Great line up and brilliant gigs but the place is a warren of stairs and corridors and has had some cheap fix remedial works done. We recently were given VIP tickets to a band I've supported for 26 years, only to be sent to the 3 floor. Now I have no problem with the complimentary tickets being the furthest away, disappointing sure but I can accept that paying guests deserve closer seats - but these were seats that used to be at such an angle that fold down seats left little leg room . The solution? They have removed the seats and replaced them with bench style seating only approximately 250mm in depth. They are covered in ribbed carpet. It's similar to old school baseball bleacher seating, only with filthy carpet as a covering. People didn't stay for the whole gig where we were and it definitely wasn't the artist as they were on top form. I would not recommend 3rd floor tickets regardless of saving.
