Overview
This is an odd one to rate. I'm basing it on my experience at the Arcade Fire concert which was a rare chance to see them in a small place ( for a Glastonbury headliner ). I had doubts about the venue. It's a very long room with the platform at the back. However, Arcade Fire brought their own 'in the round' stage with them which brought the action closer to everyone including said rear platform. I was in early and with the stage having four sides I didn't anticipate any crushing silliness so parked my chair right at the barrier. A security person advised against it but i accepted responsibility. My experience was unusual due to AF having their own stage so be sure to keep an eye on the other reviews for comparison.

Staff
I'd been on to venue staff before the tickets went on sale and from then to the end of the gig they were very helpful. However I docked half a point for one guy. The guy who advised me not to be in the standing area did so to my friend. Tut tut. There's nothing wrong with my understanding or hearing, man. This was my only tiny negative experience the entire time.
