Great concert, serious venue problems
by Meshuggah on 10/13/21Irving Plaza - New YorkFirstly, the concert was amazing. This review is about the new Irving Plaza. I spent extra money to be in the balcony...unfortunately, that only includes the left side, where the rail was already filled so I had no space to stand where I could see the stage. The rest of the balcony charges an additional $50/55/65 for the privilege. Also bought a pass to their new lounge, where "if you don't want to be on your feet for 5 hours, you can watch the event on our screens." Decided to watch Carnifex here....but the sound system absolutely sucks and they had it turned all the way down....I lasted 2 songs then went up to the venue (where the balcony was useless).
