I always thought it was 21 and over. But this one shouldn't be, especially since there was a change of venue & tickets had already been sold. :shrug: Chaz!!!! :help:
 
:gah: x2

I called the HOB and left a message for someone. We'll see if she calls back (somebody's assistant). Couldn't get a human on the line. :|
 
I called and left another message. I don't know if it's a generic mailbox or actually the manager's mailbox, which was the person I was trying to reach.

I tried emailing a generic support@hob.com email address located on the HOB site. This is what I got...


Hello Fan,

Thank you for contacting the Live Nation Customer Care Team.

Unfortunately, House of Blues age limits are strictly enforced. As of now, there does not appear to have been an official announcement regarding the change of venues. As soon as that occurs, you will receive an email with details regarding any changes and what the refund policy will be for this show.

We are always looking for new ways to improve on the fan experience. If you need more help with this or any other question you can reply to this email, contact us by phone at 877.LYV.TIXS (877.598.8497), or find us online at Concert Tickets and Concert Tour Dates | Live Nation.

Please tell us how we're doing:

Chaz - you have any contact information or any way to get Maddy in? I don't know if Devlin already bought our tickets :( :sigh:
 
I didn't buy the tickets yet but have my fingers crossed that Maddy can come. I have been to all-ages shows at the HOB in Anaheim so it's not like the company has a blanket 18-and-over policy.
 
I know - you'd think it shouldn't be an issue, especially for this show. We were at Disneyland a couple of years ago when JT played the HOB Anaheim, and we stopped in and listened to a few songs before we had to leave. :shrug:

The latest response from the Customer Service email...

Hello Fan,

Thank you for contacting the Live Nation Customer Care Team.

I apologize for your frustration, as of now there has been no official announcement as to the change in venues. The House of Blues website lists the show as 18+, and as stated earlier age limits are strictly enforced. Whether or not that listing is in error or a change from the earlier venue will be determined as soon as there is an official announcement, at which time you will receive an email from Live Nation.


So I wonder if/when there will be an announcement of the venue change. Chaz? :help:
 
The last response I received this morning...

Hello Fan,

Thank you for contacting the Live Nation Customer Care Team.

Unfortunately, the new show is 18+, and the House of Blues enforces all age limits strictly. Here is the email that was sent out to people who purchased tickets through Live Nation.

Your current tickets for the Hollywood Palladium will be honored at the new venue. If you are unable to attend because of the change in venue, you may request a refund.

We so wanted to be there too. I am cry! :scream:

I don't know if you want to give them a call or if Chaz is around, if he can get her on a list or something. I'd still pay for us. :shrug:

I just want to go there and watch them turn away anyone who has tickets under 18.

My theory on the change of venue would be poor ticket sales. So why limit a few people who actually might want to go. And who weren't alive in the 80s to boot! :gah:


Music should be for all ages.
 
I'm working with the event organizers to get it changed. We are not happy about it either.

When JT played HOB Anaheim last time, it was listed at 18+ but then at the venue they said it was all ages so it can be done. We now just need to get LiveNation and HOB to agree with us that it should be all ages.

We still have more than a week so I'll keep trying. Don't give up yet!
 
UPDATE:

We have calls in with HOB and LiveNation asking them to make the show all ages. I cannot think of any reason why they would have issues with this. As soon as I get the answer, I will post it here.

Regarding tickets:

If you get them through Ticketmaster, they are $20 + a $2.50 facility charge and TM's typical $8.95 convenience charge.

If you get them that night at the door they will be $22.50 but I'm pretty confident that you will not get hit with the TM $8.95 fee, however you run the risk of it being sold out. I'd advise stopping by HOB when the boxoffice opens, getting your tickets and then going to dinner if you do not get them before the 21st.

A slight change in the set list that was posted. We have pulled Two Hearts Beat As One and put in An Cat Dubh / Into the Heart.

Finally on dressing for the evening....who wants to see Carlos dressing in his best Miami Vice gear??

I'll keep checking the thread :hyper:
Devlin - are you dressing up?
Carlos in Miami Vice clothing :lol:

Chaz, why would you pull Two Hearts? :sad:
