| - I have been to this venue twice now. The first time the experience was pretty great, though it did take a bit of time to get in past security. There's not really a bad view in the place. They have good drinks, but are of course pricey. The second time I went, the line wrapped around the city block and it took over an hour to get in. Once I arrived at security, the worker when through every single item in my purse. She seemed perplexed by hand sanitizer, and that was just the start. She threw away my medications (Aleve and Prelief) that I use for treating my bladder disease, I'm guessing because they were over the counter and not in prescription bottles with my name on it. She then gave me a full pat down that seemed more thorough than that of TSA. I'm honestly curious as to whether or not this is actually legal, especially since I don't see anything regarding medications on the prohibited items list. I hope that Stage AE figures out their security issues because it is a big problem for myself and many others I've noticed.
