We didn't get the promised champagne at the NYE show, and we didn't see anyone else getting any. We've been to NYE at the club several times and seen how it worked. Was the club offering a sneak preview of the Mitt Romney inaugural ball, or does $55 not buy what it used to?
Do you really care about a cheap complimentary glass of bubbly?
I doubt anyone cares too much about a glass of cheap champagne, but when it was advertised and part of what was being used to justify the jacked up ticket price, the club should have done a better job of trying to get it to people.
From my spot on the balcony rail, I didn't notice anyone that seemed to have it, or any people around with trays handing it out. I know a bunch of people that were on the rail at the stage, and none of them got it. If you guys were trying to hand it out, it seems like doing so from the barricade at the stage would have been about the most obvious and easiest way to get it to people. Also, if people were supposed to just go the the bars to get it, why not announce that fact, particularly at a show when you had an announcer anyway.
It's hard to complain about anything when you guys do so much right, but if it really was your intention to get champagne to people, it could have been done much better. If you are not going to put more effort into that part of it, why not just don't advertise a champagne toast and don't jack up the price of the new years show as much. That would certainly be my preference.
