    90 minutes after the show started still a 35 minute wait for will call. Missed half of the show. Only available alcohol was in the additional $10 vip area and a separate bar playing different music. Could not hear the live show. I held onto a 10 inch steel beam to stretch out my shoulders and was hit by a bouncer asking what I was going. A small man who was reportedly the owner immediately approached me and shoved me stating "you're out of here". No reason given. Bouncer put me in a head lock and choked me until I almost passed out then pulled me outside. I was sober and I am a rational professional. I do not believe that I deserved this kind of treatment. I do not recommend ever attending a live show at this venue. It is clearly a under 21 nightclub environment with poor management.
