Modest Mouse and Pixies Fucked Over by Ticket Bastards and Climate Change Bullshit Arena in Seattle

False Advertising, Theft, 4th Amendment Violations, Shit Audio, Two Great Bands was it worth it?

Well, I won't do it again. Ticket Master advertised the tickets at $35 each, seemed like a pretty decent price but I actually paid $131 for two tickets by the time Ticket Bastards added all their bullshit fees. I was not informed in advanced that I'd be irradiated and just short of body cavity searched to get in. I DO NOT GO TO PLACES THAT VIOLATE MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS and ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY DO NOT INFORM ME IN ADVANCE, Hence I will not be going to another Ticket Master event nor other events at the Arena. I had a pocket knife which I use for my work, which I was going to be going to immediately after the concert stolen. Well actually extorted, either waste $131 in tickets OR give up a $47 knife. Now as for the audio. The speakers in the Arena are utterly incapable of any bass frequency below 100Hz, had at LEAST 20% harmonic distortion, had absolutely NO transient response on the lows, the highs were good if you sat in a location directly facing the stage, but if you were off to the side, nothing above 8Khz, though you could hear the higher frequencies delayed by about 1-1/2 second after it bounced off the rear of the auditorium. Unfortunately the hanging prison mattresses added to the ceiling during reconstruction didn't help that much. If they had spent a quarter of the amount they spent on LEDs it undoubtedly would have been a better experience, but what would have helped the most would be some semblance of respect and civility and basic honesty on the part of Ticket Bastards and the Arena security staff. I go to lots of events in Tacoma and NEVER get treated like this. Sad to see the city I was born in turn into such a piece of shit.
