点评:I attended the Howard Jones concert on Sunday, September 7, 2025 at the Charleston Music Hall. The concert itself was fine, but the security guards monitoring the front row did not display appropriate behavior at the event.
I was in Section A, Row 1, Seat 12, and there was a seat between me and the two women to my right. The three of us were standing and dancing, enjoying the show, but the two security guards on my right came over to the two women and made them sit. The women later got up again, but not too long after, the security guards came over to them and made them sit down again. I looked at one of the guards and he smiled and motioned for me to sit as well. As I spoke with the women, they stated that the guards told them to sit down stating, “You are literally the only ones standing,” which was not true, as there was one woman a few rows behind us who was standing and another woman in the center section who was standing. I told them that there was no need for the guards to make us sit, as there was no policy in place and we were standing by our seats and not the stage. I stated that I would get up for the next song if it was upbeat, which it was, and I did. The other women hesitated, but after a while, they felt more comfortable to stand again.
After the show, one of the women complained that the security guard with the glasses nearly forced her down when telling her to sit the first time they approached her. The security guards are there to ensure the safety and compliance of the patrons as well as the entertainers. There was no reason for the security guards to try to manipulate us into sitting. The behavior of these security guards displayed nothing more than misuse of power. I emailed Charleston Music Hall on September 10, 2025, and have the record of it. As of today, I have received no response.
翻译:我于 2025 年 9 月 7 日星期日参加了在查尔斯顿音乐厅举行的霍华德·琼斯音乐会。音乐会本身还不错,但监控前排的保安在活动中举止不当。
我坐在 A 区第 1 排第 12 号座位,我和我右边的两位女士之间有一个座位。我们三个人站着跳舞,欣赏着演出,但我右边的两名保安走到那两位女士面前,让她们坐下。后来,那两位女士又站了起来,但没过多久,保安又走到她们面前,让她们坐下。我看着其中一名保安,他笑着示意我也坐下。当我与那两位女士交谈时,她们说保安让她们坐下,并说“实际上只有你们站着”,但事实并非如此,因为我们后面几排还有一位女士站着,中间区域还有另一位女士也站着。我告诉她们,保安没必要让我们坐下,因为没有相关规定,而且我们是站在座位旁边,而不是舞台旁边。我说如果下一首歌是轻快的,我会站起来,结果确实是轻快的,我就站起来了。其他女士犹豫了一下,但过了一会儿,她们觉得更舒服了,又站了起来。
演出结束后,其中一位女士抱怨说,戴眼镜的保安第一次靠近她让她坐下时,几乎是强迫她坐下的。保安的职责是确保观众和表演者的安全和服从。保安没有理由试图操纵我们坐下。这些保安的行为只不过是滥用职权。我于2025年9月10日给查尔斯顿音乐厅发了一封电子邮件,并保留了相关记录。截至今天,我尚未收到任何回复。
