The Hydro is always an amazing place to see any kind of show... staff always so helpful & courteous. I was part of a 17 strong hen-do for a showing of Still Game on Sat 5th Oct.. our original seats had restricted views on some of them... we were all relocated & allocated new seats together... centre stage infront of VIP pods... couldn't have had any better, thank you!! 1 down side is that bar area always a little slow & just a tad expensive... but doesn't stop me from frequenting it!

Went to see Deacon Blue with the VIP access. Brilliant as usual with the private bar and toilets closer by. Really friendly staff and well organised letting you know when the show is starting and no stampede when leaving. Great sound and atmosphere. Well worth the extra expense for the good seats and bar access etc. The only way to enjoy a show.

We got there early, which is not normal for our group, but it paid off because we got wrist bands for the private bar so could avoid the queues. It was also open for an hour after the show so the fun could go on a bit longer and again we could avoid the queues. Very friendly staff!

The only good thing about the Hydro is the number of toilets. Unless you are lucky enough to get floor seats, and even then you'll need to be near the front and not be sitting behind someone taller than you, then you'll be watching the performance on the large screens as the arena is far far too big. Also the choices of drinks is abysmal.

Been trying all day to book accessible seating for a concert. The tel line is the ONLY way to book tickets if you are disabled! Every time I get past the automated message, someone answers and immediately cuts me off! Clearly SSE Hydro do not value disabled customers, or even want to serve them! Disgusted!!

Glasgow's premier live venue is a wonderful place to visit. I have attended many events here from music to MMA to comedy and have always enjoyed the atmosphere. The drink prices are reasonable for this type of venue and the toilets are clean enough. The staff are helpful and the sound system is great. My only criticism is that the drinks are served up in plastic glasses. I know it's a safety thing, but I still don't like it. All the same, I give it 5 stars.

Big corporate shed .Waited in a queue for over an hour to get in after being there early enough and missed the start of the concert.Bar ran out of drink unbeknown to me and others who had been in the queue for 15 minutes.Security barged his way across the bar shutting it off and frightened a female customer and then acted hostile to said female verbally.Chemical Brothers were professional g4s were far from it. Shame it's the place most artists go to as it has no soul .
