Observations.
There were a number of issues at the Elbow concert, not least the queuing to get in. The lack direction leading to people queuing in the wrong queue for ages. I'm sure that is just teething, if they address it. Tbf, the exit and queueing for the tram was pretty good and organised, but there will be some concert goers who will be unhappy queueing in the rain, when it happens.
When on the tram, I couldn't see anyone on the 'walkway from town' apart from Police, Stewards and Paramedics.
Also I saw some cabling randomly dropped on top of a cupboard inside the hall.
The seats were comfortable, but there was a gap between the back of the seat in front and the edge of the concrete base, meaning you could easily break your ankle, even without being pissed!
The people handing out free beer looked like exec's in casual clothing, that had been dragged in to help on the night!
The concept of access to drink and food inside the concert area, doesn't hit the spot for me. Whilst singing a quieter song there was some noise coming from the open bar area at the back, which spoilt that a tad. Maybe just me.
Overall. it was a good experience and will be better when everything is fully functional.
Oh yeah, the staff were amazing.
