I am normally a HUGE fan of The Myth. I will continue to see shows there! They do have their downsides however.
First of all, after last nights show, Lindsey Stirling & Dia Frampton, I've decided to never see another all ages show there again. The lack of A/C which is ALWAYS an issue there, got 10 times worse last night. TOO many kids, too many non drinkers making a lot less movement. So much so that people were passing out. I've never had to be packed into any venue to the point of sharing sweat with the person next to me. We were so jammed in there that the person next to you had their shoulder in the middle of your chest, and so on and so forth down the line. There was ZERO movement for over 3 hours.
With that being said, it is still one of the best places to see a show. It's got great views no matter where you are standing. There are places to sit, or attempt to sit before you pass out, however you will never see the show from them. You can get VIP, but every time I try, it's at least $1500 PLUS bottle service. Closer to $5k a lot of the time when you ask them the night of the show. Any successful businesses I know would lower the price to sell the product to make money and earn customer loyalty, perhaps some day they will learn.
The sound system is top of the line and I have never been disappointed. With dozens of shows and decent prices, why not check it out. I can only hope that they stop maxing out the capacity so that people can breath in there. Also...work on that A/C situation please!!
Bartenders situation...yes...there is always an issue with that. Keep in mind, unless you have been a bartender at a place like this, you will not understand. You work the bar from one end to the next, with over 25 people screaming at you from all directions and 3-4 bartenders behind each bar, it is NOT an easy task. SO I challenge you folks who complained about getting a drink to attempt it for even 1 hour, and you'll see things from an entirely different view. They have 3 bars to get a drink, and if you are a drinker, be patient, polite and deal with it. You may think you're the most important person there, however you are not!
Security. I have had many situations with them there and have never had an issue. Again, unless you have to deal with sweaty abusive drunks every night for your employment, you won't understand. Their job is to keep the place calm, safe and not to be "your friend". What do you people expect? I'm sure there is a huge difference between concert nights and club nights however their job remains the same. If you are a decent person, you shouldn't have an issue with them. If you are drunk or an entitled little brat, I can see how you would complain.
Every time I have left there they have all of the main doors in the front of the building open. In case of emergency there are many other exits, however yes, their goal is to funnel you through the front doors. They need to make sure you aren't taking any alcohol out with you, and also there are always cops standing outside to deal with any problem people or issues.
There is one thing that has always bothered me, and that is the "panic" aspect. Even with plenty of exits, (your job to find them no matter where you are) the amount of people that they pack in there and the fact that they will serve you until you are falling on the floor, leads me to believe that if in fact there was even an emergency in there, people would most likely be trampled to death. read more
