Went to see One Ok Rock. Doors open at 7pm so if you dont want to stand in a super long line, come around 8:30pm once people start getting shuffled in. One Ok Rock themselves were amazing and have so much energy. After the openers, they came on around 10pm. Overall tips: 1. If you dont like being in the crowd or prefer a seat, VIP or balcony tickets are better. 2. If you don't like waiting in lines to get in, VIP is best or come later after 8:30pm. 3. I suggest you eat somewhere before you come to save money on drinks and food. 4. Standing room can get over crowded but if it is a great audience, it really livens up the mood when everyone is rocking out together. 5. Females, try to bring a clear bag meeting the requirements or bring a small square wallet (which is what I brought) or else you may have to pay to check your bag in. 6. On tuesday, parking the the green building (suggested from the website) was only $5 and you pay on the 3rd floor kiosk right before the skybridge to the main shopping area where you will have to walk about 2 blocks to house of blues Specific details: We got VIP tables so we just followed directions to the other side of the building and looked for an open door saying, "foundation room." They looked at my phone to see it said VIP and did the normal security check then let us go up the elevator. They start letting people in at 6pm but we got there at 7:30, no wait. The elevator takes you to the vip room where you can order drinks and food and just chill until you want to go to the VIP tables in the theater area. There's better food selection in this room than the main area but it is super pricey. We did leave to eat at the Mexican restaurant below and came back around 9pm, the foundation room door was closed (which no one warned us the door would close at a specific time when we asked if re-entry was allowed for VIP. They all said re-entry was allowed though). We entered through the normal entrance with our general standing room tickets that you must purchase before upgrading to VIP. Please remember, once your general standing room ticket is scanned at the normal entrance, no re-entry allowed. Great show, not sure how they are at the end because we left during the last song to beat the crowd.

I paid 100 dollars per seat for a show for the seats to be too close to each other and cramped. When booking it was never stated what VIP included. House of blues does not answer emails and it’s over priced.

We were surprised with a clear bag policy that was not clearly advertised on the website. When we arrived they charged $10 per bag to be checked. Absolutely ridiculous money grab.

There's Street parking all around also Do not park on the street next to HoB as your car will most likely be towed as soon as you go in, they use that for band parking

I have been so many times that I lost count and have never had 1 problem that was not resolved. For example: Once I left my tickets at home. No problem... they just printed me new ones. Sounds like your issue is with HPD not with HoB. I dont know the officers perspective so I wont comment on them. They could have just been doing their job and looking out for your girlfriend. If you think they dont see women get drugged and taken advantage of then you are ignorant of the real world.
