I find the elitist arugument to be silly as well. Look at the diversity of acts booked here. They appeal to a huge range of ages. There are little tykes and old farts like me, often times at the exact same show. Ok, going back to the F street days, I use to be one of those kids who lined up in the hallway two hours before shows so I could get pressed right up against the stage. Been there done that. Kids can still do that at the new digs with or without a VIP section. It's not like anyone's access is being altered. If the VIP section was a roped off section directly in front of the stage, that would suck. But to designate coat check or some out of the way section for older fans who, yes happen to have a bit more disposable income than the young 'uns, wouldn't hurt a thing. I like to see the show but I don't need to be down with the masses at this point in my life. Besides, I'm certain I personally have covered a few of Mr. Hurwitz's mortgage payments over the years. If I wanna be an ELITIST snob, so be it. I've paid my dues. Put me at the top of the mailing list if this ever becomes a possibility.
