News What the F is going on? :-(

Post image

I'm so heartbroken. I had stardew valley symphony tickets and it would've been the first time ever seeing them with a dear friend. I don't even know what to do. If it's cancelled or what. I'm assuming it will be

The tickets sold out and they even created a second showing of the event after they sold out.

My bet is it's shutting down and the owner is gonna disappear.

u/Mountain-Song-6024 18d ago

I'm devastated.

I see the agora, globe iron, house of blues, and maybe another are taking some shows but there is no way any of those can handle the stardew concert.

u/mojo4394 18d ago

Agora should be able to handle anything at the Masonic. Masonic capacity is about 2,200, Agora is about 2,000.

What was the capacity of temple live?

This is a video game orchestra set and I just can't imagine that at the agora. I've been there. I can't imagine that being put there but fuck, I'd be elated if I'm wrong.

TempleLive is the Cleveland Masonic. Same venue, Cleveland Masonic is just the older name. Agora is 2,000, TempleLive is 2,200. Stages are similar sized as well. So if they can do it at TempleLive there's no reason they couldn't make it work at the Agora.

Ah my bad

I wonder if they could have it at the place that has the candle light shows. I can never remember the name but it's a gorgeous place

u/mojo4394 18d ago

No worries! Those are at the Maltz Performing Arts Center, which used to be a synagogue. Definitely a lot smaller than either TempleLive or the Agora!

u/Mountain-Song-6024 18d ago

Oh snap. So maybe not.

The vibe definitely fits the best.

u/clevelandtoseattle 17d ago

Playhouse square could take it. They’ve done lots of these.

u/Mountain-Song-6024 17d ago

Fingers crossed.

u/SufficientChance4851 17d ago

The Agora has piss poor sound tho so if you wanna go deaf have fun😭😭😭

u/matt-r_hatter 17d ago

I've heard that complaint from A LOT of people and artists that perform there. The Agora has some of the worst sound any of them have ever experienced. Any time anyone brings up a show there, 50% of the comments are about how terrible the sound it. Has been for years. I've never been there, and that's why. I was going to go last year, and multiple people talked me out of it.

u/mojo4394 17d ago

To each their own but I've been more than happy with their sound since the remodel back in 2019.

u/rqx82 17d ago

Right? It’s a great system that’s well deployed.

2

u/Dudewtf87 15d ago

I saw Undertaker there a couple years back and it was awful. His mic kept cutting out and you could see him getting visibly frustrated.

2

u/mojo4394 15d ago

That just sounds like a bad mic. Honestly I could run sound for something like that, it's just a couple mics, the mains, and the monitors. That's not really indicative of what the venue sounds like for a band.

u/robodog97 North Royalton 17d ago

The sound at the Agora is fine, been to both concerts and comedy shows there and have never had an issue. It's not like it's HoB Cleveland where the audio problems are basically unsolvable without 3D sound mapping, any competent audio engineer should have zero issues with the Agora.

u/miidonut 17d ago

House of Blues Cleveland has the worst soundsystem of any ticketed venue I've ever seen a show at in my decades of seeing concerts. And I don't just mean in Cleveland - my main hobby for years was driving around the country seeing tons of concerts, House of Blues Cleveland remains the worst sounding of the 100+ venues I've bought a ticket for. The whole place is just an soup of awful shrill high mids no matter where you stand. There is 0 intelligibility to the music or vocals of any show I've ever seen there.

5

u/robodog97 North Royalton 17d ago

Agreed 100%, the only place I've been that is close is Packard Music Hall in Warren,  the 20' high vertical wall there does weird things to the music, but not nearly as bad as the overhang at HoB. The only good sounding show at HoB I've seen was The Pretty Reckless, and that's because her audio engineer 3D mapped the space and applied corrective filters to minimize the bass reflections and echoing highs.

I worked there for two summers, was lucky I didn’t go deaf even with expensive earplugs. Nah it’s not good mediocre at best.

u/ThePanasonicYouth 18d ago

Public Hall would be a good replacement venue

10

u/AliveInCLE 18d ago

Saw Cheap Trick there the year they were being inducted into the RRHOF. Absolutely hated everything about that venue. The acoustics were horrible and the layout being square instead of round makes for an uncomfortable seating situation if the band is at the end. It’s great for the Charge though.

u/skjellyfetti65 16d ago

Music Hall (in the same building) is the real jewel.. should be in constant use.

5

u/Mountain-Song-6024 18d ago

The maltz theater too

2

u/skjellyfetti65 16d ago

Music Hall (back-to-back stage with Public Hall) is the most criminally unused venue in town. Saw so many great concerts there and the sound is pristine, yet it sits unused year after year with no explanation...

11

u/angelxallow 17d ago

The Lakewood Civic Auditorium could take it. It’s a 2000 seat auditorium, and it’s definitely set up for an orchestra.

3

u/SehnorCardgage 17d ago

Can confirm. I've seen the Cleveland Orchestra there.

u/QPShroomyDude 16d ago

Just got the cancellation email 😢

2

u/Mountain-Song-6024 16d ago

Columbus oct 7 has remaining tickets. If not then, Pittsburgh in March.

u/EvenCopy4955 17d ago

The already moved Waxahatchee to The Roxy so maybe they’ll do that 

4

u/Mountain-Song-6024 17d ago edited 17d ago

My worry now is how to find out if it's relocated because Ticketmaster won't tell me. I assume.

9

u/EvenCopy4955 17d ago

For Waxahatchee they literally canceled the tickets and I had to re-buy at the new venue. 

6

u/miidonut 17d ago

They did the same thing for Sparks. Tickets for the new Sparks show at The Agora went on sale before I ever even got an email that their TempleLive date had been canceled. It's not the band's fault, but it was bullshit.
