SSE Hydro Reviews

Great venue for concerts, with off-centre stage that allows almost 360 degree viewing of act. Decent food & drink, well catered in bars and at counters, but a little pricey.

Really need to get some decent mgt. In the kiosk. Queuing for 25 minutes for 2 bottles of water at 220% of normal retail price and them insisting on taking the plastic tops off is just ridiculous. Get one person pulling the pints constantly whilst the others serve. It's not that hard to work out really and will speed everything up

Been to a few gigs here now and the venue can't be faulted on sound and seating. Only downside to the venue is the very poor wine sold at the bar at overly inflated prices. If you like wine then don't buy from here, either drink something else or sneak in some if your own wine in a hip flask or something.

Really well organised event venue. Reasonably priced food and drink for a concert arena.

Good Concert venue, beer choice at the bars very poor. Some kind of tie in with Fosters.

Good venue but the staff are crabbit and dont want to help you.

Great venue with tasty food and drink at a reasonable price and a large parking structure very close nearby additionaly there is a very large amount of staff to help guide towards tour seat with the only drawbacks being high cost of parking More

Nice venue.
Very spacious!

The sound here is first class better to sit around the middle tiers level 2 or 3 for a good view

Been twice (all with my wife). Once we could only get tickets high up in the auditorium. My wife suffers from severe vertigo and we had to leave. There are also no lifts to some of the higher levels.

Second time we got seats low down. While we enjoyed the performance, the venue is just another concrete building designed to get as many people in as possible.

My biggest gripe is why venue staff allow people to get drunk (very) when attending events - spoiling the experience for others? Despite staff asking the shouting drunks several times to sit down, they allowed them to stay?

Won t be back again, unless it s someone I really want to see AND I can get seats that are close to artists.

Great venue with good view wherever you are sitting.

Excellent night at Bill Bailey. Staff helped us in the car park, at the door and to find our seats. We expected the car park to be a nightmare to get out of but the staff directed everyone out making it surprisingly painless and fast!

Security team were spot on. Twenty one pilot were brilliant

I like this venue a lot, although given how expensive it is, you would expect the seating to be comfortable, the staff in attendance were excellent and very helpful. I will be back but next time I'm bringing a cushion.

Amazing venue good views and wonderful sight when lit up

Apart from the time parking and getting out of the car park. The place is really easy to find and get to with a nice warm atmosphere inside

Although it feels a bit tinny and soulless, the acoustics works.

I liked this place easy to get to and leave because its not too big and if you have the opportunity get invited to a box......

Horrible place seemingly designed to suck all the fun out of the live music experience.

This is an excellent venue, it is pretty huge and when you are right at the back, you are a long way from the band but you still get the atmosphere. The sound is amazing, the staff are helpful and it doesn't matter where you are, from the standing area to any of the seats, you are right there and it is easy to enjoy yourself. Getting there is easy but parking is becoming increasingly expensive.

Fantastic venue with great acoustics. Friendliest staff ever. Very expensive for food and drinks, however.

Size,acoustics great. Improved signposting outside would be good.

Jim Jeffries at the Hydro, such a good show well managed by staff

Great venue. Seats are large and the views are great wherever.

Not very warm at first going in and drinks a little to much but over all good

Ran smoothly as always. Great staff keep things moving.b

Love it! Massive variety for concerts/ shows etc. Comfortable easy to find. Reasonable parking.

Worst bar service ever.. No system to the ques at least 30 min wait in the 45 mins before main act.. Why not insist on card payment only or properly staff bars?

Great place for concerts but not alot of access to higher levels

Security was poor reported woman in front of us and she kept swearing at us and throwing her hair in out faces and then they started fighting they drunk and they spoilt out night

Large concert venue with good facilities for large crowds and concerts, several events including shows and music, summertime tourist centric events and dance shows, walking distance from Glasgow City centre and train stations.

Be advised the multi floor carpark joined to th hydro fills up very quickly leaving a long walk to the next nearest ones.

Taxis cannot be reliably booked and met outside after large concerts due to over a thousand people exiting in a 20 minute period or less at the end of most events, it is best to walk to the city centre and find a taxi there.

Booked taxis and online taxi services will often cancel your booking on the drivers side once they realise it is for pick up after a concert due to the huge crowds and the difficulties caused by people trying to take other people's booked taxis and minibuses and the amount of people walking on the nearby roads.

There are people who have a friend or relative drive in and pick them up however there is risk with people ambling around on the roads with a high likelyhood of having someone stumble out in front of your car.

Beer is dreadful. Nice enough venue but not amazing.

Always easy to get in and out, good bars and for around the venue also.

Staff very over friendly. Touched a few of my friends and made them uncomfortable. Beer cues too long. Go somewhere else

Great venue only downfall is the steepness of the steps on the upper levels, nothing to hold onto, nasty fall just waiting to happen.

Staff very friendly and helpful. Walking With Dinosaurs was absolutely amazing. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic venue, been here several times now. Love the location and the whole thing is a very smoothly run operation

Amazing arena with great views no matter where you seated.

Massive modern auditorium that looks like a spaceship from the outside

Great when on the floor however do not recommend going in the seating area if you do not like hihgts! It is pretty high / steap

Easy access. The only downside really is that it is like an indoor football stadium. It's a concrete monstrosity that the neon lighting tries to hide. Seen a couple of people slip and fall down the stairs with no-one around them. This may have been alcohol or just the fact the concrete straits need more grip on them.

poor stewarding .bar over priced and really poor service .think they need to review this and improve the service to customers.why is it so slow

Facilities not great. Overpriced venue. Poor viewing of stage - and I've been in lots of different areas and seats at this venue. Basically whatever we you go to see here you really just watch on big screens, you might as well be at home watching TV.

Amasing and the extra price of vip nation tickets is worth it for up front concerts. Slipknot 18/01/20

Great night would have been 5 stars if some of the toilets were not closed.

Chemical brothers live = best dance act on the planet

Excellent facilities and wonderful staff, Special mention to the box office staff who were exceptionally helpful sorting out a problem!

great place to go for a concert. who highly recommend the standing area. great fun
