Although this is a great place for music, I take acceptation to the greed of the board of directors and management. A good number of the people you see at events are volunteers, giving their time to help make this place a success. A good number of Calgary's elite have donated great sums of money to assist in this venture. However, I find the management a little on the greedy side. The volunteers are asked to give additional monetary donations, as if their time is not enough. Also, any tips given to volunteers are forfeited back to Studio Bell. That is fine, except my complaint is when I give a person a tip for good service, server, coat check, bar tender, I am giving that person a monetary thank you, not the management. Also, I have been told the tip jars are put out by the Management. This seems deceitful and greedy to me. Lets thank the volunteers for their hard work and efforts.
