Not sure if you know this, but you can thank THE Jack White of The White Stripes for that poster existing. The Masons owed a fuckload of taxes and almost lost the temple until Jack swooped in and said he would bail them out as long as they would open their doors to hosting concerts. Now it is one of the hottest venues in Detroit which is already surging.
Compared to an arena show like Tool? I was just there a couple weeks ago for Mac Demarco and slipped in and out with no issue. It's hot while still being far enough away from downtown to not be an issue.
I have no idea why I was so set in defending the Masonic last night. Truth is they orchestrated one of the biggest and most hilarious fuck ups I've experienced at a venue and it directly benefited my friend and I. Cage The Elephant and Portugal. The Man we show up about 20 minutes before doors and there's a line wrapped around the building. We figure fuck it, we'll just walk in when doors open. About 10 minutes before doors we see people start frantically running. Staff came out and said everybody lined up at the wrong door and they need to move down. Then they said the person that said that was supposed to say both doors were open, not that they went to the wrong door. We jumped into the chaos and ended up being some of the first in and grabbing a barrier spot

But I wouldn’t want to see a ton of shows there. It takes forever getting inside and out .
Give a venue neg comments when you stand outside an entire work shift in near freezing temps for a literal piece of paper. #paper
Shipping cost hurts a bit.
