I'm a fairly laid back and easy going guy so when something gets under my skin and bothers me you know it's a really big deal. That being said I was at their show it was a work night for me but my GF wanted to see them and I agreed to go I mean who wouldn't want to see an 80's cover band playing classic 80s tunes?
We showed up early (about an hour) and were the 4th couple in line; we waited patiently; the line guard/ticket taker came over and commended us for being their so early and made some light conversation telling us about the show. As the line formed behind us we could tell this was going to be a blast as everyone showed up in full on 80s attire and made me think this must be what a flashback feels like.
As the time of the show approached the line guard came back out and said sorry everyone but the Rat Pack showed up and joined the Spazmatics on they are doing a few sets together. WTF? How bummed was I that we didn't have tickets for that show? That ended up pushing our show back another hour. When we finally were allowed in we were expecting some sort of compensation for causing the delay, or at least a free drink & tickets to an upcoming show etc but all we were told was sorry about that and no you can't sit down inside those are for VIPs only! who is more of a VIP than a fan who stood in line over an hour waiting to see you perform?
We stuck around for the first song but after spending an hour and a half in line and another hour or so waiting for the band to "freshen" up we decided to leave very disappointed As I had to get up and go to work in the morning.
I would be happy to go back and try this again but knowing my luck some other fiasco would occur and cause me to have a coronary so I will pass.
