens to the side were not turned on. This would have been so much better for folks up in the 3rd level. Sitting in the 3rd level, you could not hear or see well. The sound was awful. Why were there no translations or sub titles? 70% of the show was in Hindi in the USA where everyone speaks English. Food: Bad, bad, all the way. Indians do not eat meat. Yet with the exception of vege burgers which is part of your normal food service, there were hotdogs, sausage, chicken and mainly meat items. A lady close up to the food counter sat flat on the ground because she almost passed out. When me and several others tried to get her a bottle of water, we were told we had to wait, when we were right at the counter and it was our turn. Food service people were nasty and rude and lacked any compassion. The same lady after she gulped down a bottle of water bought her own food and more water, then they would not let her have the bottle cover. She explained that she had a bottle half empty and one full - uncovered with all of this food. It took 3 food service people to make the right decision after myself and finance got involved again. Then the food servive closed at 11 PM when the awards continued until 2:47 am in the morning - this was so wrong. The event was too long and drawn out. The actual awards was 4 hours long not including hours spent in the heat for the green carpet. The folks involved in planning and organization, did a poor job all around.

All the dances were excellent. Idid not like the long boring talk by the mcs

The time was 6:30 pm, gates didn't open till 7:10pm and event didn't start till 10:00. There should shave been proper information about the event timing, so it would have been more enjoyable till 3:00am. RIDICULUS PLANNING.

Not well organized. Late start and end is not good also. Host are not proper.

It was awesome, spectacular, colorful, loud, entertaining and worth every penny. Wish most of the presentations were in English, though.

Awesome event!! We shd do it every year. I like such performances live and the hosting was very good.

Started 3 hrs late and finished 3 hrs late. That is not acceptable in America .For the money they charged they should have brought more big Bollywood stars. Why do they have to copy OSCAR by doing Selfie?.please... Come up with some originality!!!! The so called funny moments between Shahid and farhan were too long! Didn't even know when to laugh most of the time. Very poor joke selection . At the beginning of green carpet most of Indian stars, except Gulshan Grover, didn't bother to come and walk closer to fans.

started late testing our patience , once it started could not believe where 4 to 5 hours passed in vee hours of morning , performers and spectators were at same wave length

When booking the ticket it should be mentioned about what items are not allowed for the event like backpack, video camera etc.. as this was not mentioned wehad to go a very long was to keep that. Also the most important is the timing the green carpet was about to start bye 4.30 pm but it started after 7.30 we waited under sun and hot temperature for hours and the stadium gate too opened late.. a few volunteer never knew about the seat locations .. overall unsatisfied experience.

Though the awards event was great with amazing performances by the stars, the event started 4 hrs late and ran upto 3am. The stars should think about their fans who come from far off places with little kids and older parents. They should better start coming to these events on time otherwise the future ceremonies will have poor turn out.

Poor. And show was 3 hours late. People were getting upset. We left . It was a big disappointment . No apologize from the IIFA organization. I fact we demand our money back. We went from L A spent so much money on hotel, airline tickets. We could not believe that arrangement was so bad that no signs to enter the Stadium. Spent 500.00 to 1000.00 dollar ticket and entering the Stadium took us hour. People were sitting on 1000 dollarsticket who bought 150.00 dollars tickets. No body was checking the tickets. It was disaster. Never again.

I enjoyed every bit of the show aside from starting a later then expected the performances were awesome and who can forget the fact that I was able to see my all time favorite celebraties plus more in person and life recording!!

The program was supposed to start at 8 pm, started after 10 pm and finished at 4 am. Food options were limited, no Indian food at the stalls. There was only Pepperoni Pizza available and nothing for Vegeterians. The sound was too low and could not hear most of the conversation between the program hosts. The view was poor from the upper level seats and the side screens too small to view properly.

Way overpriced, seats too far to see anything, very late start, average show quality.

This event was mess. It started and ended very late 3 AM. After event is over, traffic was chaos. Management just took care about celebrities and media. Green carpet was not organized properly so except media no one can even see celebrities. During event sometimes it was very hard time to hear the hosts.

We traveled long distances to see our beloved bollywood stars with great expectations. Going to Hrd rock Cafe ,the night before after spending a fortune, none of the actors came until 2 am and then only Vivek Oberoi comes. Red carpet wait along with thousnads of fans for four hours, and no one shows up until 2 hours late. Main event, started at 10 pm, two hours late. Hosts of the show Shahid Kapoor, whom we adore and Farhan Akhtar, were beyound boring!!! They went on and on and on with different acts throughout the program with pirate theme(which started well and dragged on forever), selfi theme, Antkashari and dumb charades were humiliating and boring. Show was full of technical errors. Many times winners were announced before Audio visuals and introductions. Curtains will open at wrong times , just to close again. We really enjoyed Madhuri and Rhitik Roshan performances at 2 am and 2 30 am!! I dont think this is for us as they do not value time of people, along with horrible hosts and technical errors felt like a school performance.. Yes they might have a lot of money but they failed to win our hearts.Is this the fault of wizcraft ? sure hosts are to be blamed! thank god for some preformances giving them 2 stars!

The event was supposed to be start at 6:30 pm. And we all arrived at an hour prior and we didn't enter into the stadium till 8 pm. That was terrible in this society for a big event like IIFA. Also their Anchor was bad and keeping that the Function so boring.

Event was excellent, but if it would have been better if they started and ended on time!!!

Poorly organized! Started late and ended at 3 am. Crazy people.

worst show ever, badly organised started 4 hours late

You would expect this event to be one you would never forget, but from what I think and from mostly everyone I have heard from, they wish they could forget most of it. They had no respect for timing. The entire event started late and had the public waiting in the heat for 4 + hours. There were many people from out of state and little kids that were exhausted. Because the event did not start on time it finished much later. People have schedules for the following day. Yes they take out extra time for the event because there is always adjustments needed but this much of a delay on a grand event like iffa is ridiculous. Not many actors were here either. I love Billy wood and as a fan yes, there is always waiting and being patient to get what you want, but there is a limit to everything.

It was fantastic, hilarious, entertaining, magical, what more can I say, The whole event was out of this world.

Three hour delayed start. No apology no reasoning for the delay. Poor planning . Show was very good though

bad experience over all,organizers did a horrible job,no discipline what so ever,

IIFA event was GREAT but the Indian timing was very POOR.

We had an awesome time at IIFA awards in Tampa. Everything right from the booking of tickets, to the show itself was wonderful! Worth it!

The show was to start at 6:30pm and finally started at 10:30pm. We arrived at 6:30pm and were forced to stand outside of the stadium to 7:30 as they said the band was late and rehearsing. The entire show was disorganized and there were no apologies made to the fans for the delay. After paying $500+ each for 4 tickets, the show was a huge disappointment. We left at 12:30 am given we were under time constraints and expected the show to be done by then had it started by 6:30 pm. I heard later that it dit not end until after 2:00 am. We basically wasted time, money, travel time, new clothing for the event and hotel stay for a very poorly organized show. Tickets varied from $100 to $3000 but this was the worst show I have ever been seen to date. Shame on the Mayor of Tampa, Fl taking the stage first at 10:30 pm when they were already delayed for 4 hours. He should have apologized, started the show and then thanked everyone he thanked at the beginning,at the end. Essentially, then the show started somewhere after 11 pm.

This was really fun event, but its better if you go with friends. You might wanna go later than it is schedule.

The event was entertaining, but would have been better if it had started on time. The kids slept and were tired before the event even started.

The show started over two hours late and did not end until after 3AM! There was great traffic management before the show started however once the show was over there was nothing but chaos when trying to get out of the parking lot. The show it self could have been about 2 hours shorter but the performances were amazing!

I value my time. The show started two hours late.We left before the last portion of the show as it was 2:00 in the morning.

Start too late, No Manner in Any of Officer or Artist from India. not many stars. Green Carpet was no good at all

This program was completely mismanaged. It started 4 hours late. Arrangements at facility were not good. Water was over much early...

Too expensive Lack of Class - cheap venue Late Start

This show was a lifetime event people where from all over the U.S. and other countries to see this event one lady on my side was from france with family to see this event. one family in my front row was from norway , everyone was very excited to see all these bollywood stars going live on stage, there performance was awesome...i feel proud to go and see this event live.

IIFA needs to respect time. They started at 9.45pm instead of 8 pm !! And why are there so so so many dances ?????????? It needs to keep the awards show tight and the talking shorter and less dances PLEASE!!!!! What's up with Antakshari ? Why are the hosts always coming down from the stage ? What's up with Dumb Charades ? Seriously ? Awards show should be about 2.5 hrs max !! People left the show long before it was over. IIFA has 15 yrs of experience, it didn't seem like that.

I loved the IIFA show but the stadium seating was very poor for the amount of money that was charged for each ticket !! The stage was so far out that 90% of the people were complaining about it.

The ticketmaster part was very poor. all the handicap area was blocked off.the event was not sold out but we could not move to the lower levels. please next time where ever yu have an event like this. please work with the fans.

Was a poorly organized program from start to finish.Started 2 hours late.Sound system not good.Bright light from stage shining on audience preventing us to see the stage.MC wasted time with poor irrelevant jokes.None of the organizers available to complain.

This was such a poorly managed and visualised event. Only the name bollywood was enough to get millons of people buy the tickets however there was nothing extraordinary that one would remember for life.. The show was all hype, no fun! There was 3 hrs delay, the hosts were unprepared, most of the times bored us to sleep. The show was more like a watching a flop movie on tv..poor management by wizcraft..these guys could not even get their AVs for nominations properly...waste of money for those sitting in back rows... Hope ppl who bought tickets for above usd 3000 could atleast get better visibilty of actors.

The ystarted show very late and finsihed at like 3:20 AM in the morning. It was complete disappointment and not worth spendign money. The host and emcees were very boring.

It started sooooo late. Way too many technical glitches. We had lights on our face. Couldn't hear anything at the back.

It was waste of time and money. After all it was like a cheating, it was not what we paid for, its like a couple $$ show. No timing, No renowned guest, worse comedy, host were bad talker. We did not want to pay more than couple of hundred for a ANITACHHARI.

Program as usual was great. Sad thing neither the organizers nor the stars have any respect for other peoples time. The event was supposed to start at 6.30 p but started at 10p, green carpet was supposed to start at 4.30 p but the great stars arrived at 9 p. Poor people tolerated all this in 90 degrees F hot sun. Even the food at the stadium was finished. Neither the organizers nor our great stars mention even one time how late it was or apologize

very poorly organized event. show was suppose to start at 6.30 pm and every most of the people were there by 5.30 pm lined up to get in. Doors did not opened till 8.15pm and standing in line for almost 3 hours at 87 degree was a nightmare. Could not find a bottle of water any where around the stadium. Finally went inside the air conditioned arena and every so thirsty and starved, jump into the food court to get hydrate and put some food in their stomach before the show. The show started at the time when it was suppose to end and most of the people were tired and exhausted but they stayed there because they wanted to get some thing in return for the huge price they paid to see the show. What a shame to IFFA and the organizer. Was my first time and most probably the last one.

The show met my expectation except the seats were far away from the stage.

The show was ok celebrity left before the show was over not enough big screen for other people to see it was a waste of money they failed to keep it organized!

The green carpet. Was to start from 4.30 to 6.30 pm None of the stars showed up during that time. Checking into the stadium was a nightmare, with everyone pushing. Time for checking in was 6.30 and we were allowed in at 8.00 pm Main event to start at 8.pm and it started at 10 pm. Event was to finish at 11 pm and was done at 3.00 am We were there for 10 hours with just fast food like popcorn and nachos for food. The performances by the stars was awesome. Wish they all had more consideration for other people's time After all the money we spent on this event.

once it started it was flawless , unfortunately started late , also at times it appeared that they were trying to kill time may be for stage preparation , but could have avoided hosts were great , would be nice to have some indian snacks

We got to the Green Carpet at 5:30 pm and hardly any stars showed up on time. We were not allowed inside the stadium until many people complained. Since it was hot, we had no option but to sit on the grass until then in our evening attire. The show which was supposed to start at 6:30 pm started at 9:30 pm!! We ended up watching the same ads on the screens over and over again. Instead they could have projected the stars walking the carpet to entertain us after all that heat. The hosts repeated sentences too much and copied Ellen's selfie idea from the Oscars! There were video glitches such as John Travolta receiving an award and leaving the stage and then his video clip being shown later. We have seen better events in tristate area. Graphics during performances were good.

I request a refund. This was very unorganized. No clear instruction as to what is going on etc. Program started at 10:15pm. We hardly watched the show, and we were getting tired. There was no consideration for the public. I cannot understand show started almost 4 hours late. I request please refund my ticket. I do not have a job, I spent all these money and was very disappointed. Thanks for your. Understanding.

Horribly organized, food was gone before the event even started Event was supposed to start at 8 - and end at 11 Instead started at 11 and ended at 4 am A lot of pushing and shoving at entry gate There was no order The hosts were horrible talked forever and took away time away from dances I asked for wheelchair and when got there they moved our seats And I had to run around 1 hour to find and get the new tickets

It started more than 2 hours late. If it starts late, they should try and see if they can condense it to make it enjoyable as well as finish it at a decent time. But no! It only ended at 3 am. For the price that everyone was made to pay for the event, it is a shame that many had to leave early before it ended. Also, the compering was filled with mistakes and goof ups. The audio was bad and many of the things could not be heard where we were sitting. If they want to charge people for the seats, then they should make sure that everyone enjoys it equally. It was a shame to India!

it was a disaster to say the least. The organization of the event was very poor or it lacked completely. No host or stars came on scheduled time.. everything ran more than 2 hrs. behind. show lasted 5 hrs. and didn't end till 3:30am.. yes AM it was an Indian event and Indian food was not available the little food choices they had was all out before the show even started the host and co-host both (Farhan Akhtar & Shahid Kapoor) were not good at all..their voice & script was very poor. The volume on the speaker was not loud enough for the seats in the back.. only good part of this event was performances

This event was one of most poorly organized ones I have ever attended. The full focus was on bollywood stars and audience were left secluded, unattended. The event started 4 hours late, and ended around 3 am. No such information were provided in advance. People on the 2nd and 3rd floor were under open sky and cold wave, shivering. From the 3rd floor nothing was visible on the stage. The giant screen by the stage on both sides were covering only the few glimpse of the stage. It would have been better if there were more giant screens close by 2nd and 3rd floor. The nominations for most of the awards were a stupid act and incomplete. This event fully focused on bollywood stars, kiran c patel & family, and the family and friends of the organizing people. Wizcraft totally failed organizing this event. Return my money back.

the program started with 3 hrs delay and ended after 3 AM which was too late.

Everything was great but certain things can be worked on.

They are hyping this IIFA awards for months. And only thing I could say I took the bait. Program supposed to start at 8PM and they started at 10PM. The 2 hosts were doing bad jokes through out the program. The guy who appeared in motorcycle and performed the dance looked like a bad WWF wrestler. One guy even did a political statement(his views) in an entertainment program. Dances were average and predictable. The two clowns acted as hosts were boring and horrible. The show dragged on til 4AM but I left around 2AM. Not going to attend another IIFA you will be miserably disappointed.

It was supposed to be biggest event in IIFA history to host in America . Believe it or not it was a spectacular show that started at 10 PM instead of 8 & finished just after 3 AM. Kevin Spacey & Ms PC showed up at 8 PM too. About 30 thousand plus people attended the show. John Travolta was a big plus with his presence. Unfortunately for most of local US citizens, it was not what we expected. The bigger stars like Bachan's, Khan's , Johar's who really more visible on international arena were missing. The 2-3 hours delay were poor planning, jet lag, lack to sensitivity to how things work in USA. The younger stars were unapproachable, the senior fraternity, was at least friendly , but we may not have been much interested to interact with them alone. Younger rising stars should be more receptive to their fans once they are on our land in our turf. I am sure they want us to go & see their movies in theaters. Most of us are very decent professional respected people in our community & spent tens of thousands of dollars away from work to enjoy 4 days in Tampa with the stars, With this kind of experience, as of now I would not go again to this show.

Event was unorganized. Stadium personal made people stand outside in the heat 1 1/2 hours additional. Program started two hours late. Parking exiting was a nightmare. Events first time in USA. Why Florida? Stadium was open roof. Noise was too loud to compensate for lack of roof. Lights were blinding. Overall very disappointing. I drove through 5 states to reach this event. It simply did not measure up to expectations. Next time ... think about Houston IFFA/\\. Better buildings, parking, people, etc.

This was indeed the best IIFA ever and the show was absolutely awesome!

Total mismanagement. Bottom line. After spending about $800 on 2 tickets for myself and my wife, I now feel cheated. I am at loss for words to explain my disappointment. Firstly, there were no volunteers/ staff to tell people where the entry gates are. For event of this size, it was expected that there will be plenty of signs to show entrance to the show. I found many people wondering where the gates are. Only information source was police officers who were not only managing the crowd but also helping out every one (kudos to them that they went out of their way to do so). The event website was pathetic and had little or no information. I just felt that they wanted to make money out of the show and no customer service. Secondly, the show was to start at 8am (BTW, this time was shown as 6.30am on Raymond James's website....something which organisers must have overlooked since they were busy counting money)....anyways, show eventually started at around 10pm. People were making fun that this is Indian Standard time which angered me more since I am an Indian and proud myself for time management. Anyhow, my wife is pregnant and I had made plans for her snacks/ dinner according to the show start/ end time. There was no announcement prior to start of the show as to why there is a delay. To make matters worse, no one even apologised for late start of the event. Oh well, they kept on saying "amazing audience" which only felt like salt on the open wound. The show ended at ungodly hours at around 3pm. My wife and I were really looking forward to this trip and so we sat through entire event, however at the expense of eating some unhealthy food at 4am at some junk food place. Thirdly, parking was overpriced at $25 per car park. Once again no information on the website. I was told that standard parking price at Raymond James is something like $10. It doesn't end here though. It was cash only parking (you guessed it, no information on the website). I didn't have cash so had to circle around, go to ATM and withdraw cash...ofcourse to find myself again at the back of the long queue to park. In absence of any information, I decided to drop my wife at the main entrance (something I thank god that it occurred to me otherwise she would have had to walk half a mile or so in 8th month of her pregnancy). Finally, I am required to give at least one star. Wish there was someway to give a thumbs down instead. A nightmare we lived through. Thanks to the poor event management.

IIFA I TOUGHT THERE WOULD BE ACTORS AND ACTRESSES IT WAS DISSAPPOINTING TO SEE VERY FEW OF THEM

Alright, first of all in sunny arnd 80's people are standing which is what u have to do if u wanna glimpse of ur superstar. But, after u done ur standing part of 7n half hour u dont expect that the stadium access is easy and staff who check ur tickets will show u the right direction. Neway , u somehow reach and then the guy said u need wrist band ok fine going to get wristband on the counter no lights she was checking tickets with her mobile flash light. Then she said ur section is closed for which i paid 1700.00 (2 person) and sorry we cannot locate u somewhere better than or equal to what u paid for ...and i had to sit way back in row y ...instead of row h .thts sucks like i booked my tickets in adv 4 months Ahead and after standing for 7n half hr in 80's where u cannot move urself nor u can leave ur space for nature cause. This is what u expect i dont knw who is responsible for all this but "" I Feel Cheated""" cheated n cheated

The show was the best production that I have ever seen. It was an experience of a lifetime. The next time the awards are in the US I will definitely go back. And will buy from ticketmaster. Also Tampa was an awesome and beautiful city. All these together make your moneys worth.

I have been very excited about iifa , got to Tampa at 0830. Made it to green carpet at 2.30 pm. stars were schedule to show up at 4.30 pm. AS time went on it got hotter, people got frustrated as there was a no show , it was past 6.30 p.m.although i was in front but but got pushed around because people got frustrated and angry. kids were crying hungry etc. I could not take it anymore, so made my way to stadium and had somethimh to eat. the show started at 9.40 pm. Jokes/and entertainment was the usual from every iifa. It was a total waste of money and time. the show ended at 3.am. had to rush to hotel pick up and head to the airpost. had i know that i could have flown in to tampa and takent a cab to show and gone back to airport. i would not have booked the hotel. Very dissapointed, but who would take the blame ?

Started 3 hours late..... Boring entertainers.... Poorly attended.... No khans in bollywood show??? And no bacchans either..... Never again....for us.

Amazing performances!!!! Wish srk was there! But regardless enjoyed the show! Madhuri was amazing as usual!

We were made to wait for 2 hrs before the gates were opened. Then we waited for 2 hrs more before the show started. Show was extremely poor with hosts being unprepared on matter & content. Delivery was pathetic except for few performances. Overall, I want to forget this event and extremely disappointed with very bit of the show.

It was not good at all. Did't started on time....long lines

IIFA was poorly organized and managed. My family made a huge effort and spent a lot of money to attend the IIFA and Magic of the Movies, but in return we got disrespect by showing up hours late leaving us waiting in the hot humid weather with no water facility. Stadium only had meat items with french fries. Truly a waste of time and money. Better off watching it on TV where you can skip the boring talks. Sorry to say this was our first and last IIFA, I mean "NO"FA.

This was an experience of a lifetime! I had the time of my life and got to see many bollywood stars. I only hope they come back very soon! Amazing and beautiful.

Did not get in the doors until 8:30 pm and show started at 10 pm, when it was supposed to end at 10 pm. Show ended at almost 3 AM. Poor lighting, poor sound and the screen should have been made bigger to the audience. You would think iifa USA would be top notch. Instead it was a total flop.

More than half of actors were absent. Poor green carpet event management. Show started very late and there was no vegetarian food. Overall poor show.

For what really matters, the dance performances and emcees were amazing and lived up to their hype. The awards were predictable, but of course that's not why everyone was there. However, the overall show was poorly organized and full of technical errors. I understand that delays occur at all types of shows and concerts, but a 2.5 hour delay at the Green Carpet Event and Award Show without any sort of communication (even on social media) was disappointing, especially when it ended around 3:00 am. The show itself seemed like an extension of rehearsal (wrong videos played or videos played at wrong times, long acceptance speeches, etc.) - I can see why these things are not televised "live" like the Oscars and rather edited and shown months after to the broader global audience. The final critique is about the venue. Since IIFA 2014 was billed to be the "biggest one ever," I felt the venue was too large to get the fans involved in the show. A smaller, closed arena may have captured the energy better. All in all, hope the future IIFA events focus on quality and not quantity, unless they can manage their own expectations.

The performances were great, There was no discipline, time management followed, Every program started late and there was no concern for those fans who showed up on or before time to the event. There was no proper food at the stadium, there were technical glitches, Security in the stadium was not very well done. People were allowed to move around from section to section

I couldn't express of how excellent and entertaining the show was. I was grateful for IIFA to come to the USA. It would be awesome for more shows and Bollywood and Hollywood to bring into one country.

IIFA Awards 2014 was just a life time experience! I wish they keep having these events every year. Even though it was Expensive, it was worth it. I miss these awards and hope to go to more events in future! Excellent job!

Most pathetic show..Did not start on time...Delay....No respect for time..Poor management..Unfortunately most pathetic show in USA
