I've been to BoMA numerous times and never had a problem. I really enjoy the place. I was just there for Trauma and had no issues getting in. Since this is not the first tix issue (Tiesto), does anyone know if the tix issues are a result of the promoter or BoMA?

Great concert last night. That being said, BOMA is the worst run venue I've ever been to. I waited in line for almost an hour to get into that place. They had one idiot up at the front scanning tickets with a iphone. Multiple people including someone I was with were turned away at the door bc the reader said the tickets were duplicates. Which wasn't true. If you didnt have tickets though u could walk right up and buy one and get right in. Doesn't make sense. I don't think I'll ever go back there again.never, ever, ever will i return either. not only the long ass line and the line jumpers throughout, but once inside it was a college house party, 1 restroom for women with a 50-lady long line, expensive beers, nasty decor (where's the ART?), crappy sound, crappy DJ, didnt even stay to see Sleigh Bells. and we dont regret it.

Ive never waited in a line like that before. We were pretty close to leaving and just wasting our ticket because of the line. That place needs to fix whatever caused this.

Since this is not the first tix issue (Tiesto), does anyone know if the tix issues are a result of the promoter or BoMA?tickets were a result of showclix sending us a defunct scanner. everyone was still allowed entry and were not turned away. infact, after too many known tickets were scanned invalid, we just scrapped the whole scanning process. showclix actually sent us a droid camera instead of a real scanner to scan the tickets. not acceptable.
any time 2000+ people show up for a show there are going to be long lines. i do think that boma needs more bathrooms though. a venue that holds that many people needs at least 3 per sex in my opinion.
as for the sound, that's a huge question mark. spent $3k in additional sound for the venue. some people said it was too loud, which i could see... but it was definetely better than anything i've ever heard before in that venue including major lazer which i paid a lot of money too boost as well.

I agree with Schoolboy on the sound - each time I've gone, the sound has been way better than most venues in Columbus. Not sure what extras I've witnessed but I've always noticed the quality. Perhaps it was the music? (joking - keep trying but simply can't get into sleigh bells).
