It seems Event-related........ Title: BOK Center Events Post by: Admin on August 27, 2008, 01:26:34 pm No, because that forum is for calendar entries.

OKC Ford Center (http://"http://okfordcenter.com/events/Santana.html") ...I might've had to buy a ticket. Title: BOK Center Events Post by: Hoss on August 30, 2008, 05:19:21 pm quote: Maybe because he was booked pretty early? Meh, I liked him OK when I was in highschool. Not so much now. Title: BOK Center Events Post by: Johnboy976 on September 10, 2008, 06:30:02 pm I'm going to say this if nobody else does... Who in the world thought that Janet Jackson was a bigger act than METALLICA?!
Title: BOK Center Events Post by: Hoss on September 10, 2008, 06:55:09 pm quote: I think if you're part of the 'first family of Pop', you're going to get weighted differently than a bunch of former SF hippies who started out in thrash metal (I have all of their CDs BTW, up to and including the Black Album;anything after that was crap, IMO). Title: BOK Center Events Post by: BierGarten on September 11, 2008, 10:40:24 am Just thought I would mention that although the website says that Metallica tickets aren't on sale until September 13th, if you click on "get tickets", sure enough, they are already on sale - got mine!

Title: BOK Center Events Post by: jne on October 01, 2008, 09:41:10 am So if Tulsa really wanted a place on the map with young folks, we'd be doing everything we can to bring Phish (they are booking shows for 09 right now). Wanna drop a money spending bomb on downtown Tulsa? Have a party for trust-funded hippies.

The TU game tonight probably hurt tickets sales[}:)] Title: BOK Center Events Post by: patric on November 18, 2008, 11:48:28 pm quote: The Metallica concert was a new low in that they used metal detectors to make sure people werent bringing cameras inside. One could argue that it was to check for weapons, but if that were the case they would have ignored the little point-and-shoot cameras. Title: BOK Center Events Post by: rwarn17588 on November 19, 2008, 12:07:11 am quote: Metallica probably was trying to keep parts of tonight's performance from showing up on YouTube. Even the dinkiest point-and-shoot cameras now have pretty good video capabilities. For all of Metallica's rough-and-tough and quasi-outlaw posturing, it's been extermely protective of its material. One word: Napster. Title: BOK Center Events Post by: sgrizzle on November 19, 2008, 07:38:14 am quote: Reason #1 I haven't bought anything Metallica since the black album. Title: BOK Center Events Post by: patric on November 19, 2008, 12:44:23 pm quote: Firstly, I dont think the experience of seeing shaky snippets of blocky flash video on YouTube anwhere near compares to the experience of seeing a live concert, so the record label isnt loosing any money that way. Secondly, it's not the job of someone in a TPD uniform to enforce the wishes of the record labels, and thirdly, Napster has been owned by the recording industry since 2001. ...but Im waiting for some suit (or skirt) to say that it was done for our protection. You know, "War on Terror" and all that... Title: BOK Center Events Post by: rwarn17588 on November 19, 2008, 01:10:31 pm quote: Agreed. But tell Metallica that. As I've said, the band tends to overreact. The Napster case made that abundantly clear. And if the music act requests certain security measures in its contract, the venue is obliged to comply, whether it's by rent-a-cop or hired TPD officers. Title: BOK Center Events Post by: Cats Cats Cats on November 21, 2008, 08:41:05 am Somebody told me even cell phones were on the hit list. At the metallica show
Napster BADDD!!!

Nor did they deploy enough metal detectors to deal with what they knew was a sellout house, hence the lines and people upset about missing the show. BOK failed this one. Title: BOK Center Events Post by: sgrizzle on November 21, 2008, 08:35:13 pm quote: I've had the same experience at tons of other Arenas. I went to a concert at OKC where different genders had to enter at different sides of the building and then get patted down. I showed up an hour before the doors opened and got seated after the opening act finished. Title: BOK Center Events Post by: patric on February 03, 2009, 12:23:15 pm Anyone who doesnt think the parking is screwed up there should listen to police on scanners during a major event.
Last night I thought there was one hellova standoff, but it was TPD trying to park people hours on end. Think there was even a high-speed Segway chase [:o)] Title: BOK Center Events Post by: Townsend on February 03, 2009, 12:32:08 pm It's not the parking. It's the Walmart/Target training everyone's had. It freaks them out when they have to start parking down the street.

They must never attend a D-I football game. Heaven forbid they try to go to a concert or event in a city that actually lacks parking (Minneapolis - all the parking is under buildings and impossible to find unless you know what you are doing). At the Walking with Dinosaurs event I went to people were whining about the parking - the ramp behind the convention center wasn't even half full, courthouse parking was open, and the $10-$20 lots nearby weren't full. What they meant was there is no FREE PARKING immediately across from their destination. Building a parking garage or god forbid surface parking dedicated to this structure would be crazy. There are 2 public ramps within 4 blocks. Within 6 blocks there are 3 or 4 more. Surface parking, street parking, all sorts of parking. If there was a dedicated structure it would be empty or the complimentary structures would be empty 350 nights a year (16 MAJOR shows that actually fill the thing). Me? I parked for free near Jo Mammas and walked the ~6 blocks. Oh the humanity! Here's enough cheese for all of the wine: (http://www.american.com/graphics/2007/november/cheese_cellar.jpg) Title: BOK Center Events Post by: Hoss on February 03, 2009, 02:32:38 pm quote: Every event I go to at the BOK (and there are a lot; I have season tix to the Oilers, as much as it pains me to admit it with the season they're having) I have parked at the 100 West parking garage. http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&FORM=LMLTCP&cp=q0s1zb700d6m&style=b&lvl=1&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&scene=16711621&phx=0&phy=0&phscl=1&encType=1 Garage is at lower right, BOK at upper left. That's a total of two blocks maximum, and for most people about a block and a half. It takes me a grand total of 3.5 minutes from the corner of 2nd and Cheyenne to get to the main entrance if I walk. If you get there early enough, that lot is ALWAYS open and has spaces. It has nearly 1200 parking places for Pete's sake. I've lived in a city where arena parking was a pain (Houston) visited many where I've had to walk way further (OKC, Dallas, St. Louis, Kansas City) then I do here. If people are having problems parking, they're not doing it right. Problem is people aren't used to us having big city issues with parking at events because the largest venue we've ever had was 12,000 at the Mabee Center and that has ample parking AND IS PRIVATE. It just doesn't cease to amaze me that there are STILL people complaining about the parking, when that urban legend for this venue anyway has been dispelled. Title: BOK Center Events Post by: cannon_fodder on February 03, 2009, 03:14:20 pm Skelly Stadium used to seat 54,000 and has no parking. But I agree with your sentiment. [:D]
Title: BOK Center Events Post by: PonderInc on February 04, 2009, 04:32:07 pm I've been to several events at the BOK center this year...and most of the time, I can park on the street, for free, at 2nd and Boulder. Once, I had to park in the actual parking garage. Either way, it's 2 downtown blocks from the event. (Much less than you'd walk at Super Walmart to do some basic shopping.)

They announce their upcoming tour schedule on March 09. Title: BOK Center Events Post by: sgrizzle on March 03, 2009, 06:59:02 am quote: Hope so. That would be a great one. I'm hoping with the new venue and high ticket sales, it will be an attractive place to land. |
