Ventura Theatre, Ventura

DO NOT SUPPORT THIS VENUE!! Venue is beautiful but the security and staff are rude & disrespectful. I played their the other night and got yelled at and pushed on stage (even having proper credentials)! My friend who has thrown shows there gets constantly mis treated and they don’t seem to listen. You complain on facebook, they delete your complaint and block you. They tried unplugging a $200,000 Funktion One system with no warning in the middle of the DJ’s last song without consulting the soundguy. That could have severly damaged his system. They also broke a lighting guy's moving head a few onths ago at a show by breaking down his gear without permission and then didnt pay for it, and said theyre not liable! DO NOT SUPPORT THIS PLACE UNLESS THEY RE-STAFF!!!

Disappointing – I have been to many concerts there and have always enjoyed the shows. I always noticed, though, the rudeness of the big lady who always seems to be in a bad mood. It was not any different, last week, when I went to return some tickets for a concert that was cancelled. Terrible customer service training. She started coursing, because, I assume, she expects me to keep the cancelled ticket and give her my money. Lady, I did not cancel the show and it was your obligation to refund. I’m sorry, but whatever she’s taking doesn’t make her happy anymore.
