Luxy

Postby fibericon » Sat Apr 14, 2012 01:33

So my wife and I buy tickets to see the LMFAO show there, but the band never showed up. They took our tickets at the door and didn't say a word about it being cancelled. It would have been less of a waste if we had just thrown the ticket money straight in the trash. At least then we wouldn't be paying for transport and wasting our time as well. This was a scam, simple as that. They just lost two customers permanently - not that they care, of course.

Even if the band had shown up, the place was so crowded that it was hard to breathe. What's the point of selling tickets if you're going to just cram everyone in there anyway?

I'm going to be dedicating a fair chunk of my spare time to creating as much of a thorn in their side over this as I possibly can.

Serves you right for buying tickets to see LMFAO in the first place. Karma, dude. :twocents:

Fibericon, did you ask for a refund or ask to see the manager?

Staff ignored us when we were there. I'm going to be emailing them to see if I get a more useful response. They did, however, go through the trouble of deleting my post about it on their facebook wall.

And yet they insist they're not "Chinese".

Are you sure it was cancelled? Based on some of the pics posted by some of my Facebook contacts it seemed the show took place last night.

From what I heard, a show took place although they were very late. It does seem like Luxy should have made an announcement about it if they were late.

They did. None of us heard it though, for the better. BTW more champagne than even a dozen elephants could drink.

Here is what I heard, so maybe others can corroborate this: The gig actually did happen but they went on at 1AM/2AM. And the show was hindered by technical problems and the band screwing around and not performing. Apprently, it stank and lots of people bailed early. And even more remote info (read: possible rumor) is that the band also bailed about half an hour in.

I haven't been to Luxy in a while, but I just saw this photo of the Luxy Girls on Facebook. :lovestruck:
Captain America or Ironman? :ponder: :grin:

Captain America, Black Widow and Thor. :smile: You're confusing Ironman for Thor, shes holding the shaft of his mighty hammer.

The fourth one is Ironman. Is she cut off on your screen? Here she is again:
