They had that chairs-blocking-the-aisle thing at Primm too, but fortunately the ushers did move the chairs out of the way to let Al past during WBUL. As for preventing people from rushing the stage, EPIC FAIL. People in the front row kept getting up, going and standing right in front of the stage, just underneath Al while he was performing, and posing for photos. And security didn't do a thing to stop them. It was a casino show after all, and we kind of suspected these front-row non-Canadian Idiots were offspring or guests of some of the casino's high rollers.NH Weird Al Fan wrote:
I was a little annoyed about the way the seats were set up at the front of the auditorium. As Jeremy said, there wasn't a way back up to the stage directly from the center aisle. The venue had set up seats right across the aisle in rows A and C, blocking access to the stage (their floor seats are movable, for different kinds of events). Al really had to rush to go back up the aisle and around the side of the theater in order to get back to the stage on time for "Girl you must be Jamaican..." This not how the concert seating chart appears on their website. I asked an usher about it, and she said they only do that if they think they need to prevent the audience from rushing the stage...Really???
