    sue the bastards. I don’t know was CSC is contracted for all Bulldog and SMC events. They shouldn’t be in business. They hire ex-cons and give pepper spray to people who have no business working security.

    Did anyone see? I attended the show with my wife and we sate on the Floor Sec 3 Row 6 and we’re hassled by security all night. Not sure what the deal was, but we were escorted all the way out twice. We were hassled as if we didn’t have seats. When showing are tickets, we then were escorted back.

    The 2nd time, our seats were given away. And no one in security would let us of have our assigned sets we saw 6 of 26 songs. My wife was struck in the face by security and then they escorted us out for the 3rd and last time

    If anyone saw any of this, please let us know.

    Thanks!

    Hey if the Collegian wants to put totally bogus info on its front page, go ahead and delete my comment. Credibility might be at stake by leaving my comment that the info is wrong, but isn’t it more important for a newspaper to be accurate?

    They played the Save Mart Center in 2004, the tour is already scheduled to go into April 2008 and it’s David Lee Roth who hasn’t played with the band in 20 years. Sixteen-year-old Wolfgang wasn’t even born yet. Also, they haven’t BEEN on a year-long tour. The tour started in September.

    A quick Google search would have brought this information. Van Halen.com probably had most of that info.

    Man Ryan, no need to be so harsh. Not everyone is as adept at the lore of VH as you.

    You need to put up your thoughts on the show so I can read them.
