Abjeez Tickets

The concert was supposed to start at 8. They did not even let us in till 8:30 although we all had our tickets. The Abjeez started at 10:40! People were upset and tired, since there were no seats to sit down. Abjeez did not even bother to apologize. There was NO announcement regarding how much delay it would be! Unbelievable! When I wrote to Abjeez the next day letting them know that the delay was unacceptably long (with no apology), they responded they were waiting for A FEW fans who had not reached the theater from San Diego yet! As if all those fans who were waiting for 3 hours for the concert to start were not important! The sound quality was so poor, most people started leaving around 11 (just 20 mins after the show started. They were mostly hanging out at the door (next to the bathroom) or outside, or just simply left. Our group of 5 left at 11, disappointed and tired, although we were big fans of Abjeez. The bar charged us 11 dollar for what they called dirty martini in a plastic cup. When we asked where is the olive in the martini, the always unhappy bartender yelled he did not have any! But there was a cup of olives on the counter, so we pointed that out to him, he added one olive to each martini which was all olive juice with absolutely less than a drop of liqueur in it. He was constantly mad and ignored all the guest, as if he hated his job. The next day I noticed that the bartender had actually stolen from me: he charged my card another 5 dollars on top of the total for drinks and tip. I wish I had not tipped him. He ripped us off although I had a signed copy of the receipt for the total charge.

The show stared 1h late and the sounding was so bad. The event started with another group which we did not know that. They played for 1h30. Abjeez played at 10h30 instead of 8h00. I was so upset. I was tried so I left at 11.00 The organizer did a bad job.

This venue has drifted so far from the glorious days it has seen that it is not recognizable. To Start withe the will call/ticket purchase line was long and very very slow while two ghetto security guards kept yelling at people and pushing and shoving people in the line to create an open corridor in the side walk as if it was anybody's fault that they couldn't figure out a system. Then they made you wait in another line while you got the same ugly treatment again by these goons. It would take them about a minute to get two people in who had tickets. A minutes to check an id, look at the ticket and stamp their hand while being treated like animals. When we got in i had to wait 30 minutes to get a beer. Finally the sound was most horrible I have ever heard. the vocals for both band were so muffled I couldn't hear what language they were singing in. The goons in the isles were treating this somewhat 30something crowed like they were rappers from south central. Constantly yelling and shoving people around like cowhands at a barn. They were all on the take. At the door you could get in without a ticket. Can you believe it. Inside same story to walk up to what they called VIP seats. My friend on crutches was sitting back there and they wouldn't let me go say hi to her when we went to the place together. All and all a long except a few moment boring concert with horrible everything! NEVER WILL ATTEND ANY SHOWS AT ROXY OR RECOMMEND IT>
