点评:This is a long overdue review. Sadly, I did not have a good experience here. I took my teen to see Ricky Montgomery, and the place was packed like sardines… similar to the subway at rush hour. When I bought the tickets, I figured that my teen would go up front, to be in the thick of things, and that I would stay in the back, where the crowds are usually less dense. However, this was not possible. If anything, the crowd seemed to get even denser in the back of the room. The room was not large enough for all of the people, so some of the patrons were spilling out into the lobby. The room was also extremely hot, and we could not purchase water because the concession booths were closed. Recognizing the situation, the staff stood at the front of the stage in between the opener and the main show, passing dixie cups of water through the crowds to people who raised their hands. We had brought bottles of water with us, but they were confiscated at entry, even though they were still sealed (so no possibility that we’d substituted another liquid in place of the water). It seems like a poor policy to prohibit people from bringing in water if you are not going to sell it inside. It wasn’t easy to get the dixie cup, and it wasn’t *enough* water even if you got one. I started to feel nauseous in the middle of the concert. I turned and tried to get to the lobby, but it was impossible to get through the crowd. In my youth, I went to clubs frequently, and I have never seen anything like this. Isn’t there a fire code that limits the # of people in the room? Surely it can’t allow a room to get to such a capacity that no one can exit due to the high density? I've read other reviews, so it seems like this is not *always* the case. I would be very hesitant to go there for another concert, at least if it was a popular group and there was reason to believe that it would be "sold out."
翻译:这是一篇迟来的评论。遗憾的是,我在这里的体验并不好。我带着我的孩子去看 Ricky Montgomery,那里挤得像沙丁鱼罐头……就像高峰时段的地铁一样。当我买票的时候,我想我的孩子会去前面,处于人群最密集的位置,而我会留在后面,那里的人群通常不那么密集。然而,这是不可能的。如果非要说有什么不同的话,那就是人群似乎在房间的后面变得更加密集。房间不够大,容不下所有人,所以一些顾客都挤到了大厅里。房间里也非常热,我们买不到水,因为小卖部关门了。意识到这种情况后,工作人员站在舞台前面,在开场表演和主秀之间,在人群中向举手的人们分发装有水的纸杯。我们带了瓶装水,但入场时被没收了,尽管它们仍是密封的(所以我们不可能用其他液体代替水)。如果你不打算在室内出售水,禁止人们带水进来似乎是一个糟糕的政策。拿到纸杯并不容易,即使你拿到一个纸杯也不够。我在音乐会中途开始感到恶心。我转身试图去大厅,但无法穿过人群。我年轻时经常去俱乐部,从未见过这样的事情。难道没有消防法规限制房间内的人数吗?它肯定不能让房间变得如此拥挤,以至于由于密度高而没有人可以离开?我读过其他评论,所以似乎情况并非总是如此。我会非常犹豫是否要去那里看另一场音乐会,至少如果那是一个受欢迎乐队并且有理由相信门票会“售罄”的话。
