One of the most disappointing shows
by Mike A on 12/3/25The Fillmore Detroit - DetroitRating: 2 out of 5I have seen dozens of shows at the Fillmore, previously The State Theater, and I doubt if I will ever go back. TAB is one of my favorite acts and his performance was great as always, but Live Nation is to blame. They could not get 2800 people into the venue on time for the start of the show. I missed most of the first set waiting in line for 2 hours then I was searched in a manner similar to an airport which is ridiculous for a small concert venue after being told by Ticketmaster there would be no search just a metal detector which was a lie. This was likely the reason for the wait to get in. In addition, the event was so oversold there was no actual viewing space for GA ticket holders and spent a majority of the show listening from the lobby. Even the premium seating area which I visited briefly was so small 4 people could bare stand at the same time. Research revealed some bands boycotted Live Nation altogether and now I understand why. Unacceptable.
