| - just saw SOJA at the marquee on tuesday night. we came up from tucson for this concert.
it was pretty easy to find, but once we got there, the parking situation was kind of a mess. when you enter, there's parking to the left but someone told us that you had to pay for the parking there. so we asked one of the lot attendants where we could park and they suggested a parking structure across the street.
so we went on this quest to find parking. after failing at that, we came back and a different attendant told us to turn left out of the parking lot and there was parking on a lower level. we had to walk around near the river and up some stairs, but it was fine. i was glad to park out so far because there was no traffic when we left.
the will call people were nice. my husband forgot his ID in the car (far, far away) and let me use my ID to get the tickets. then, when we entered my husband decided he needed his ID for a beer. even though signs said no re-entry: no exceptions, they made an exception for him!
the marquee was big enough to have quite an audience for the show, but small enough to still feel intimate. the cover band came on and it was pretty hot in there with all the people standing around. they had some industrial fans set up and some air blowing through vents, but it wasn't until the main act came on that they put on the actual air conditioning. praise the lord, or they would have had people fainting! i know it's november, but it's still phoenix and it still got pretty warm in there!
i love the parent company of the marquee, they have some great venues and bring in great talent to arizona. even though this was two hours away, it was worth the drive for us! can't wait to see more great shows in 2014 here!!
