Veterans Memorial Civic and Convention Center — Attraction in Lima

Another Great Show. The Only Complaint Being We Were Front Row Handicap And Even Though Security Attempted MULTIPLE TIMES To Clear The Aisle As Soon As He Would Go Back To His Main Station People Would CROWD THE STAGE In Front Of My Wife Which Is Completely Wheelchair Bound. Other Fellow Patrons Were TRYING TO Keep People From Pushing The Stage And Aisles But We're RUN OVER As Well.... I DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST ANYONE Coming Forward To See The Band And Touch Respectfully Etc BUT TEMPORARILY.....NOT THE WHOLE SHOW THERE......I Wished The Bands Would Have Been Able To Stay Around After The Show But Was Advised They Left Immediately After The Last Song To Get To Their Next Venue(I Understand).. I Tried Purchasing The Opening Act FASTEST LAND ANIMAL Shirts But They Wanted To Sell Their Own Personally Which Was During The Premier(TESLA) Show. When We Got Out To The Lobby After The Show ALL SWAG SALES WERE PICKED UP AND GONE!... I ALSO FEEL That Being In MY COUNTY That I Pay Taxes For The Convention Center AND Also Being A Veteran That I Would Qualify For Discounts In BOTH INSTANCES.... Because We Now Are OUTSOURCING Our Venue For Tickets/Etc We Do Not Qualify For ANY DISCOUNTS.... EVERY ONE OF THE STAFF WAS...

We had a wedding reception here and when we got to the party they could not get the kegs to pour correctly. The manager that was on duty that night was very arrogant and tough to work with. We finally got the issue resolved and went on with the night. We accidentally left our bag of cards from our guests and the next day they were no were to be found. They have no cameras in the facility (which is kinda weird in downtown Lima) I called the manager (Matt I think) to speak about the matter and he didn't want to hear any of it. We know we had the cards when only our parents were left in the room and when we went to leave we left them behind. He assured me there's no way his staff could have done anything with them and it must of been the people that were there that took them. Basically saying our own parents stole our cards. His attitude on the phone was so poor I had to just hang up. He should find a new job because public relations does not suit him well. In short it was a terrible night that we will never forget and I recommend finding somewhere else to...

The show was fabulous!! Civic Center not so fabulous!! We had six wheelchairs, two people with walkers and five of us walking. When tickets were purchased 3 weeks before program....questions about wheelchairs and walkers were asked. We were assured no problems. These questions were addressed because we were taking Residents of our Nursing Home to see the show. Upon arriving we were placed against the first row of seats, with guests in them. Then informed fire code was isles must be clear. You can't place a wheelchair in an isle and have it clear. Ushers were upset because our residents could not be moved into chairs. Finally, after show started, some wheelchairs were at bottom of auditorium, some at top of auditorium. Our three walking Residents were seperated as no seats together were available. Two seats were found for four of us taking them to show. At one point we were told "The show was for children, we shouldn't have brought them". I guess my question is " Who paid their taxes to build the Civic Center?" Oh...
