Rating: 4 out of 5Great idea....poor execution?
by Cass83 on 11/9/17United Center - ChicagoI attended the pre-show GnR party. I arrived later than I hoped because my ticket gave zero instructions on how to find the "concert bar".
So FYI-go to the Atrium and through GATE 4.
The room itself is slick and there is a decent amount of seating. Most of it is for parties of 4+ so 2somes end up taking too large of tables and seating becomes limited.
The entertainment, Hairbanger's Ball was great. It was loud enough to be a party atmosphere. It seems easy to get food ordered, as long as you have a seat. The service at the bar was dreadfully slow though-which is disconcerting since this is a paid-VIP party.
The party cost an extra $20 for me to attend (actually it was $39.50 after all of the fees), but I didn't have my own seat to get service (to eat) and I didn't get access to cocktails since the bar was slow. So I'm conflicted because it was a nice room with good entertainment, and the potential to sit and have dinner rather than stand outside of a concession stand on the concourse.
Final thought: get there early enough to get a seat/server and be aware that you will have to drop some cash to attend.
