Having attended concerts here and worked behind the scenes, I have a pretty good idea of what Stage AE is all about: money. Disclaimer: this isn't bad as it's any company's goal but Stage AE is just awful.
They won't allow outside food or drinks in, so what do guests have to do with them? Throw them away. The prices inside are crazy.
The worst part? Stage AE claims to recycle but EVERYTHING is thrown into the trash. Thousands of bottles and cans for each show are simply trashed. They claim they recycle when I ask them about it but I have seen both sides and there is no recycling happening here.
