SSE Hydro Reviews

Really enjoyed my experience at The Hydro. We went to see Deacon Blue and Nile Rodgers in the same week before Christmas. Very different shows and the service, access and seats were great both times.

Brilliant place brilliant service people always willing to help or answer any queries

Great venue! Attended many gigs here! Always great sound and atmosphere!

Great venue for large concerts although leaving at end is a bit crowded. Unrestricted views of stage. Good sound

Was brillant- but not very disabled/eldery accessable and friendly when it comes to a change of programme of event/ performance nor to seating arrangements in the main centre/arena- there is limited railings for eldery/ people with medical conditions the are unable to stand very well in the blocks especially who are seated in upper levels which is very disappointing. The arena is can get very clammy, hot so buy lots of water/drinks to keep hydrated- and bring plenty money the food and marchendise stands are expensive. The vending machines are a little dodgey if buying flavoured water as they say the are sold out but they are clearly some in.Although Good overall concert/ event atmosphere- loud and lively very crammed for leg space in stalls so left up your seat if you want to dance or have a boogie.

Getting in was a nightmare with massive queues outside. Once inside too many people milling around getting drinks/food. Acoustics better than SECC halls but that's about it.

Great place to see shows been here a few times now and the staff are great

Been to a few events here now. Everything is well organised and efficient. Only negative is leaving the multi-story car park. Sometimes this can just take forever. I would definitely recommend pre-paying to speed up your exit.

Been trying for 2 weeks to call the accessibility number. At first there was no answer.... that was bad enough but now they eventually answer but just hang up.
Not good enough and really unprofessional, this was to be a christmas present for my disabled mother in law.

Roger Waters, Rod "the mod" Stewart, Paolo Nutini etc

Just seen elf the musical at the hydro brilliant but service for a drink diabolical never seen such slow service having worked at similar venue shocking service taxi at end of show took ages to get but at least area is marshalled

Good facilities, great seats. Can be crowded but what do you expect.

Brilliant show by Nile Rodgers and Chic, with good support acts too - Disco lives!

Really good entertainment venue. Plenty of room. The quest to get in are shocking though

Cool Arena, Simple Minds u. Kylie Minogue concerts were above cool. Fantastic the mood.

Great venue to see 21 Pilots, well worth travelling to from Birmingham..

I haven't been in but It looks nice to see from outside

Best venue in Glasgow maybe the world but at least glasgow

This building looks fantastic from the outside Once you are inside it is dull The acoustics make up for it staff are very professional

Night we went doors opened at 6:30, people had already started to line up when we arrived at 5:00. Very limited shelter for people waiting outside. Not allowed to take food or drink in, searching bags & people on entry. Once inside food More

Never been disappointed with any show I've seen here and great parking.

Incredible facility. Every time I go the atmosphere is great and the staff are very helpful. Only issue I have is the price of drinks but this is expected at such a large venue.

Food and drink ridiculously expensive and inadequate. Queues crazy. Event delayed due to inefficiency.

Great help full staff, easy to find your way and top security. Drinks and food a bit pricey but no more than you would expect.

Easy to get to your seats as well mapped and signs there too .

This is a decent venue, found that queues for refreshment weren't too bad been acts.

Excellent venue, plenty of staff available to help and assist.

Great venue, good facilities and clean, chairs comfortable for a long sit, air conditioning comfortable.

Large theatre conference centre poor parking facilities for disabled. To far to walk.

It's cavernous and gives you vertigo when you look right up to the top but better than secc for concerts, just choose seats wisely. Sse reward lounges are a bit of a joke, no beer on tap on Saturday night and very inexperienced bar staff but still gets you in off that gaping concourse.

Went to see Bryan Adams, great concert though the sound was just a wee bit distorted

Venue is ok but food is poor quality and overpriced, drinks as well

View was fantastic, easy access to seating, and no crush on way out

Really enjoyed my experience at The Hydro. We went to see Deacon Blue and Nile Rodgers in the same week before Christmas. Very different shows and the service, access and seats were great both times.

One of the best venues in the World. The Glasgow crowd, don't hold back

Great day out, if you are in a suite, remember to take your ticket with you if going out for a ciggy, the wristband won't allow you in or out of the hydro

Fabulous acoustics music events really expensive food and drink though

Well organised, very accessible. Bar is extortionate!

Excellent venue for concerts ..not any good for parking in the multi storey during concerts .. over an hour to get out of carpark..

Doors opened on time, Staff helpful in showing where seats are. Very large place.

if you are running late tell the audience can't stand people who don't give the right information out .nearly 30mins late .

The SSE Hydro is a multi-purpose indoor arena located within the Scottish Event Campus in Glasgow, Scotland. The arena was initially named The Hydro after its main sponsor, energy company Scottish & Southern Energy subsidiary Scottish Hydro.
In evening you can enjoy beautiful view of SSE HYDRO

Nice venue, took over an hour to get in because of the queing, causing me to miss the support act!

Went to see Kevin bridges, even though we were right up top we were still able to see everything and enjoyed the show .

Never been here before however was so very easy to find our way around and the staff were extremely helpful.

My partner and I love this venu, it just happens to be in out favourite city. Our 4 hour journey to come here is always filled with excitement, even though it's expensive when you want a drink, the atmosphere is always amazing. Can't wait to come back and see some more great live music.

The SSE Hydro is a remarkable Music Concert Venue. All the fun of a football stadium without the outdoor chills. Great sound stage and a wide variety of seats to suit all pockets and stage proximities.

Has the most uncomfortable seating I have ever experienced. Ticket prices are huge as is the food, drink and merchandise.
Premier venue it maybe. But comfort and value for money it is not

Amazing concert! Atmosphere was amazing, wasn t too crowded...would definitely go back to see more artists

Nice place but ticket security a real pain. Long queues outside to get in

Fantastic night out to see the Chili Pepper's. We stayed across at the hilton. Staff were really friendly. Lots of space and options for food. They tried really hard to spread out the queues whilst waiting for drinks/food. Acoustics are great in the building, we will be visiting again this year.

Show was great, but whoever designed this place should have thought to put in an elevator to the top, god help you if you are up in the 300 section

Only complaint is the top tiers are a bit steep and you need a telescope to see the stage, will buy better tickets next time.

We used our SSE rewards and it made life considerably easier. Skip the massive queues, own private area for food and drink. Really great.

The venue itself is really good, absolutely huge. The view from high up is clear but it's quite a bit away from the main stage. Would try to get first tied up or sitting on the main floor.

Great venue.
