Where should I start, went with cousins, sister and brother inlaw last night to see O.A.R. at the now Comcast Center. We packed up the car, got some beers, etc... Now when you are pulling into the parking lot there are lit up signs saying now alchohol on the premesis at all, thought just because it was a younger crowd. We are all 26-32 years old didn't think it would be a big deal to have a few beers in solo cups while waiting to go in. WRONG!!!! The event staff, cops, who ever now can come up and look into your cup, if it is a alcholic beverage you have to dump it out, possible open container arrest or even be escorted off of the property. I understand trying to control the under-age drinking but it is rediculous. We all sat in the car like 15 year olds trying to enjoy a few beers, but had to hide them every time the cops came up to the car weaving in and out of the cars.
Then a few younger kids got into a pushing match next to us and the event staff acted like there was going to be a world war. This white trash pos event staff guy grabbed on of the kids and kept on slamming him up against the golf cart like it was a bad episode of cops. It was total bs, they ran around on their walkie talkies calling for back up, give me a break. One kid had a BC crew jacket on and the other had a hat on backwards, looked like a big threat to me, rediculous.
Then we got inside, bought and $8 beer. I went to go buy another after I sold my car in the parking lot and they have stopped serving beer at 9:15.
The place is rediculous, after talking to a security guard inside, he told me that since Comcast took over 9 concerts ago, the place has turned to lock down. I have Jimmy Buffet tickets for next month and we all know how much of a booze fest that is, he said that it will be strict for that, told me to get rid of my tickets.
So, anyone looking to go and have some fun at the Comcast Center beware. The music was good, but the venue has turned to the dumps. We are responsible adults, my brother inlaw doesn't drink so we were all safe, but could not even enjoy ourselves, the parking lot scene was too tense like big brother was standing over you. I have never seen so many people get arrested before.
