Objectives
1INTERCEPT INSIGHT, LLC | PO Box 2078 Avon, CO 81620 | www.interceptinsight.com | 970.331.1086
The Town of Vail, the Vail Valley Foundation, and Intercept Insight designed a core set of questions
intended to meet the objectives of the study, including event specific questions. Once the survey
was approved, the questions were programmed into an online survey design tool.
Email addresses collected during ticket sales and upon amphitheater entrance were used as the
sample set. The Vail Valley Foundation distributed the survey via email each week following the
concert series.
Reminder notifications were delivered periodically, and the study was closed on September 15th,
2020. The data was downloaded, and the results were prepared for analysis and reporting.

It is important to remember that this is a tool for gathering attendees’ opinions and feedback. Many of the results are pres ented in terms
of percentages. Intercept Insight, LLC encourages readers to consider the overall direction that is suggested rather than only the
statistics. Note that the margin of error is different for every single question response on the survey depending on the sam ple sizes,
proportion of responses, and number of answer categories for each question. As a general comment, it is sometimes more appro priate
to focus attention on the general trends and patterns in the data rather than on the individual percentages.

strategy and execution, survey development, programming, analysis, and reporting. There were 3,848 people in attendance over the

Recommendation
Recommendation
The Net Promoter Score is calculated via the following question: “On a scale of 0 to 10, where
0=Not at all likely and 10=Extremely likely, how likely are you to recommend these events to a friend or
family member?
Those who rate a ‘9’ or ‘10’ are called “Promoters”. Those who rate a ‘7’ or ‘8’ are called “Passive
Supporters”, and those who rate ‘0’ to ‘6’ are called detractors.
The Net Promoter Score (NPS) is calculated by subtracting the percentage of Detractors from the
percentage of Promoters.

2020 GRFA Summer Events -Increase Recommendation
•Stop requiring masks outside. Allow guests to bring bags in (that are not "clear"), unpleasant
experience with staff waiting in the parking lot to tell us to take everything out of our bag and carry
it in our hands, along with our children. Will not return until these restrictions are lifted.
•Screen performance
•More rock and roll concerts, jam bands!!!
•Merchandise
•Make your tickets transferable. I have issued a charge back on my credit card.
•Let more people in
•I know the event is bound by local and state COVID laws, but opening the venue to more people as
soon as possible.
•I believe more people could have attended and they would have been able to social distance. Would
have made for a better atmosphere
•Get friendlier bar staff
•Enforce your own rules of social distancing by attendees
•Covid has made me very cautious about crowds. We decided not to attend the event because of the
dramatic spike in cases in Eagle County the week of the first Hot Summer Nights. It is quite clear that
local management of the crises has much to learn about containing the virus and safely handling the
tourist population. We NEED to get our act together. Summer (tourist) season is almost over. I am
unconvinced that current protocols and guidelines are adequate to manage the crisis that will allow
for the much more important ($$) winter ski season (an opinion that appears validated by Rob Katz's
last open letter to the ski communities).
•Better music
•Better monitoring of physical distancing and people wearing masks

The Customer Delight Principle was designed to identify shortcomings within a business and to improve satisfaction. Satisfac tion can be
measured along a continuum and can be broken out into three major points:
•Discontentment –customers needs are simply not being met.
•Merely Satisfied –meeting customers needs, but not doing enough to distinguish among competition.
•Delighted –meeting and exceeding the customers needs and expectations

2020 GRFA Summer Events -One Change Comments
•You’re perfect
•You cant improve on perfection
•Wish the shows could be a little longer. It’s tough with a 4:30/7:30.
•Was great
•Unknown
•Try and get attendees to actually follow Covid protocols. a large group kept gathering and forced
us to move
•The lights keep shining in my eyes and stay there for a while, we were sitting on the lawn. Would
recommend keep lights moving or adjust so this doesn't happen to others
•Security people need to enforce no-smoking laws in AMP, and enforce 'distancing' of "dancers".
•Return of the crowd:)
•Remove the restrictions that impose on a pleasant event experience. Masks outside are absolutely
unnecessary. "Clear" bags are unrealistic and carrying all of your gear and children necessities in
hand is unreasonable to ask.
•Promo code for locals to get tickets before they sell out.
•Offer more events! The AMP was one of the highlights of the summer of 2020!
•Nothing! Always the best!
•Nothing, great experience!
•Not that I can think of, it was a great night
•Nope, everything was amazing. We love VVF for putting on these events even through all the crazy
challenges this summer. A thousand thank yous!
•Nope place is perfect
•More ticket availability
•More shows! The COVID protocols seemed to be followed very well. Let's keep the trend going!
•More shows!
•More people could have attended the concert (8/18 7:30PM). There was plenty of space in the
pavilion within social distancing mandates
•More movies! We love them!
•More microbrew choices (only one)
•More Kyle Hollingsworth!
•More information online. I was looking up the movie time online and it wasn't listed, so I went to
the Facebook page and it said 7:30, so when I got there at 7:30 the movie was almost over because
it actually started at 6:30.
•More food options! Maybe even food trucks in the parking lot!
•More events!
•More craft beer Mostly light this year.
•More cowbell
•More concerts! Keep the music alive and live!
•More
2020 GRFA Summer Events -One Change Comments
•Mandatory masks (with no exhale gaskets or 'buff' style masks) within the amphitheater at all times.
•Make your tickets transferable. I have issued a charge back on my credit card.
•Let us bring bags in. Do not like the new bag policy.
•Kill Covid
•Keep up the great work! :-)
•Keep things clean
•Keep the crowds small and the pricing the same regardless of where you sit.
•Keep inviting great bands! Reggae, Bluegrass please
•keep doing what you are doing
•Just keep these great music events coming.
•It’s a shame you couldn’t expand the allowable attendance. With 175 spectators you could have
tripled capacity and still had great spacing. I know it’s the county’s decision but it’s a shame
•It was amazing. The attentiveness to safety policies were stellar, but the vibe was still so awesome. It
was so wonderful to be back!
•I'm not a huge fan of the new brand, "The Amp." In my opinion, the name doesn't accurately reflect
the amazing venue.
•Have Tom Boyd greet every attendee in person at the gate
•Have more events!
•Great venue & experience; keep it going!
•Get serious about protecting attendees; an announcement was made at the beginning to wear masks
if standing up that was ignored and not enforced. nice that you had us sign waiver which covers your
behind
•Get a better site to sell tickets. foundation site sucks for ticketing.
•Free beer lol
•Food (although there is a reason why there was not food at the event I attended)
•Fines for people not wearing masks and physically distancing
•During COVID, I strongly believe that there should be a variance for the 175 total. It should be 175 per
section. that would make the event less weird.
•Can't think of anything, it was FANTASTIC!!!
•Better Beer selection, only 1 IPA and it was CO Native (Coors), not good, Sculpin is on the menu and is
delicious!
•Better beer selection
•Always continue to offer free live video streaming for those that can't make it!
•Allow us to bring in food and drinks.
•Allow more people! I understand the COVID-19 complications, but the venue seemed unnecessarily
vacant last night.
•Allow more people in!
•Allow more of a crowd
•Allow encores

•It was amazing, loved every minute of both performances! I look forward to the next one!
•It is sad to watch security people watch their phone more than the crowd.
•I personally have a problem on your website getting tickets. My email -
williamglindsay@hotmail.com for some reason can't be used, so I have been using Billlindsay
as my user name. Please help!
•have staff try to remind people to follow Covid protocols. large groups gathering together
makes us not want to attend
•Great job by the staff in keeping the music going, despite a Pandemic! Keep things clean and
keep on truckin!
•Great experience -I attended the Days Between concert and it was seamless. Loved the free
parking, the space for us to spread out (I think you could accommodate even more people but
I think 175 is the cap per CO law right now). SO nice to escape the heat of Denver and enjoy
something fun this summer. Many thanks for making it work!
•Do not like the new name "The Amp" -very silly and contrived.

2020 Hot Summer Nights -Precautions that Made Respondents LEAST Comfortable
•Wearing face mask
•Wearing a mask
•We felt you did an excellent job, all 4 guests were comfortable throughout the event.
•Too many people in my row
•The village was crazy and no tourists were wearing masks. The venue was perfect, and we can’t wait to come again!
•The usual people not complying with wearing masks. They are everywhere and can't be helped
•The fact that it was limited to 175 total and I felt really bad for the samples. and TGR.
•Small group but many crowded up front
•Peoples personal behavior of not distancing during show -not a big deal, just not perfect.
•People sat directly behind us in the seats
•People not wearing masks in common areas
•Nothing, felt weird being out in public but the size of the amp and how much everyone was spread out made it feel super safe.
•Nothing, but if the capacity is increased, I would be concerned about people maintaining distance
•None. I felt completely safe
•None, I feel good
•None, felt very comfortable.
•None -you guys did an awesome job!
•None -this was beautifully produced.
•No masks, No tracing possibility, No temperature taking, no testing/quarantine requirements
•No enforcement of your own rules -pretty shameful and you are fortunate there does not appear to be a high prevalence of COVID 19 in Eagle County
•N/A, well done!
•N/A I felt the event was handled very safely
•Masks. Dumb.
•Masks seem unnecessary, but I get it...it's the law
•Many customers not wearing masks and very close
•It was done very well, felt very safe the whole time!
•I was comfortable in all ways or I would not have attended
•I felt very comfortable the whole time
•Hot summer nights is primarily a social event, the music is secondary. Have the concerts, open it up and let people determine if they want to risk attending.
Hopefully by next summer we won’t be so fearful.
•Having my dinner bag searched and having to unpack all my food and drinks.
•Felt very safe all summer
•Enforcement under the pavilion during the show. People kept squeezing in to get a better seat and there was no way to enforce.
•Dancers in crowd who "drift" closer to others.
•Can't think of any
•Being followed by a staff member repeatedly asking to put my mask on, while I was carrying a child, chairs, a bag and0 umbrella in the rain. That was
uncomfortable. Being stopped in the parking lot and asked to take my bag back to my car and carry all of my items in my hands, also uncomfortable.
•Attendees not following Covid protocols
•All was good!
•All
•A little inconsistent messaging on mask wearing i.e.: wearing mask all times vs. wearing mask while coming/going from venue vs. wearing mask while sitting
at your spot
