Opera Atlanta Security Accused of Extortion by Numerous Patrons

Security staff at Opera Atlanta allegedly charged attendees higher than the listed price.

Opera Atlanta has come under fire after door staff allegedly extorted multiple patrons. The reported incidents took place last night, November 30th, at an event headlined by Boogie T at the popular Atlanta, Georgia nightclub.

A few common threads tie together most of the accounts shared by unhappy attendees on social media. Almost all reported waiting upwards of two hours in line, and some alleged that security guards charged them additional costs based on their attire despite no dress code having been specified on the website. Attendees also claimed that the guards accepted bribes from ticket holders in return for letting them advance in line.

Opera recently parted ways with Liquified, a promoter who partnered with a club called District Atlanta that launched this summer. The former nightclub now organizes all of their events in house.

EDM.com has reached out to Opera Atlanta for comment but they have yet to respond at the time of writing.
