| - Unfortunately, I can't base my review on the actual place, but about the experience we had with it. But I figured that I needed to mention this, so here goes.
We were hoping to go to Madison for NYE, and therefore decided to buy tickets in advance. Having purchased 11 tickets, we made our way to the venue around 10.45PM, and there was total chaos outside the pub. Not only that, there was no preference given to people who had pre-purchased tickets. Generally, the idea of buying tickets in advance is that you make the effort to go to the venue and pick up tickets so that your entry is guaranteed and you don't have to wait in line, hoping for there to be tickets available at the door. Also, tickets that are bought in advance should be taken into account when considering capacity and turnout, because those people are definitely going to show up.
I wish they could've had a better system in place for NYE. What started out as a seemingly efficient system of selling advance tickets to reduce rush on the actual evening, turned out to appear as little more than a money-making scheme. That's $110 they pocketed from us, with no benefit to us.
