No AC

[DolfanBob]

My Boss was going to Van Halen tonight. And now he is returning his tickets to his friend who rented one of the suites. The band has requested no Air Conditioning to be on during their performance.
This is a first for me. Any ideas about this request ?

AC dries out the vocal cords, there was another request I believe at the BOK for the same thing.

Also causes artificial hips to ache.

Sucks. I've got floor tickets. Still deciding on whether to go or not. I would never have bought the tix if I would've known this.

Better than being up high. Heat rises, you know.

In the 80's this might've made a fun evening with the lady clothes being somewhat less and sweaty.

Not sure what this is going to look like tonight.

I just cant get over them waiting 24 hours before the show to make this announcement.
KMOD is saying that it is just a rumor. But FOX 23 had it on their 9 o'clock news.
I tried calling the BOK and the phone just rings.

I wonder if the AC will be on for "Cool" and the Gang.

Don't think it is a rumor - but one can only hope so. Lots of last-minute ticket offers on craigslist!

According to another forum, the mezzanine (suites?) will have AC.

I bet they will have fans blowing on the stage.

Lightweights. Managed through many a hot show...in more ways than one. So many roads...

So. I guess this will give everyone the cover for their "I suffered through the show..."

It couldn't be the act....

Hey, Cain's has only had A/C for what? 12-15 years?  Remember the odd show in the middle of the summer there?  Holy smile it was hot!  You're right the rest of them need to HTFU!

Foo played there during a nasty hot summer and swore they wouldn't be back if I'm not mistaken.  1996 I think.

I cant find it, but there was mention of a "cooling center" being set up in the lobby for anyone overcome by the heat.

I agree the BOK should disclose any special conditions before charging people for tickets.
