Customer Service at Will Call was on point and I give them five stars…read more
I came for the Zapp & Tuxedo concert. I didn't have my paper ticket, but the day before I arranged thru ETix to have a reprint at will call.
The journey here was long. I left the Bay Area via Amtrak to HNF. From there I drove to Coarsegold. My train was delayed but I made it before 7pm.
Parking was full. I had to park in the garage, luckily found space on the 2nd level. I'm first in line at Will Call, showed them my email & order number, but the staff had issues with their credentials logging on. I gave them my ID & my phone and another agent comes to log-in. She offered me a preprinted ticket in the center, row J. Thanks, but I would like what I paid for and that was row A. She had to login, that's ok I can wait.
Yay, I got my ticket Row A seat 45. I was so grateful & happy that this staff walked me in to my seat. Like I had a personal escort. Funny thing is I had made a joke earlier that if my ticket couldn't be reprinted, a personal escort would do just fine and here I got one. Lol.
If you see my first pic, you can tell the stage was kinda in my way. No biggie, I'll make the best of it. I sat there enjoying my non-alcoholic drinks trying to cool down. The group of the five seats to my left arrived, looked at their seats, made some comments & left. They came back as the show was about to start. One older man, got right in front of me as i was taking pics. When I tapped him, I got the look & some choice words. I think he was already plastered. I didn't say anything. I walked to the restroom and on the way back I stopped by Will-Call to see if I can purchase another single ticket. The nice pretty, petite lady handed me a ticket that was in the same row, but now I'm closer & more centered. I was elated as I explained the reason why I wanted to buy an extra ticket. The staff comped me my ticket. Wow, see how the universe works. Love it! So I walked back to my original seats, grabbed my drinks & began to walk off. Guess who blocked me & got in my way. Yep, that guy again. So I said, "Excuse me" loud enough for him to hear, squeezed by and walked right passed him so he could see I went beyond the rope to my new seat right in the center. No yelling, no calling security, no being a Karen, just lil 'ol' me showing him how I make all big moves in silence.
I sat in my seat. A few moments later, a lady asked me if she could sit next to her mom, (in my seat), and I paused & said Ok, but if the person next to me shows up, I'm going to have to get my seat back. We'll just play it by ear, I said. Well that person never came & universe paid it forward to allow that lady to sit next to her mom.
You would think that would be the end of all concert drama, right? No, that man & his lady ignored the rope and decided to stand & dance in front of me. I think the lady tried to start something by backing up against me. The security saw & kicked them out & the other three back to their section. Bravo security, Bravo. clap 3x. They tried again & this time the head of security in charge yelled at them "Get Back!" And they had to go back & they stayed back. Not only was that being selfish towards me, but the family to my right too. I took enjoyment when the head of security told them that if they did it again, they would be escorted out of the concert. Way to go guy! Way-to-Goooo.
I enjoyed the show with a little bit more satisfaction after that. Tuxedo & Zapp took turns back & forth coming to the stage. Tuxedo sang all their hits, like the Tuxedo Way, Number One, Do it, So Good, & Shy. Great songs to dance to, get the party started. Zapp sung their hits, Heartbreaker, Dance Floor, Computer Love, Alright, I wanna Be Your Man, I can make you dance. Great dancers & musicians.
It cooled down, but being near those lights that close it got hot again. Show started at 8pm & ended at 10pm.
No sticking around for me, I'm not a gambler and IDK there's something about the casino crowd that is very off putting to me. I got my concert on and I was out. First time driving out of this place in the dark. Lots of curves and turns. Drive cautiously you never know what condition the other driver is in.
