Libby Gardner Concert Hall — Attraction in Salt Lake City

The venue is normally very nice, but tonight, not at all. I took my 5-year old daughter on a daddy-daughter date to the U of U Chamber Choir concert.

We should have been told where the seats were before we spent the money. Previously when attending events at Libby Gardner hall none of the seats have been reserved so we assumed that this would be the same. What a deception! If normal seats were sold out, we should have been told before we paid for the tickets. Just another example of a...
