Very expensive for drinks. Waste of money.

Review of Clubland Classix

The MEC was brilliant the acts and music was really good however flip n fill didn’t arrive. I purchased three VIP tickets which stated a free drink + free bus to the after party, I waited outside the MEC for half an hour for no bus to arrive I had to pay for a taxi. The ‘afterparty’ (if you can even call it that) was an absolute joke! It was originally meant to be at Gorillaz, on the day of the event it got changed to SOHO which the after party wasn’t even in there! We were in a to let room which was absolutely tiny, it was like a freezer! In the toilets there were wires hanging out of the ceiling from where light bulbs are suppose to be, it was disgusting! I didn’t even receive my free drink either which my ticket stated I was entitled to! This completely ruined my night, then I went next door to actual SOHO and asked where is the clubland after party to which the doormen replied next door and if I wanted to be in soho then I had to pay to get in. I have been completely ripped off! And will not recommend anyone to attend the after party, it had been chucked together within 5 minutes. False advertisement!!!

Review of Lovely Laura + Ben Santiago

Laura and Ben were excellent, but the venue was absolutely freezing, people were leaving early, shame because it could be amazing.

Would have enjoyed the wonderful lovely laura if the MEC wasn’t so cold, we had to leave early before hyperthermia kicked in. Ruined the whole evening.

An amazing gig but come on MEC do something about the heating it was warmer outside in the freezing temperatures of -1 than inside people were not impressed I mean who goes out on a night out in town to a gig and has to wear 6 layers of clothes very disappointing and put a spoiler on the night esp when Laura n Ben didn’t get on stage till gone 12:30!!

Review of Lovely Laura + Ben Santiago

Event started very late, so crowd was very drunk and loud, prior to the event starting. Ruined what could have been a great evening. Spent more time being anxious of crowd disturbance, rather than enjoying the concert
