Editing Tyrannian Concert Hall

[[Image:Concert Hall.gif|right]]

The '''Tyrannian Concert Hall''', a [[Wikipedia:Stonehenge|Stonehenge]]-like construction, is located on the Plateau in [[Tyrannia]], where it hosts the performances of [[Neopia]]'s bands. It held the first concert on March 29, 2001 featuring the Sticks N' Stones. The Concert Hall has been estimated to have a capacity of over ten thousand spectators. To enter the Concert Hall, one requires a ticket in order to pass the doorman Grafney from [[Mynci]] and Sons Event Security, Inc..

The Tyrannian Concert Hall currently offers performances of fifteen different bands. Each band has one or more standard day(s) to perform on. When a new band is added, a performance day is taken from another band and given to the new band. The bands' animations and concert preloader were updated on November 2, 2005.

==Ticket Booth==
The Ticket Booth, located next to the Concert Hall, is responsible for selling the tickets to the daily band, which is booked by the Booth's owner, [[Skalpo]]. Tickets always cost 1250 [[neopoints]]. While the tickets, being actual [[items]], can be traded by users, the Ticket Booth monopolises these tickets entering the market, with the exception of the ''Jazzmosis Xmas Special Ticket'', which was give out by the [[Advent Calendar]] in 2002. 

This monopolization results in sometimes extortionate prices, but tickets to the bands still become sold out quite early in the day. In addition to entitling the holder to see the band's performance that day, tickets are usable whenever the band is showing at the Hall. Users also get a random free souvenir of the band when they see them perform. Seeing certain bands perform also unlocks certain [[avatars]].

==Trivia==
*M*YNCI and 2 Gallon Hatz used to have their own [[Neopedia]] articles, but they were replaced with a [[Sophie]] article and an [[Armin]] article respectively. Sticks N' Stones is currently the only band with an own article.
*September 14, 2006's theme was ''Tyrannian Rock-Fest''.
*Behind the Grarrl doorman in the preloader, pictures of three different performances can be seen. One of the Neopian Philharmonic, one of Gruundo and one of Jazzmosis. Oddly, the Jazzmosis Grarrl visible on the picture seems to wearing a Santa hat, even though he was one of the two band members not present in the Xmas special.
*The [[Neopedia]] article for the Concert Hall was released on April 4, 2001.
*The Concert Hall preloader was updated on November 2, 2005.
