Review of The Classic Center

This should be a listening room but..... more like...

This should be a listening room but..... more like a bad dive bar with nice seating. Let me explain. My wife and friend went to see Ray Lamontagne at $70 a ticket. We are avid concert goers and love an intimate environment where we can hear an artist. Apparently people did not come to hear the music but rather drink and be obnoxious. People could be heard all over the theatre cussing at each other and shouting. After several attempts and shhhhhs from the crowd my wife informed a man a woman sitting right behind her that she would like to enjoy the music (they were partying hard and being loud). The lady gets right in my wife's face and tells her "shut the f up, I bought my ticket just like you did". At this point the usher is informed and the usher never offered to move my wife or the disruptive party. Never even spoke with them. Here's how the rest of the evening went. The disruptive couple started a bullying tirade for the rest of the evening. Kicking the back of the chair, putting their feet up on the backs and even poured a glass of wine down my wife's back (the whole glass!!!!!).
What happened to my wife is not fair. There are no people in charge at Classic Center to handle unruly guest. If a fight were to break out who knows... not worth the gamble to be unsafe in what is supposed to be a listening environment. The first clue of clientele was the many "Who Who's!!" being shouted all over the theatre during ballads by the opening act. Never again
