Attended to see a Christmas special of a movie with a live orchestra. The armadillo is a singular venue with corridors that run around the outer walls, there are stairs escalators and lifts for access to the separate floors. The bar is central and has some limited but decent food options. The actual auditorium was very warm inside. Same parking and train links as the Hydro.
This is a fantastic looking venue, with great sound quality, but there's a few things that let it down.nnIf you have mobility issues, be aware that there isn't an accessible entrance like there is at the Hydro. Be prepared to queue with everyone else. You might be spotted by a steward and guided to the front, but it's not guaranteed. Once inside, there's no seating area prior to taking your seat if you're in the stalls, and you have to queue again whilst waiting for the auditorium doors to open. I can't stand for long periods and found this extremely uncomfortable.nnYou will battle against the queue if you want to use the toilets, too. Speaking of which, be prepared to cross your legs while waiting! One toilet on the ground floor, which is tiny, for the size of the venue.nnFood wise, forget it unless you want to pay over the odds for a bag of sweets. Drinks are expensive, as you would expect. The two vending machines were both out of order.nnParking is a complete rip-off. £12 flat fee for gigs at night.nnI do like the venue for shows, but these things definitely let it down, big time.
The queue controlling wasn't great, people scanning tickets could have been much better organised -for example have lanes. Instead, it was a bit of a free-for-all, allowing people to push in line which we formed.nIt's not easy to find where you're supposed to head towards, but once you find a staff member at the event hall it was fine. Apart from that it was ok.nStaff at the event hall were really helpful and lovely.
First time at the Armadillo and very impressed. Parking is nearby in the multi story, could be a bit more reasonably priced but getaway was slick in comparison to some of the nightmares I've had getting away from the SEC car park in previous years.nnSeating and acoustics were fab. Toilets not brilliant but not awful either. Lack of snacks, or so it seemed but the show was amazing which more than made up for any downsides.nnWould 100% drive the 3 hrs each way it took to get there, really great venue
For the last 25 years we’ve danced at the front of the Armadillo at the annual Jools Holland concert. This year despite being on row b of the stalls, the staff positioned themselves at the end of the rows and stopped everyone getting up and going up to the front for a boogie one staff member was even quite violent to a middle aged gentleman who tried to get a bit closer to Jools to take a photo A brilliant concert ruined by the staff at the venue. Even Jools himself was embarrassed. Come on SEC you can do better than this! What’s wrong with a few middle aged people having a bit of a dance next to the stage??
