Although the staff are great help & do have everything under control when in the room outside the stage I wouldn't recommend going early as it stinks of chips , beer and doughnuts !!
The accommodating event staff . Unusual for a music venue .
Went to see Nicki Minaj here. It was a pretty intimate arena, small compared to others. On the plus it means we were closer to the stage. Arrange a lift. Don't even attempt to get a taxi !
Pointless queuing up early to get to the front as have two separate queues and open up doors at separate times. So people who turned after you at the other queue has a high chance of getting to front
The big drinks are £2.50 but by the time the show starts you'll be sick of holding it, people tip them on the floor. Share a drink with a few straws!
Queue at bar often long. Buy the double pints.
Absolute shambles when it came to queueing. Queued all day to get to the front at blink and then they split the queue into two doors and let the other door open first. Security were assholes too
If you're taller than 5' 8" make sure you get an aisle seat! Bit cramped like!

I saw Ed Sheeran here and it was absolutely epic
You can have a bottle of water but they won't let you keep the lid.....
Good venue for sport or concerts but smell of doughnuts and beer not good (unless u like beer and doughnuts !)
If you go straight to the box office and pay cash you avoid the HEFTY booking fees incurred through paying by card.
The acoustics are terrible. Like listening to music inside of a gigantic biscuit tin.
It’s now called utilita arena.
-take your own food
Went to the UK Wedding Show and it stunk of chips and stale beer . Not the place for wedding shows!
Park over the road . It's called the Arena Car Park but it's not the official one
Whatever you do don't park in the official car park - look behind the discovery museum !
Dynamo show! ????
fab arena a must to visit
Food and drink isn't cheap here
Seen Thirty Seconds To Mars & You Me At Six Here
Like listening to music in a gigantic biscuit tin. Worst acoustics ever.
Excellent service and utilities :)
Get a few drinks in you b4 hand! The beer is well expensive !

Parking is a nightmare.
garlic bread
Don't get the nachos . Burnt cheese sauce .
Tired old venue. Expensive food/drink. Avoid.
Long-standing cult rock venue with a friendly atmosphere that puts on an extensive range of bands, sometimes with free entry. Tucked away behind the shops on Northumberland Street but worth finding! - Dave Milne
Worth a visit, the 4D motion ride and the planetarium are both great. - Marianne Petty
