Whats with them stoping all liquor sales after 9:30? I thought there was gonna be a riot. They said it was at the bands request which i think was total bullshit. Anyone know why they stoped severving so early?

    Same thing in Chicago. I remember reading the same thing about other venues on this tour. What in the name of rock is going on?????

    Attention thirsty concert goers: Buy as many beers as you can right before 9:30!

    I've read many posts complaining about the beer sale cut off but I don't have a problem with it. We tailgate for about 5 hours so I've had my fill before the show and I make sure to get two beers just before the cut off. It is not a big deal to me.

    I was thinking wtf at first but I ams soooo much happier today. If you party enough before hand having the beer cut off gives you a second to stop and realize how fucked up you are. I got water instead and it ended up all for the better.

    It's very simple.. PJ doesn't want constant streams of people going back and forth to the beer stand during the show. You're there to see PJ.

    I think 9:30 is a reasonable time to stop beer sales.

    How many people do you want to be killed driving on the way home?
    Gives people time to sober up a bit before hitting the road again.

    I mean fuck this is a rock n roll concert. Beer is a staple. As long as i'm not driving i should be able to buy beer all show long. I had no idea about them stopping at 9:30. I went to get my first beer of the show around that time only to be totaly disapointed in whoever made that rule.

    Awesome concert but very disappointed in the beer sales issue. I'm not a person that likes to bitch much but come on now this is rock and roll.

    Seems like every day they try to take another freedom from me.

    NOTE TO ALL - BEER CUTOFFS RIGHT AFTER PJ TAKES THE STAGE HAVE BEEN IN PLACE SINCE BEFORE (and all thru) THE CANADA TOUR.

    apparently, it's been like this at every show.

    who cares? I don't.

    Must be the band. Everytime I've been there they usually cut off about 45 minutes before the end.

    it makes sense to me. i think it's because they don't want people driving drunk and killing each other. with the cut off around 9:30, you have time to sober up to drive.
    No need to be void, or save up on life...
    You got to spend it all

    i think it's a great idea. they don't want bad things to happen to people as a result of their shows so they take responsibility for what they can, and cut off the alcohol.

    Good for them. My respect just rises. Uhm... lol. right. like it could reasonably get any higher.

    Tell them you love them. Never let the mundane, the unimportant, or worse, the misunderstood, be the final words of parting.

    Tell them.

    As someone who gets ANNOYED AS FUCK by those who walk past me 90million times a night to get beers, and especially when they start to spill them on me as the night goes on, I LOVE THIS RULE! It keeps the crowd from getting out of control (in theory, anyhow), and as someone else says, gives people enough time to sober up before heading home. I don't care if it's rock and roll or jazz or fucking symphonic music. There's no NEED to be trashed to enjoy music. If there is, I suggest AA. Like, seriously.
    And the signs said 9:15, not 9:30. Not sure what the bartenders actually did, but that was what they were supposed to do.

    I like it. Gives people time to sober up before driving home and a few less fucktards walking back and forth in front of me making constant beer and piss trips instead of watching the show they paid $60 to see!

    If you want to drink and piss all night, stay home. Go to the concert to watch PJ rock out. Get shit faced tailgating, sober up some and get your pissing done during the opening band, and stay in your seat for 2.5 to 3 hours and watch the greatest live band in the world! Only way to go IMO.

    I don't think I could bring myself to walk out during PJ to go buy Beer anyway. Get there a few hours early and party your ass off in the parking lot...that's half the fun!
