Visited 6th March to see Keith Urban. The delay in gaining access was awful. People made to queue for well over 45 mins in the cold and wind of an early March evening. Even Urban thanked the crowd for standing in such a lengthy queue. The staff were simply not operating enough doors meaning those entering the venue did so at a snails pace. For those guests with priority booking they entered without any delay. In fact they had an exclusive entrance that should have been employed for the public holding standing tickets.
Inside the place was packed. A worn and dated Victorian venue with a balcony for unreserved seating.
Loved the gig despite the place being so cold before the band started.
The guys operating the queing system wore Showsec high vis jackets. They need a serious rethink on procedures because gaining entry to this venue is unacceptable.
