Coussoulis Arena

KEVIN HART!!!
I came to Coussoulis Arena to see Kevin Hart perform. It was one of the best events that I have ever gone to and I’ve probably never laughed that hard in my entire life. The seats were amazing and the Arena had a ton of seats. The prices for the food and drink also seemed pretty reasonable for this kind of event.
Noooooow on to the bad. First off, when we parked the parking attendant told us that the arena was in one direction and we saw everyone else going in another direction. Luckily, we followed all the others and were directed to the arena. Then, the line for checking tickets and security was horrendous. Not everyone got in until around 8:30 and Kevin Hart started performing at around 8:15 with the show time starting at 8:00. So a few people missed some of the show, including me. AND THEEEEN, when me and my brother were finally seated, our tickets were checked 4 times. 4 TIMES!!! It really took the wind out of the show and I was distracted for at least 5 minutes because of it.
So overall, the arena had great space, good atmosphere and the show was awesome, but it was disorganized, slow and kind of annoying.
Disclaimer: I got my tickets off craigslist and they may have been fake, which is why they were checked so much, but they looked real and we saw the whole show so extra point for them there.
Security and entrance gets a 1, the show gets a 5. 3 overall for Coussoulis Arena

I am really beginning to love travelling outside of Los Angeles for larger shows. Sometimes I gotta scratch a mainstream itch and it’s been a historical PITA of epic proportions to get tickets to popular things, and striking out on tickets to KROQ’s Acoustic Christmas/​Weenie Roast is better left back in angsty adolescence… it’s so depressing when a show you reallyreally want to see is sold out in four minutes, and I am of the opinion that I am too old to feel such acute failure.
That said, I saw AFI, in all of their venerable East Bay hardcore sXe glory, in the 909 and was wholly delighted by the abundance of cheap and well-​organized parking as well as the affable and efficient security officers. The venue was clean and well-​kept and the space was not –too-​big, not-​too-​small, affording me the opportunity to use my kung fu to get all the way up front and be one of the select few to support Davey Havok’s knees when he crawled out onto the crowd to sing, and I could hear him perfectly because the sound levels in the joint were Just Right.
