SSE Hydro Reviews

Loved the hydro wat a place went to boyzone concert there just one complaint why do some of the door staff give off an impression of superiority too you and also can be quite rude an abrupt this is th first impression you get of the hydro and it should be a good one ! Not all the staff were like that though just a few I've payed a lot of money for my tickets and should get treated with respect not disdain

Great venue for any event you want to go to, especially music

Ok venue, tickets are overpriced along with the drinks. Toilets are also questionable.

Brilliant venue, easy parking just a short walk away! Awesome building & very friendly staff! Definitely would visit again & again!

Love the hydro for a concert. Alter bridge were brilliant

Gig was phoenomona and the great sound system adds to that. HOWEVER the stupidly placed screens meant that the act was obscured, even although they are designed to be transparent. I was there for a different gig a couple of weeks earlier and screens were either side of the stage. That made much more sense.

A very good venue for the annual 3 night c2c country music festival that this year transferred from the adjacent smaller Armadillo concert hall. While it isn't as acoustically accomplished, it accommodates with ease almost double the audience 'in the round' (the stage is actually on one side of the circle, if you can imagine that). It's facilities (refreshments, merchandise, etc) are well up to the task of meeting the needs of c.7000 concert-goers so I can certainly recommend the Hydro.

Its a nice arena..decent seating and ok prices for drinks

Its far too high inside not very safe for youngsters

A well organised and spacious concert venue in easy walking distance of the city centre

Fantastic night Mrs browns boys are amazing and we were so chuffed with everything can't wait to see them again

Excellent venue. Only downside is if you use the drop off, pick up point. The traffic coming out of the multi story carpark, moves quicker than the pick up point.

great sound and atmosphere really big layout great for watching concert and shows

A fabulous venue which opened approx 3 years ago. Seats around 13k people with not a bad view in the place. The facility's are very good round the concourse with food like fish and chips, pizza ect all available plus plenty of bars. Car parking is available within easy walking distance and a number of hotels on site. The staff I met where brilliant, helpful and friendly. Great venue

Nice facility, good food and drink options, comfortable station and views of the stage.

Great venue but really need to stop people entering the arena during the support act, especially in the seated areas.
Constant standing up of people ruins the performance.
Get there on time or wait till the interval
Works fine in the concert hall and will make for a better atmosphere

Excellent venue inside. Went to the irn bru carnival. Parking is extortionate. Is also a 5 min walk away. Needs to be cheaper to park.

Great acoustics and visual effects. Shame about the fosters beer.

We really enjoyed our selfs really nice place to visitor xx

Have been here a few times. Easy to find (we were driving), well sign posted, but there is also a train station which leads right to it. Last time we went to see Kevin Bridges Live. We were sat near the stage. Didn't have any food or drinks in there as we'd already eaten and queues were too long! Also I'm pregnant!

Fatboy Slim visuals were amazing, P.A system wasn't bad either amazing night

As a venue it is fantastic but the bars are a total let down, you can miss 30 minutes of a gig (case in point at Gerry Cinnamon right now) this is during the gig. They need the set up that festivals have to pour a lot of points ar a time instead of charging a fortune for people to miss the gig

Venue and concert very good. Queuing system leaves a lot to be desired. Easy to reach using public transport and if travelling a good selection of hotels nearby.

Typical large, soulless venue with a poor selection of overpriced food and drink - but then you're only there for the band anyway and it is capable of hosting a good show.

Booooooooom Slipknot! Great sound acoustics even when sitting in the stands.

Seating is terrible really dangerous and the drink selection is shockingly poor and very expensive

Great venue for events & gigs from the likes of little mix, steps & five finger death punch, also has food, drink and toilet facilities on site and also houses several private booths

Great event place cool to see the city getting another fantastic conference, show, arena driving the top acts of world to come to Glasgow. Located in Great location next to SECC down at riverside carparking next door and great access to Clydemotorway. Visit the website for all latest shows and events at Hydro.

Limited view, wrong announcements for when the interval was over. Not a great visit.

Expensive to park, expensive to drink, expensive to eat. Expensive.

Outstanding venue and because of its design there isnt a bad seat in the.place.

Well laid out floor plan, leg room for 5'6" people, helpful staff, loads of female toilets. Alcoholic drinks have lids and cost around a fiver :)

The place is great the staff work very hard to make sure everyone is catered for when the event is over the try there hardest to make sure everyone gets put in one piece and makes it home safe without any issues it is in a prine spot were it is just across the road to the trainstation

Great Venue, only been once so far, seen Paul Weller, great show, great location.

Excellent facility. Staff very friendly and approachable

Great venue. Was going to have a few drinks with the wife but didn't really want to re-mortgage my house so just took my own.

Still think this venue is so overrated. Prices for food and drink are ridiculous and the view in any areas of seating are pretty poor. Screen sizes for the size of the place is terrible and the sound quality is always tinny reverb with heavy bass vibrations. I'm afraid it all aesthetic over function. Toilets are also horrible.

Great acts but expensive snacks. Sound is echoey for a purpose built venue.

Great venue for bands. Only criticism would be that on some occasions the sound mix can have a bit too much bass. Possibly depends on where you are seated.

Elvis Presley in concert with Philharmonic orchestra for 30th wedding anniversary. Great night great venue

Over priced food, drinks and merchandise. Not enough 'shops' on the higher levels. Ripped off left right and centre.
Positives are there is plenty of leg room in the seating areas and sound quality is acceptable.

Lovely big venue. Expensive drink (as to be expected). A special mention goes to the Steward on our section, when we went to see The Steamie on 30.12.19. A woman wanted to sit in someone else's seat ( despite having a ticket elsewhere) and was causing a bit of a scene. The Steward dealt with this really well, diffusing the situation and standing his ground, all whilst remaining calm.

Fantastic venue. Seen War of the World's, Nickelback (backed with Seether) and Kevin Bridges and all fantastic shows, brilliant sound quality and most seating area you can see stage fine. Screens big and clear too. The higher up parts are a bit of a pain to get loo and drinks but second circle up is brilliant as bar right there.

Very impressive building from the outside.
Had my dog so couldn't comment on inside of building..

Beautiful building and the staff was very friendly but the lift was broken so we had to carry our friend who was on crutches up the stairs as they didn't have any other way to get her to her seat.

Concert seating great but food drinks etc extremely overpriced
