We got to the Iron Maiden show on 2-26-16 an hour and fifteen minutes early at 6:15pm. Then we stood in a slow moving line outside that circled BOK until 8:00pm before making entrance. As we stood in line we noted people cutting in front of us all from varied areas. Inside we were like cattle being led into a bottleneck so that our tickets could be scanned. By the time we got to our seats it was 8:15pm and we'd missed the entire set from The Raven Age, the opening band, except their last song. I am 45 years old, I've been to countless concerts, and I've never had such a poor experience with getting into a venue. We spent nearly $300 for our tickets and were denied the ability to see the first band due to the sheer incompetence of the BOK staff and security. Seeing the full set by The Raven Age is part of our ticket price and the show. As that didn't happen for us and several thousand fans I'd say we were ripped off. Making matters worse, we drove to Tulsa from Des Moines, Iowa, because we'd never been here. So, we won't be returning to spend our hard earned dollars at BOK or in Tulsa because they represent a poor tourist experience.
