| - Thievery & corruption at its finest! It was my birthday and the band RED was playing. I purchased a bowling lane so that my party could have a place to chill and watch the band. The price of a lane for this show was $327 plus the price of all the tickets, equaling a total cost of nearly $500. So once the band started, the sound was so bad that nobody could hear the vocals and this continued for about 7 songs. Keep in mind there were less than 100 people at this show, and we were the only people that purchased any sort of "vip" table. So after a good 30-40 minutes my friend and I walked over to the sound booth and told the sound guy that the vocals couldn't be heard. His response was "get the fuck out of here". Not exactly the response I expected but ok, this is Las Vegas after all lol. My friend and I continued to hang out on the floor watching the band and a few minutes later we walked back to our table and while on our way, got cut off by security. If you can believe this... They kicked us out!! They kicked us out for talking to the sound guy. Just to make this very clear, neither of us were drunk. We had a few drinks but were in no way belligerent. The whole time they were kicking us out we were calm and respectful. I tried speaking to the manager but he kept his back towards me and wouldn't acknowledge me. Security wouldn't let us go back to our table to get our belongings, they wouldn't even escort me back to get our belongings. Had I not had a few friends still at the table, Brooklyn Bowl would have kept our belongings and not given them back. We also had money left on a pre-purchased bar tab that was stolen from us and not refunded. Now heres the best part.... One of the security guards was actually on our side and told everyone that he thought it was weird that the vocals couldn't be heard. He also said we were the only people who purchased a table and it was clear that he didn't like what was happening to us. Now, I don't expect someone to do what I suggest when it comes to a bands production. I'm not there to step on toes, I'm just there to have a good time wanting to here the vocalist. As someone who has been in bands my whole life, there's nothing worse than playing a live show and finding out after you played that nobody could hear you. So as you can expect, none of us will ever attend another event or anything at Brooklyn Bowl. To be treated this way is absolutely insane! If the venue or sound guy felt that we were out of line, then security and management should have talked to us like adults and asked us to go back to our table and enjoy the rest of the show. Had I known that speaking to the sound guy was cause for ejection, than I would have stayed the heck away lol.
