What happened on 14/12 Dylan Moran Show?

1.Before the show

原本以为只是简单看场脱口秀，但未料到此事一波三折，开演前四小时短信通知改地点，数千人人工检票两小时进场（一个个对名字），VIP Seat no drinks，500和350的坐在一起，甚至有人只能站在墙角做右侧壁花或出口门神，然后还成立了 Compensation Group索要赔偿以及真的赔偿了部分等等等，老实说，这些乱七八糟事件比演出精彩多了！

-----分割一下，表达对老板的爱----------

话说2007年，当我无意刷到Black Books之后，就深深迷上了英式幽默和Dylan Moran，墙裂推荐朋友，反复看了无数无数遍。

虽说当时知道Dylan Moran是编剧，但黑书后就没怎么关注，一直迟至去年才发现Dylan Moran原来也讲 Stand-Up Comedy，这才疯狂补课，弥补黄子华金盆𠺘口栋笃笑之失落。

2019年11月13日深夜，无意刷到豆瓣广播有豆友说Neal Brennan在上海演出，便点进网站扫了几眼，见到了Dylan Moran Live in Shanghai 的海报！

14/12/2019，并且500的General正在开售！

这是什么情况？！除了报名比赛抽签，感觉心跳从未如此迅猛过，掏出日历确定周末没有比赛也没有演出，于是一气呵成注册、买票、支付，好了，我的人生在栋笃笑方面没有遗憾了！！！

等兴高采烈发了广播，豆友又告诉我说，那是主办方无意中放出的票，有人已经蹲票好久了，我真是个幸运儿！随后我加入了一个温暖的微信群，大家互相鼓励演出前练好听力。。。（虽已做好一脸懵圈微笑的准备），有个别还准备了酒和小饼干（后来是放门口让员工帮忙递给老板）。

2.The show

Dylan Moran这天讲的段子不算多，大概有Every generation fucked up,Death,Drinking,DadMum and Children,I don't know what I want but I know what I don't want and so on，都是老梗吧（有人说老板提到听techno音乐），感觉这天状态不是太好。

当然我本来一半听不懂这个爱尔兰人到底在讲啥，反正旁人笑我也迷之微笑就是了。原以为他看到台下都是Chinese语速能稍微调慢一点，结果还是跟倒水泥一般吧啦吧啦，但在讲年轻人时结合了我们国情，比如QQ陌陌探探啥的，同时自黑一把七十年代爱尔兰，嗯，很体贴了。

对千里迢迢飞来睇show的我而言，虽然整个感觉有点乱七八糟，中场休息由10分钟延长到25分钟，下半场20分钟就仓猝结束（Dylan Moran下半场一上台就道歉我还以为他在表演～）但是能够看到Dylan Moran就跟做梦一样，因此上海之旅还是蛮开心的，第二天思南路暴走一顿就喜滋滋的回去了。

3.After the show

但我显然低估了上海姑娘争取消费者正当权益的习惯和英文水平，嗯，为什么强调是姑娘呢，因为那天晚上貌似三分之二观众都是女孩，哈哈果然正好验证了老板说的 "women know everything"这个梗。

海报写错日期、临时换场、演出缩水、座位安排、手工入场等问题，说白了都是主办方能力问题，关键是从头到尾没有任何说法，因此小伙伴们愤怒了，成立了Compensation Group拉了主办方进去一顿狂怼。

一路看着主办方从最初的辩解、闪烁其词，直至“I'll definitely get a plan together soon...theose that didn't get their proper seating or didn't get the drinks they were promised in VIP.”

但问题远远不仅于此，"Not just seating promblem and drinks,"群友有理有据的指出了问题，We all bought the tickets based on the following deal:

（1）售票时指明演出地点在凯吉斯场馆，意味着即使最后一排也基本能看清台上，但开演前4小时突然改场地是否存在超售/未报批/税费问题？

“Venue in cages,it will be a around or less then 300 audience crowd, so that means, even the back row seats won't be more than 30 meters far away from the artist,the stage won't be very high and VIP seats can have a closest and most comfortable view. ”

So basically, we bought the tickets at 350 500 700 RMB is based on that assumptions:with the venue itself will give a good experience witch could match the price.

但实际演出地点改在了1933老场坊（前身为屠宰场），而我酒店都定在了江宁路附近。。。侥幸的是我在4点多时看了一眼短信，否则我会按原计划回酒店check in后直接江宁路，于是临时更改计划，在艺仓美术馆匆忙吃了点东西背着行李马不停蹄赶去1933。

去到楼上，透过幕布往里窥见，就是一个非常幽暗的场子，台下放了数排白色折叠凳，感觉像来参加婚礼～这其实也没啥，但前面两排VIP就得仰头看了。

“But now, the 2 rows of was too close to the high stage and on the sides of VIP rows we could not have a fine angle to watch the show, which will never heppen in cages. and for the general seats, there are so many of audience can barely see his facial expression, which again, won't happen in cages.”

为何临时换场地主办方始终没有给出明确说法，Why it happened to this show not others?we were forced out from cages”，推测可能有以下原因：

a) Didn't do the paperwork properly(Someone made a phone call).

b) Legal reasons(????

（歪个楼，网上有份《乐队如何准备报批材料》指南）

（2）演出时间缩水问题。

票上注明时间是 20:30 to 23:00，结果演出9点十几分开始，21:45左右结束，中场休息20分钟，下半场20分钟就完了。

主办方答复：

We ended at the correct time.The performance part was over an hour.He did 45 minutes in the first half and then break.

The break lasted a little over 20 minutes because of technical difficulties but we fixed that.

In the second half he did over 20 minutes (23 to be exact),which means he did over an hour total.

We couldn't push the show any longer because the owner of the venue needed the show to be done by 10:45pm.I can understand how people wanted much more than an 68 minutes from him and I'm so sorry it felt short.

所以主办方的意思是演出时间68mins就够了！！？？

群友意见：“And maybe because the venue changing, the new venue has a new dead line about what time we should leave, which also won't happen in cages. And also because the total number of audience was actually 3-4 times biger than it suppose to be, it tooks you 1.5 hour to just check all audience in. It definitely took the time from us not as planed. And for a show, when the artist is already fixed, time and seats means the most to the price audience will to pay for.”

至于VIP附赠的饮料和小食什么的(table+2 simple mixed drinks/beer+snacks)，主办方说是因为新的场地不允许所以稍后会 refund。

谁要refund啊，我就担心老板因为这件事今后再也不来中国了。。。当然我也明白在这种形势下，主办方除了自身能力问题外，可能还得扛着压力“We had to put a show together in 4 hours,it was not any easy or smooth task.Hence all the issues."

总之，解决方案是主办方给VIP和坐在稍后位置的500都给退款了，12月24日平安夜，有VIP获赠退款100元了，500个别退款150元（大概认为是350元座位）。

不过位置如何才算后是个薛定谔之谜，所以有发了图没有退款的：“From what it l”ooks like,you stayed close to the end of the Genera”。未了主办方还祝大家圣诞快乐希望我们再来看演出～～（你们不是犹太人吗怎么过圣诞呢？）

嗯，不过如果老板再来我肯定要再去喔～～(Out of my passion for stand-up comedy and DM~)

后来有VIP收到邮件：
