So Im torn in giving this place 2 stars. I went to see SHINee this summer and lol by far the worst experience I ever had in a concert. The actual show, the presentation, meaning SHINee, was perfect. The problem was before and after. I got there around 3 hours before the show due to trying to pick up my pre order of merchandise. When me and my group of friends got there the line was ridiculously long already, which Im okay with, is normal. However, as time passed and the doors opened the line moved every 30mins, it resulted that where the big line was it was only ONE of the plenty entrances the place has but not a single staff/security member said anything, they just let the line loop around itself. When i was half way through a security guy pointed that there were other entrances and we literally ran because the show was about to start in 10mins. The ticket buying process was also a mess from the fact that the venue did not allow us to select the seats we wanted to showing an available section but giving us a far away one. It took us about an hour until it generated a good seats selection. After the show the lack of organization showed through. The cash lines and debit/credit cards line were not seperated so there were people that would reach the merch table and sent back to the end of the line they were supposed to be at, which is bs cause they could have easily pass them to the other person.Also, it was a no re entry venue and no where in the ticket stated that, some Shawols were complaining about not being to come back in to buy more merch after they were out of the lobby area. Again, I'm torn because it seems it was more of a management/event planner issue than the venue, but who knows. Parking was a mess as well, but the lack of organization really killed it for me. SHINee was perfect, though.
