I ******* hate this place. Burn it down. Seriously. What a complete ******* antiquated dump.
So you buy a ticket to a gig at Festival Hall. You look up where it is. The middle of ******* nowhere. Good start.
You finally get there and walk in, instantly realising you're in a museum. It must be heritage listed because clearly ******* nothing has been touched since the early 60's. But that's okay. Maybe you'll go get a drink. EFTPOS/Paywave? LOL NOPE. Those credit cards, they're just a fad, they'll never catch on. No need to worry about them at Festival Hall!
Say you're on the floor. Only one exit. That just screams safety doesn't it? Or maybe you're lucky enough to get a seat. Perhaps up in the balcony? Looks like a nice view on the seating map. So you turn up and see these are clearly the same seats people would've sat in to watch The Beatles perform. As ancient as the rest of the dump. And if you're anything above 5'6" you can forget about leg room. Someone next to you wants to get out and grab a drink? You're all getting up to let them through. And then getting up again to let them back in.
Or perhaps you're sitting off to the side. Great. You're sitting in 1990's primary school style bucket seats. Kid sized too! And don't forget the 8 foot cable fence and poles obscuring your view in those seats too. The seats you paid full price for. And, just to make it even better, you have useless ******* security guards walking back and forth in front of you every 30 ******* seconds doing very important things like stopping people taking photos. Because apparently at Festival Hall it's still 1985. And they've got the venue to match.
Burn the *er down.
