Hello, thanks for getting in touch. Sorry to read of your experience. It’s incredibly disappointing when a customer’s phone becomes a distraction, with it being disrespectful to both the artists and fellow audience members when this occurs. Not sure who you spoke to, but our staff will always be happy to have a word with the person in question. Best wishes, RBO Customer Services .
