Bayou Place — Attraction in Houston

We had tickets for a Troy Sivan concert bought months before in June at the Sugarland Town Center to take my teen daughter and friend. The demographics for this performer is mainly teen girls 13, 14, 15ish. I purposely bought SEATS because I didnt want to stand in a pit for hours. Days before the concert I receive notice that the venue has moved downtown to Revention Center. Really? I hate that place. Standing room only...no seats. Really loved all the homeless people sleeping next to the venue and tour buses under the bridge. Way to represent Houston to outsiders. Doors were to open at 6:30 but didn't open until 6:50. We stood outside in line wrapped around the bldg for about an hour+. Check-in was good and I liked the security process with metal detectors and bag/purse check. Safety first. All the parents there with their teen kids had a choice of standing the whole event or being completely away from our kids in the front of the bldg. Creepy. Me and the other parents were very disappointed. I know this place has hundreds of folding chairs and there were ample seats in the balcony that were roped off to everyone. You could buy a table for $100ish. Thanks for letting me stand for 4 hours after working all day on a Monday. My daughter had a great time at least and I would do anything for her. Performers were good as was security. That being said...the event I went to prior to this one did have folding seats and we were crammed in so tight it was awful. Was only 3 rows back and couldn't barely see the stage with tall people in front of us...and the guy sitting next to my mom took up half of her seat and she was half on mine. Thank goodness the people didn't show up next to me so I could move to that seat. Awful experience. ...

If you don't use valet parking, it's a challenge to get parking at one of the city's overpriced meters. Plus the COH's parking permit machines sometimes charge your credit card and don't give you a parking permit. Basically going to Bayou Place or parking anywhere downtown is something I'm going stop doing. Downtown Houston is sadly not a consumer friendly area. It's fine if you work there and have paid parking at or near an office building, but if you don't work there it's not really worth the effort and...
