Eventim Apollo

We had a great experience at this venue watching Alan Carr. The seats we had were reasonably priced and had a great view; circle row C. I would say however that £18 for two cans and a packet of crisps is way too much.

Excellent concert venue. Staff were friendly and organized, and very accommodating to concert goers. I attended two gigs here in which people queued for a very long time to get a good position. The staff made sure that those queuing were safe and able to enter the venue in order.

The venue itself was lovely. Massive but still felt quite intimate in many ways. Low stage, and barrier not far from the stage. Incredible acoustics. Helpful security-provided us with water and were super fast at helping people in need. Perfect concert experience from start to finish.

It's called an A/C!!! Or air conditioning if you don't do abbreviations. You can even do fans, whatever! But cramming hundreds of people into a venue and not supplying any air flow for 2 hours is torture.

I will not be coming back there unless they install A/C!

Totally ruined the Louise CK experience for all of us.

I liked the Hammersmith Apollo!!!

Ive only been once but had a great time.... nice sound, nice view from almost everywhere and I even got to touch Jordans hand...!!!! Yeeeeeeeah!!!!!

New Kids on the Block rock!!!

:D

Hammersmith Apollo reminds me of Brixton a bit from inside, but I think it is a little larger. They both host a variety of bands (my brother is going to see Saxon tonight- whooop!) and also comics, for example Jimmy Carr is going to be on in December. Nice.

My brother dragged me off to see Juda Priest with him once, which was , fascinating and amazing and god awful. Still, it all is a matter of taste and the venue did its job well. On a brighter note, I caught the Kings of Leon there, during a time in which I utterly loved them, and that was a brilliant night! Drinks prices are average for a venue of such magnitude- try and sneak a little something in!

Look no further for a great selection of live bands, comics, tribute bands, has been's and kiddie shows. Wonderful venue with an oldie world feel to it. Good access on the tube and roads, but don't bank on getting a decent drink at the interval. Go for a pre dinner drink in the many pub's etc in and around Hammersmith and then head over for the show. You go here because there is a specific reason to, not because you fancy seeing a show.

Check out the website, see if you fancy anything and then plan an evening out in Hammersmith, It could be worse. A great venue for both the acts' of today and also those that may be on the way down but are still worth going to see. I saw Billy Connolly here once and it was a great night. You get a real sense of occasion here, don't know why but it feels special.

Great venue for a gig! I've seen Radiohead and most recently Neil Young here, both great gigs. Standing downstairs for Radiohead was great. You can get really close to the stage and see everything. For Neil I had circle tickets that Rhodri had somehow managed to score from cancellations (tip - it's well worth ringing the venue to check, it was sold out months ago!)


The circle is also a great view and the acoustics are spot on - you can hear everything.


The only downside is the abysmal beer situation. Yet again a Carling sponsor deal wrecks what otherwise would be a 5 star venue.

This is a story with a suitable mix of happiness and sadness, inextricably linked. So the Apollo is definitely one of my favourite venues, the necessary carpet and still stale stench of smoke in yesteryear paving the way for some truly iconic musical legends to grace the expansive stage.


Last night was no exception, as Miss Tori Amos played a rousing set that smacked the keys of nostalgic and made me emotional. Now I'm going to harp on regarding her impeccable performance, but moreover the awful experience my friend and I suffered at the hands of a Gumtree ticket fraud who had sold me fake Ticketmaster tickets after meeting him to collect them. I had to buy new seats up in the gods. I won't elaborate any more, however a cautionary tale to all the honest, hard working people out therebe EXTREMELY careful when picking up bootleg tickets from strangers, fraudsters are bloody clever and can/will rip you off!

I went to the Hammersmith Apollo to see Goldfrapp last week.Whilst the venue itself is stunning, the decor is lovely Art Deco, there were a few issues for me.


Firstly, the bar was hugely overpriced. Why do music venues do this? It was £9.60 for two drinks. This seriously put a dampner on our enjoyment. Upstairs, the bar outside the circle seating is lovely. There is a kidney-shaped balcony in the middle lined with two-seater chairs. We managed to grab one of these and enjoyed the pre-gig buzz - it would have been nice to enjoy a few more drinks at this point too.


The seats themselves were super-tight with literally no leg room. I wasn't keen to spend £2 per item at the cloakroom so I was loaded up with my handbag, cardigan and winter coat on my lap, which was not very comfortable. I would try to get standing seats at this venue in future.

Apollo is a nice curved building from the front. The venue is reasonably big in size and has stalls for seating as well as the grand circle. The décor inside the theatre is really nice as well I really like the chandelier type lights either side and the gold paint used around.
Earlier this year I went along and watched Eurovision 60th anniversary and more recently Dynamo. When I went and saw Eurovision it was more on the first come first served as there was no seating downstairs but there was seating which could be booked for upstairs (all tickets had to be booked months in advanced and sold out immediately). When we was let in even though we was right near the front of the que it was not done very well as some people that was behind me got through the doors before us as they had opened several doors up and depending which staff member you got all determined the speed you got through and unfortunately ours was slow so when we got in we had to run to the front and even then we was at the side and not central. Dynamo was done differently as seating throughout downstairs and upstairs (tickets had to be prebooked online/via phone). The seats were ok but bit hard and a bit cramped but the show that Dynamo laid on was WOW !!!!!, truly amazing, outstanding, magical, out of this world ......... One of the best magic shows I have ever seen even better than the ones I saw in Las Vegas. I highly recommend to anyone if you can get a ticket to see Dynamo.
