I was very happy with online ordeing and picking the tickets up. The concert itself was a disaster. I should have been paid to attend this event not pay for it.
The sound system as very poor. The concert started 45 minutes late. There was no direction on when will the next singer comes on stage, as it went through the night. They were a lot of slow people on the stage and didn't have breakfast to move fast enough to set the stage up. I haven't seen anything like this in any of the concerts I have been.
This was my first and last Iranian Concert on the West Coast. I live all my life on East Coast and not used to typical low class Iranians from the West Coast. This crowd was 90% of that disgusting audiance. I really reccommand ticketmaster not to sell Persian Concert tickets on the West Coast, it will ruin its reputation.
The stereotype Iranian people from Califonia and Nevada were dressed up to the night for the event, you could so many pretty faces, but as it is well known they couldn't behave. A couple of people were taken away during the concert since they were drunk and they could stop yelling for no reason (arbadeh keshi), and we could smell hashish as we were sitting not too far from the exit.
In the middle of the concert Alireza Amirghassemi, one the annoying typical Persians who thinks very highly of himself came and told the audiance what a great job they have done to bring people together as always. I paid over $320 for this low class concert and he talked about it like we were invited there for free!!!
Every single singer who came on stage said or did something that you really wouldn't expect it from a band which represet a team. Michael was purely rude. Siavash Ghomeishi said he doesn't believe in Chrismas so he won't say Merry Christmas.(2.2 billion people around the globe believe this!) Shadmehr Aghili didn't know that a guy with the name of Jason played in his band and who he was. Moein didn't even bother to introduce his band. (They were extremely unimportant, and he did everything on his own apparently) Mansour came to the stage like a running horse and wouldn't stop talking about politics. Mansour asked who voted for Romney? Who voted for Obama? Who is Democrat and who is Republican? We left 20 minutes after Mansour came.
Overall it was very poor. I feel very lucky to live on the East Coast and enjoy the company of great American people and my lovely Iranian friends. I hope Iran's situation will be normal soon and this typical crowd can go back and live in Iran. This is the only way that West Coast could be livable again!
