I am a regular patron at the Hydro. I have found it in general to be an excellent venue. As a wheelchair user I have found it suitable for those with mobility problems.
There are two points I would point out. Firstly to me the Bass frequencies of live music is a bit muddy although not bad enough to ruin a concert. The other thing is prices within the Hydro. I know prices can be high in such venues but I think their pushing it a bit. I understand that for security and safety reasons you can't take drinks into the Hydro, but because of that you are basically forced into paying these silly prices. I am speaking of soft drinks but I assume all drinks are price are high. As a post script, I recently attended another concert at which I was one level up in a wheelchair section which I believe is not always used. I was in an area that was actually behind the level of the Drummer. I could actually see behind the stage. I would Council that when purchasing tickets that you take this into account. Both the view and sound was dreadful. I had previously awarded four stars however I now feel I must downgrade it to three.
