For anyone who was lucky enough NOT to attend the VIP Kick-off Party, here's what happened:
It all started off nicely enough. They brought all the Red Card holders who chose to attend to the Club Seats Lounge and we had our fill of free food (hot dogs, chicken fingers, potato salad, rice, potato chips, cookies, fresh fruit, etc.) and they had an open bar. When the game actually started, however, things went quickly downhill. Their DirecTV was on the fritz so the picture kept freezing as they continually lost the satellite signal. So, there were all these supposed VIPs there and nobody could watch the game. After halftime, they moved the viewing out to the Arena seating area and put the picture up on the jumbotron, but they neglected to pipe the audio over the stadium loudspeakers. Until the last ten minutes of the game, they played loud dance music instead.
Meanwhile, I thought I'd use halftime to browse the Bull Shop and maybe use my Red Card member 25% discount to pick up a few things. Unfortunately for me, they decided that the 25% discount wouldn't count until two weeks from now at the first home match of the season. What was the point of making everybody wait two weeks to get their discount? Everybody at the event was a Red Card holder!
Anyway, it was a very disappointing experience and if I had had any idea that this was going to happen, I would have just stayed home and watched on TV. At least I know my TV works properly at home.
Wow, I feel bad for you. Red Bulls employee's who troll these boards, don't try and stick up for this.
