SSE Hydro Reviews

Worth to visit if you're in Glasgow for 3 days at least. I just watched it from the outside, since I stayed in Glasgow for just one-and-a-half day and didn't have time for a well-deserved inside visit

Very big venue. Expensive to park. Some gigs are way over priced. Good toilet access. Ramp access for disabled is good. The concessions are expensive and I found the fish soggy. Seats up the top are too far away. Overall not my favourite place for a gig, however not much else indoors in Central Scotland for gigs of bands with a high demand. Was great for the gymnastics that was there a few times over last few years.

Security is a bit non existent during some events I have attended but aside from that it is a great venue.

Great venue for all gigs. Would highly recommend it

Wonderful, acoustic concert hall that has nothing to do with nostrank buildings

Visited this awesomely huge venue to see Still Game Live (2/2)
The arena is great if you are fit and able however, you might find access to the higher sections rather poorly served, with one, poorly signed, escalator being the only alternative to stair, stairs and yet more stairs.
Once in your seat however, the size adds to rather than detracts from the overall experience.
Next time, if I cant afford 'the stalls' I'm not going.

Excellent venue although getting out of the car park, particularly paying, was grim made even worse by one of the few paying machines being out of order.

This venue is great for large concerts. Always get standing and I've never had a bad experience. Even at the back you get a great view.

Great place for seeing anything ranging from bands to wrestling in my personal case.

Great music venue! Great sound even right next to the stage, and at the back

Great venue no matter where you sit. Closer is always better but all seat uninhindered. Pricey drinks but if AMAZING bacon roles.

Having to wait in the rain outside venue for security checks surely more staff is required.

Great venue just be prepared for a workout getting to your seat if up the top!!

What an amazing building. Great experience visiting for the gymnastics that were being held there. All the staff were super helpful and the facilities spot on!

Busy venue, but using the restaurant calms the experience

Excellent venue. Food and beveridge pricey but to be expected. It was great meeting Hugh jackman!!! I wish lol

Great venue for a concert. Do expect a longer walk though to toilets if the event is busy.

Went to see Michael buble which was amazing. Only let down was the speakers hanging from ceiling obscured the big screen at the back. We were on level 2, section L. But all in all the show was one to not miss and would not hesitate to go see him again.

Excellent venue for all kinds of events: music and sporting!

Went to see Cher she was amazing obviously but the folk that helped us to our seats were reall polite and helpful

Suuuuuuuuper!!!! We had a great time.. that day was the rock tour for the 80s.. everything is fascinating.. I enjoyed the party.. talking to ppl and dancing there! This building is massively big and magnificent as well.. can't wait to attend another concert!!!

Nice looking building on the outside. On the inside it reminds me of a jail (all concrete, not much to it). It doesn't really have much character, it's simple and suits it's purpose. Drinks are priced fairly.

Superb venue, great concerts, shame a lot of audience members just want to get drunk out of their minds on two of the worst
lagers in the world: Fosters and Strongbow.

Loved strictly only downfall was all the stairs to climb not good for my arthritis

Great music/show venue although the view from some of the upper levels can be restricted by lighting rigs and the angle to the stage. Food, drink and merchandise prices are horrendously expensive.

UTTER SHAMBLES

Wrong door on ticket for entry.
No rep.
No merchandise pack .

When I complained all l received was an email telling me to actually contact the band for our missing merchandise" really" unbelievable .
My son said actual Venu is great but really let down by staff that treat you with utter contempt.
Do not recommend

It is a large modern multipurpose space with a capacity for 10,000 people. Good parking

Went to see Mrs Brown d musical. Great show everyone, couldn't stop laughing.

Bloody expensive n not enough cubicles for the toilet.

Great performance as usual. The Krankies carried the show. The Prince was ineffective - bring back John Barrowman!

Lifts and escalators never working worse place for any concert

Long rpute for dropping off point. Transport to take you to West entrance made it easier for people with walking difficulties.

Staff were really helpful and welcoming especially as I had my bother in his wheelchair for the event.

Love the hydro been there a few times to see different things staff are always helpful

As i am a wheelchair bound concert goer, i have to say it's the most wheelchair friendly concert venue in Glasgow.

Very good venue and the staff are extremely helpful. Immediate parking at the venue is expensive and can take quite a while to leave from- problems are caused by the traffic lights on the road to Finnieston. Fast food outlets in the venue are okay but expensive for what you get in return.

Seems a little better organised these days than it did at the beginning, if your planning on drinking and don't like heights I recommend you buy tickets for the floor as stairs are steep and hand rails aren't brilliant

Only downside was the food was not as warm as it could be

With a more than reasonable resemblance to the city of Dublin, Glasgow demonstrates a great taste for postmodern art, bringing together commercial and sports buildings in the same park and endowing the scene with an incomparable beauty, and all this is housed in the mouth of the Clyde River, which makes that mixture of architectural works can be seen from afar with a peace unbefitting its magnitude.

Was Disappointed at the still game gig and I am a fan, the Jimmy Savile bit was distasteful and would NOT go back to that gig, prices are inflated and layout horrendous, people are giving them the business and parking should be free, just greed.

Enjoyed Mrs Brown's Boys The Musical, but the Bar prices were a bit expensive.

Great venue, easy to get to. Security staff were nice. A wee bit cold inside, wear something cosy.

Went to see The Weeknd. Amazing venue. We were seated in the top row of seats central to the stage. Sound was great. Light show was great. The People in front of us were stood up which meant we couldn't see whilst sitting down. Which we didn't mind because we wanted to stand. But this put us in a difficult position with people directly behind us as they sat through the whole concert. Could do with a bigger tv to show the live action to the people sat in seats. Otherwise a very good night.

It's the performers and the people who make the place :)

Visited it for the first time to see Russell Howard, what an amazing arena definitely will be back in the future.

As usual great show handled by experienced and helpful staff superb night

Great venue but need to clean up the way to it. Very dirty smelly underground walk to it.

Great venue with superb sound and facilities, staff are also very friendly and helpful.

Comfy seating and the best sound system I've ever heard

Saw fast and the furious live show and was really good. Bit pricey for snacks and drinks but always is at these venues

Went to premier league darts. Not the best view, but seats were cheap. Just wish the drinks queues weren t so long. Massive venue should have more concessions.

We went to watch the boxing and the venue were very organised. Lots of food and drink options and you didn't have to wait to long. Security is very tight so makesure ypu leave plenty of time because it took quite a while to get in.

I thought the O2 Academy was terrible for sound but this takes top spot there. Poor design leads itself to terrible acoustics and the sound engineers just don't have a clue what they're doing with the space or the equipment which can't seem to handle loud volumes of any sort without becoming muddy and washed out. I would only recommend this place for acoustic sets.
