Awesome music, not awesome venue
by Rip on 2022-09-17The Danforth Music Hall - TorontoRating: 3 out of 5Bands were amazing! No regrets about all the performances. Unfortunately the venue was not set up very well. I purchased mezzanine general admission tickets, and found that security would not let us into the general admission floor area at all. I wasnāt able to purchase any band T-shirtās from the opening acts because they were all in the General Admission area. I found t strange that I had restrictions in access even though my tickets cost more. As well, security didnāt care who they let up to the mezzanine, I had to ask people to move out of my seat. Also; Security wouldnāt let me thrash in the aisles for āsafety reasonsā, so I was forced to stand at my seat to show my appreciation to the bands. This lead to disagreements with other patrons about blocking their views of the concert( though to be fair, no one who is able should sit at a Metal concert. The seats are for between sets people! )
I had multiple arguments with security about common sense issues which soured my experience a bit. Thank the Universe that all the Bands were worth the crappy venue.
