5. night: Night was misspelled.
To see: The past tense verb went is used, so the participle seen should not be used.
night: Night was misspelled.
The Racksters: This is the specific name of a band, so it should be capitalized.
have: This should be in the present perfect verb tense (have been) as it refers to an
action that has taken place at an unspecified time.
since. It was a: These were two fragments, so a period is added after since, and a subject and verb were added to the second sentence (it was a).
who have tickets: This should be in the present tense because they still have the tickets.
Thursday’s: This is the possessive form. Thursdays means more than one Thursday (plural).
The Capital Theater, …!: This is the name of the theater, so it should be capitalized. A comma is also added to set off an introductory element. Punctuation is added to the end of the sentence.

Read the paragraph below and find examples of metaphor, simile, onomatopoeia, personification, oxymoron and/or alliteration.
James locked up the store and started his walk home. Tonight, as he stepped onto the evil path, he was unusually struck with fear. The harsh, wild winds whistling through the trees sent shivers down his spine. While tonight was really no different than any other, the frightening thoughts continued to be stuck in the prison of his mind. He imagined the living dead crawling out from the ground and ghosts and goblins growling on the winding path. The night, as black as coal, was in stark contrast against the brilliance of his cell phone,
a comforting torch that was lighting his way.
