DO NOT GO TO THIS VENUE. MANAGEMENT DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR SAFETY. On Pride Sunday (6/28/26), moments before the Nick Gaga show at Balcon, a woman physically choked my best friend.. in public, in front of a crowd..because she wanted his seat. Bystanders around us were screaming and begging her to let him go. When security finally arrived, they did not remove the woman who had just assaulted someone. They removed my friend, the victim. When we refused to leave, security physically grabbed him, bruised him, and threw him out of the venue. No one on Balcon's staff checked on him. No one asked if he was okay. No one acknowledged what had just happened to him. This was Pride. This was the anniversary of Stonewall. And this venue chose to protect the aggressor and discard the victim. If something happens to you or someone you love inside Balcon, do not expect the staff to be on your side. We learned that the hard way.
