upstairs in whelans is shit

I'd consider not going if its there. Possibly the worst venue I've ever been in in my short life

 

[GO]

Whats so bad about it?

 

[east hastings]

if you get up the front its grand

 

[GO]

How many people does it hold?Is the sound that bad if yer not up the front?I hate that in a venue if you have to be sitting on the singers lip to get it.

 

[east hastings]

[GO]

Whats so bad about it?

its the location of the stage. If they put it back in the other corner (at the angle of the 'L') it'd be way better. That way people could see from everywhere. As it is, the only people who can see what is going on are the 20 or so that barge their way into the front section.

That archway is a pain in the hole. It cuts off a good section of the room from seeing anything. Because of this everyone tries to barge their way up the front. Everyone was packed into that section like sardines, while there was plenty of room everywhere else.

and the stage is way too low. I could barely even see the support act and I was only about 10ft or so back.

plus you have to walk through the smoking section in whelans to get to it. I'm sure theres some law being broken there.

shit venue. I was gonna go to the chequerboard album launch last night, but didn't, cos of the venue.
