| - So we saw PVRIS last night, great show. But this venue sucks, and mostly from the people that work there. Standing in line wasn't so bad, the guy checking IDs was cool and making jokes with everyone.
But once we got in and found our spots, I wanted to look around. Headed up stairs to the balcony area, where they have seating. There were no barriers to entry, took the elevator up. No bouncers or anything. I found an open area and was looking around (this was before the show even started), and this security guy came up and very rudely told me to leave, that I wasn't allowed up there,VIP only. He was really being a jerk about it, and followed me back downstairs.
Later, during the show's intermission, I needed to sit down for a bit. Due to health issues, I get tired very easily and am in pain if I stand for too long. They have NO seating (unless you're $VIP$ upstairs, apparently). So no chairs anywhere. Zip. None. So, like a few others, I found an inconspicuous spot to sit on the floor against the wall. Not two minutes later, another jerk security guy told me I had to get up. WTF? Even the Marquee has plenty of chairs and areas to chill during a concert.
The acoustics are also somewhat lacking; for a concert/show theatre they should be better. Sound was quality was meh. Stage is small. The floor is level, which is odd; good luck seeing anything if you're short or in the back. Water is $6, ridiculous, but expected.
So to recap: venue itself, 4 stars; personnel, 1 star. Maybe they're used to dealing with dumb kids or something. Don't come here if you need to take a rest during the show, won't happen.
