Been out last night at Bryan Adams concert. He's a legend and it was an amazing show!! 👏 Visited for the first time to watch Paul Smith. Getting into the venue was quite quick and easy, parked in the underground parking. Was quite shocked at the prices for food, never even bothered looking at the drink prices! £2.99 for 100g Pick 'n' Mix, £17 for Dirty Chips!! Made my Aberdonian wallet self seal! Complex facilities were good however at half time break the corridor was jammed and you couldn't get anywhere. Getting back to the car was easy enough, but that's when the fun started. Took 45 minutes to exit the parking and get out onto the airport road. When in the parking cars from other queues were cutting across the empty spaces and pushing in meaning further back you were going nowhere. Exiting out onto Airport road and A96 towards AWPR was horrendous. Nice enough place but parking and vehicle egress post-show is a disaster. Drinks and snacks are beyond extortionate - £8.95 a pint seems excessive. Sadly however this doesn’t stop the majority getting drunk and then ruining shows with endless chatter; getting up to the toilet; kicking seats etc. I won’t return. Good acoustics but severely lacking in customer service with Security that don't speak English and sky high bar prices where £17.90 for 2 pints are advertised as a promotional price. Absolutely ripping off customers with their F&B. Bought my daughter a cup of chips, £4.90 almost the same price I paid for a 25kg sack. No reason to charge these prices except to profiteer from customers. Other venues around Scotland are on average 30% cheaper. A worthwhile trip up to see Olly Murs. Had a fantastic time seeing the Pixies here and a great meal beforehand. Parking was easy, below the venue and was 14.50 - pricey but not outrageous. I read a lot of really bad reviews about the venue before we went and was worried because I’d never been before, but it was great. First time here, and it was amazing, we went to see war of the world's with Jeff Wayne, it didn't disappoint Costs inside the centre are crazy high, not good considering the high cost of event tickets at the moment. Parking costs are even higher (the bus is not convenient for all event goers, eg. those who live out of town). I find it's actually more pleasant to make a day of it in Glasgow or elsewhere to see the same event, and not much more expensive. Sad when you should be proud of your own city's venues.
