Reviews
"Saw Roxy Music here, very good staffing and signage to find our seats and the other facilities for food and merchandise. We parked at the Printworks which is a few minutes walk away, but is quicker to get out of than the Arena car park when there is a big concert. The seats are okay but the legroom is not massive if you are a bit taller, so maybe consider getting a seat at the front of the block if so. I booked my tickets on Ticketmaster which was very good, I could check out where the seats were and even what the view would be like. I went for seats in block 210 row B, so up towards the back, and I was glad the screens were very good, because I couldn't really see what was going on on the stage very clearly, but then, I don't have brilliant eyesight so it might be me. The sound was very good, properly loud and dynamic, but not so much that my ears were left ringing like some gigs I've been to in small clubs. Overall, a modern venue, professionally run, and well designed."
"Went to a seated concert here the other day and even seated the venue was fantastic. Understandably security is strict here so found it easier to not take a handbag. Drinks are a bit steep but to be expected for a large venue, but we were served really quickly so there's a pro to that. The venue itself is easy to get around and the sound quality at events has been executed wonderfully. It made for a really good show and 10/10 would attend again."
"Plenty of car parking available in the city centre only a 15 min walk away and not at extortionate prices. Easy access to venue and loads of very helpful stewards dotted everywhere around the Arena. Well signed inside and easy to find your area and seat. A bit steep walking down to your seat be careful and take your time."
"Staff were really helpful with suggestions of easier routes for me to get to with my crutch. Not keen on the steps down to the seats as they always feel too steep and no handrail but that's just me. Seats were comfy enough for the duration of the gig and great view of the stage."
"We parked at the attached multistory car park, it is a flat £10 fee for an event which starts an hour before doors open. The venue staff were great and prices were very high. The biggest problems were from access by people who needed assistance with the steep steps to the seats. My advice would be get there early if you have mobility issues as it takes so long to be guided down to your seats that people were still struggling into the second act (and they were very steep). This was also a seated gig, which frankly killed the atmosphere."
