Tower Theater....
so,
heading with my Wife to see a late show at the Tower Theater in Upper Darby tonight and wondering if anyone has been there recently and know if they wand or search you at the entrance?
I cannot find any notification on the Web page about their preference with firearms in the building.
any update would be great.
Thanks

Re: Tower Theater....
I can't speak for the Tower, but they did a "pat" type search at the TLA back in 2008.
...and they have a plan...

Re: Tower Theater....
Greetings,
Pretty bad experience there some years back. My buddy had to toss his really nice knife in the trash (we were parked too far away, which in itself is nasty), my sister had her Mace confiscated even after I told them they'd be liable if she got attacked on the way home. I was able to secret my knife away and got through. Didn't try to get in with a gun, but the "pat downs' were just short of a cavity search. Usually a pretty heavy police presence too. No more biz from me, heck screw that place.
Regards, Jim

Re: Tower Theater....
They get nice shows there, but that is not Upper Darby, that is straight up West Philadelphia. Be careful. Sorry, unsure as to search & security procedures.

Re: Tower Theater....
more to the story.
So it is a firearm I just picked up yesterday and have not practiced with. .....better than nothing....or is it ?
so...
I am not city ignorant, I know to keep the Real money and wallet and a dummy wallet.
maybe that is the avenue I take tonight.
Not knowing the Gun
being already in experienced in CC. (HOW ELSE DO YOU GET EXPERIENCE?)
and not knowing the territory (the Tower search proceedures)
it is / may not be an issue
but it only takes once.
i hate that area !
but I am going to see Jack Johnson !Last edited by Vantactical; September 26th, 2013 at 02:51 PM.

Re: Tower Theater....
The Concert was awesome.
I could have easily carried inside. (not physical checking at all)
I do believe the security is concert (event) Specific.
The Parking was easy in/out.
The place well Lite and plenty of police.
Another lesson learned.
for a comedy show, acoustic artist, Etc.
...I am guessing security measures will be much more relaxed then say potentially more aggressive audience. (you determine that crowd)
