Hi! Being raised and living in New Jersey, this venue (originally, the Garden State Arts Center) has always had a reputation for having security and VIP issues as described since the 70's. Too bad... it's a lovely wooded area and close to home. Why can't Stevie call the shots and they respect her wishes? The show is about and for the fans not the VIP access or security.
I saw Stevie there in August 2001. I got picked on for dancing in the aisle! I had an end seat and drifted into the aisle to dance a bit. This is the only time I've seen her in concert. If my memory is correct the base price of that 1st section seat was $87.00. I couldn't validate $125 for a ticket here. If I had remembered the show was last night, I might have gone anyway and gotten a lawn seat... oh well... I was tired and in bed by 10 p.m. anyways... maybe next year!
Cheers to Stevie's energy and light!
