Went to see Usher at San Manuel last night. All that I can say is that it was a waste of money. First off, I had never been there so I figured it was like any other casino: underage people are allowed in, just not on the casino floor. Plus I figured we are going to the concert, not the casino, so why does it matter. Well it did. My girlfriend didn't have her ID so she couldn't get in, so there went her 100+ dollar ticket. She had to drive all the way back home (which is not close)! I ran into several other groups having the same exact problem.
Event staff was incredibly rude. Everything was very very disorganized. There were lines everywhere for different things and none of them were labeled, and they each took forever.
First show i have ever been to where there was no opening act. Usher came on at 8 when it started at 7:30 and there where still tons of people waiting in all sorts of lines outside, so tons of people couldn't get in for the whole performance. On top of that, even though there was supposed to be assigned seating, people were milling around all over and no one was where they were supposed to be. It was like chaos. Usher sounded pretty good, but the room was horrible for the type of sound he puts out ( lots of bass), and he was performing his ass off, but those are the only good things I have say about this show.
Usher wasn't even on for an hour and a half! The show ended right about at 9!! So since he barely performed, and had no back up band performing in front of him, and because of the serious disorganization, many many fans paid over $100 to see him perform for like 45 minutes. Easily the worst show I have ever been to.
