| - I just saw Gabriel Iglesias at The Pearl tonight.
I noticed he was coming last week and went to ticketmaster to buy my ticket it was a $50 ticket but came to almost $65 after the ticketmaster fees, but my printer had crapped out and will call wasn't an option so I went to the Box Office at the Palms, walked right up and got the same seat (front row), that I had saw on ticketmaster for $50 flat no service charge, no ticket printing fee, nothing...yay!!! (will be buying more tickets at the box office screw ticketmaster!!!)
So I get there tonight, parking was a bit of a hassle but nothing too bad, I get there and I have to admit it was a little odd, unlike most venues where you come in on the ground level and walk up to the upper sections, you come in on the top and have to go down a few flights of stairs to get to your seat...no biggy, I got there with time to spare.
Complaint #1, I know you have a captive audience for the shows, but come on $7 for a 12oz Miller Lite....that is a bit much, come on atleast serve 16oz bottles for that price.
I worked concert security for a few years in college and have been in many venues and I have to say Hands Down The Pearl is the best one I have ever been in, they didn't spare any expense in building that place it was beautiful, the preshow music sounded great (I can't wait to see a band there), and the venue us wide open, pretty sure there isn't a bad seat in the house.
I got down to the front row to take my seat and here is what prevented the place from getting 5 stars, the chairs were padded folding chairs that were linked together, I know they probably get a lot of shows where the lower level is a SRO pit, but for a sit down show the chairs sucked, add to that the fact that I am a bigger individual and the show is a comedian who is a "fluffy" guy, it was fair to say that I was almost the average size and the chairs were packed together, the couple behind me were both small and they were packed in, me and the 5 other people in my row were all pretty big and you couldn't move without bumping into someone. (the upper levels were theater seats and they looked to have a little more room)
I had a great time there and will keep an eye out for a band I want to see there, I really can't wait to see how a concert sounds there, I have heard good things.
To sum it up....beautiful venue, overpriced drinks (but that is all venues), decent parking, friendly box office (screw ticketmaster), and horrible chairs....get new chairs you get 5 stars!!!
