The actual performance of Stryper was awesome. Stage, sound, lighting all great. What I don't understand is why the City of Pharr doesn't hire a true professional to manage the venue, because I sure can't imagine that they currently have someone competent at the moment. We were in line for more than and hour waiting in line to get in. While in line we observed a guy who was wearing an employee badge constantly coming out and getting his buddies inside through some side doors. Then after finally making it inside we were told that if you paid for VIP tickets you needed to form another line inside to get your arm band to be let into the VIP section!

We spoke with the owner and he told us we had to go outside and buy tickets all over again. Plus they were not asking anyone for their ID’s when it came to buying alcohol. First and last time we will be coming here. The service was horrible. They only had 2 stands to buy beer but you can only imagine how long the lines were. They were not...
