JAXX / EMIPRE: How to make the worst place even worse.
1) PAY TO PLAY: if your band sucks but you want to play rockstar in your local suburban nightclub, AFTON LIVE will help you by... taking your money. Period. Respectable music venues tell these crooks to go fuck themselves, not Empire. Fuck EMPIRE for doing business with these con artists.

2) YOUR TICKET DOESNT GET YOU INTO THE CLUB: if you are under 21 (and lets face it, if you are going to a pay-to-play show in Springfield, you are under 21) and have already bought a ticket online, too bad because that is not enough. You have to pay AGAIN at the door. This is Empire double dipping into your pocket by taking money on both ends. See the fine print here:

The laziness and crookedness of these guys is appalling. The sooner they go out of business, the better.
Gallagher? Seriously?
