What YOU NEED TO KNOW Before you get ROBBED by this Venue
I couldn't find any of this information online, or on the reviews, so I'm going to let you guys know what I found out(too late) and got robbed blind by this venue.
The VIP ACCESS AREA IS NOT WORTH IT! I labeled the pictures. You stand way in the BACK. It's the furthest vantage point from the stage. If you want to sit in those barstools near the railing, it's $70 extra. Other that, you have to stand near the ramp OR behind the people with the $70 barstool seats.
They offered to upgrade me to the $70 barstool seats, BUT THEN THERE IS ANOTHER UPGRADE, for $100 table seats to the left side of the venue, with a much higher vantage point. And a much better view from the side. ANOTHER CATCH! You can't buy a SINGLE table seat, YOU HAVE TO buy TWO seats, so $200. Luckily I found another single-concert goer, so we went in together and purchased a table together. That's still $100 per seat, so I paid $100 and he paid $100.
The drink prices and food prices are OUTRAGEOUSLY HIGH! I have attached a picture of that as well.
Plus, the service at the "special tables," not so special. It was super inconvenient that the server didn't show up to take any trash away, or ask for any refills. The dude sharing the table with me had to leave the concert to go to get a refill on his drink at the bar because the waitress never showed back up.
Then she-MAGICALLY decides to show up during the artists' encore, and tries to settle the tab. I'm not a person to walk away and not pay for my meal, but I know a lot of people aren't like that. I would have closed out my tab after the encore song was over. Ruined the last song for me completely. I would have settled my tab earlier if she would have SHOWED BACK UP DURING THE HALFWAY POINT OF THE CONCERT. She also didn't offer a receipt, so now I'm fearful of getting scammed.
This venue will rip you off BLINDLY. Neither me, nor the man I shared a table with knew about the $100 seats beforehand, or about the $70 barstools in front of our standing area in front of the VIP ACCESS AREA.
I hope the artist is getting some of the profits for all these schemes this venue charges for. Instead of pocketing the money just for themselves.
The only benefit to the VIP ACCESS, was the "fast lane," just buy the "fast lane pass." And get there early to get an awesome spot to stand. It's what I should have done to begin with. But now I know and I wanted others to know too.
