After old school hip hop concert started, there were no ushers to control crowd. They left their seats to crowd the stage and aisles. People that paid good money for floor seats, our view was blocked by people who did not pay to be close to the stage. I had to stand in my seat to see the concert.

Attended the Fleetwood Mac concert and quite disappointed at the LONG, LONG lines to purchase an alcoholic beverage. Honestly there was 1 person pouring wine, serving beer, and taking payment! They clearly should have hired additional servers/cashiers for this evening, as spending 30 minutes on line was ridiculous.
