Metro Radio Arena

I have never been a big fan of the arena. They have put on extra security checks which is no problem as the the security staff are pleasant while doing this very important job. The price of the drinks and food inside is a complete rip off.£7.50 for a hot dog and a coke and £6.00 for a packet of crisps and a coke , these are classed a deals the seating is to tight for anyone to sit comfortably without knocking the person next door , and there are always people that arrive late at their seats with drinks in their hands. The one good thing about the arena is the atmosphere when the show gets going the place can rock.

Looking a bit tired these days the Metro Radio Arena is still the biggest venue on Tyneside for stadium shows, acts and attractions. Additional security in place following recent events but staff friendly and fairly efficient. The interior is in need of a makeover as it's aircraft hangar ambience is somewhat monolithic and chilly. The venue has good sounds, visuals and seating, although fairly basic. Lines of sight to the stage / arena are all good and facilities for food, drink and toilets all reasonable. It's fairly overpriced but perhaps to be expected for this nature of venue.

Do not recommend floor seats. Paid extra but as they are all at the same level and I had a giant in front of me I could not see! The price of the drinks are also extortionate!

Be prepared to que for toilets. Que for food. Que for drinks. Que for Merch. Pay silly prices. No wonder so many good bands don't come to Newcastle anymore. Been to other big arenas which don't have these problems. Metro Radio Arena sort yourself out

Hallways get a lot of overcrowding as they are narrow. But the gig i attended last was a sell out. Also i missed the first 3 songs when i was queuing for drinks. But the arena itself was fantastically intense. The seating area's are well planned out with no complications locating my seat👍👍
