St. George's Quarter Liverpool reviews by real event-goers

Review of Hope and Glory Festival

Shambles. Bunch of clowns who couldn't organise a school disco. Sound engineers need hearing aids. I want my money back.

Review of Hope and Glory Festival

Shambolic. No other way to describe it.

Review of Hope and Glory Festival

Disgraceful. The most poorly organised event ive ever been to. Paid for a weekend pass only for it to be cancelled today (Sunday). Only 1 way in & out of where main toilets were, the queues were at least 50 people deep, was that bad that people were climbing over barriers to get out - told security & they said "nowt we can do". I got moved from a bar by a copper because it was apparently "collapsing". We waited over an hour past the start time to get in, the schedule was over 2 hours behind & some acts were cancelled, those that did perform had their sets cut short, no crowd control.....a complete shambles. The only saving grace was that the acts we did see were awesome.

Review of Hope and Glory Festival

It was an absolute shambles

Review of Hope and Glory Festival

After queuing up for over an hour to actually get in, we then queued up for another 30 minutes to use the toilets. Feeling totally unsafe in such chaotic and cramped conditions we decided to leave. We saw no bands at all!

Review of Hope and Glory Festival

It was horrendous, unsafe, people pushing, unsafe fencing. Unable to buy a drink. Ridiculous toilet queue. Left after an hour after seeing one act. I'm gutted.

Review of Hope and Glory Festival

Poor organisation , not enough bars or toilets

Review of Hope and Glory Festival

Very disappointed to say the least!!
Venue was over crowded we queued for hours even after having pre ordered tickets. The event was so unorganised, what a shame on the city if Liverpool people traveled from across the country and were refused entry!! We eventually gave up and left!!

Review of Hope and Glory Festival

Absolutely terrible. Great line up but organisation was a joke

Review of Hope and Glory Festival

Absolute cluster f**k to end all cluster f**ks! Where do I begin?
1. Queues for days for everything - getting in, toilets, drinks.
2. Venue size - too small for amount of tickets sold - a crowd crush waiting to happen.
3. Staffing - saw few security or first aiders.
4. Sound quality - poor - stages too close - couldn't hear vocals.

Review of Hope and Glory Festival

Review of Hope and Glory Festival

It was very bad, bad venue just not suitable, unsafe. Very bad organisation, hours to get in, hours to wait in bar queues. 3 Stages in such a small space meant you could hear 3 songs at the same time. No sign post to anything. Toilets was badly planned, urinals hidden and once found it was a wet mess. Tight areas to get form place to place I am surprised to not hear of people being hurt. In thes too tight spaces acrobatic acts were attempting things. Very bad place! Due to getting in queue and waiting not moving whilst Police reviewed situation many bands missed, then more bands missed while queuing for toilet / bar and trying to move around. All bands late, sets cut. An unsafe unorganised mess. No hope, certainty no glory.

Review of Hope and Glory Festival

Terrible set up. Disorganised and not a safe venue. Had great potential to be fantastic but failed

Review of Hope and Glory Festival

More like Hopeless and Gloryless. Worst festival/gig been to. Complete shambles, bands 2 hours late, sets cut short, one act dropped. Overcrowded, how it passed a H&S check is beyond me. Left after Embrace as felt too dangerous, amazed no one was injured in the crush. Doubt this will be held again but would avoid if it is.

Review of Hope and Glory Festival

Awful organisation, cancelled by a tweet without an apology. Saturday was unsafe and a disorganised mess.

Review of Hope and Glory Festival

Can't rate music only saw a few buskers on the way to a pub after leaving the festival after 10 minutes; as we felt unsafe with the amount of people in such a small venue. Always happy to queue for a festival but when you have to wait 30 mins due to over crowding and for everyone (100s) to be let in after you is a joke! Would have took ages to get a drink, if we had have got a drink I would have spilt it all down myself by the time I got out of the horrendous queues. Travelled all the way from Oxfordshire. Had great night at the pub though! Would like my money back as I'm sure do all the other people who didn't see any music!!

Review of Hope and Glory Festival

Shame on you, shambolic , dangerous. Whoever organised this needs to act quickly with full refunds etc. The only music heard was outside waiting to get in ,hardcore James fan seriously disappointed.My only hope is that nobody was seriously hurt . 12 hour round trip to que up for over 3 hours see fights and more ques.This is what happens when organisers get greedy
