IN WRG AN EMAIL, AJ ASSURED ME THAT IF I GOT TO THE VENUE AT 9:30 WH MY GROUP, WE WOULD HAVE "PLENTY OF SEATG" TO CHOOSE OM. WE ARRIVED AT 9:30 WH THE $10 GENERAL ADMISSN TICKETS I BOUGHT ADVANCE. THE SHOW HAD ALREADY STARTED AND HOURS BEFORE (EVEN THOUGH THE TICKETS SAID THE SHOW STARTED AT 10:30) AND THERE WAS NO ROOM FOR TO EVEN STAND. I ULD NOT HAVE AN ENTIRE BACHELORETTE PARTY STANDG THE BACK OF A CROWD ROOM FOR A FUN NIGHT OUT. I REQUTED A MANAGER AND WAED 45 MUT. THE MANAGER SPOKE WH THE OWNER SEVERAL TIM AND TOLD ME I ULD NOT HAVE MY MONEY BACK. I REQUTED TO SPEAK WH THE OWNER AFTER AN HOUR OF WAG AND EXPLAG MY STORY AND SHOWG MY EMAILS OVER AND OVER. THE OWNER WAS LD AND UNSYMPATHETIC AND HAD NOTHG TO OFFER ME BUT THE LD SHOULR. I NNOT BELIEVE THE WAY I WAS TREATED. I SPENT SO MUCH TIME MUNITG WH AJ AND TABLISHG A TIMELE FOR MY LARGE GROUP AND NO ONE WAS ABLE TO HAVE A GOOD TIME. I LOST $150 AND HAD TO E UP WH NEW PLANS BEE EVERYONE'S FEET HURT OM STANDG HIGH HEELS AND NO ONE ULD SEE THE SHOW. THE MANAGER ACTUALLY CRIED BEE HE FELT SO BAD FOR .
