The Halls Wolverhampton

Lovely venue, we had a blast. The only thing is when you on your seat can not see the stage, lots of heads, then everyone stood up for all the concert and still hard to see. Bar prices are a bit high, and I spend over 200 pounds for 3 people. The first row is best but prob super expensive. I did menage to go to the front to take some good photos but was told off to go back 😫😪 lots of staff and security, no pictures after the concert which I hoped for 😢

I only gave 3 stars because of the sound, which obviously as a concert hall is a pretty big part of its expected service! A LOT of money has been spent on this place so I expected/hoped for big things. Lovely staff, really friendly security and a nice clean well maintained building…but then the sound…every time I have visited here the sound is just bad, vocals sound hollow and full of echo. Such a shame and one more thing, why on earth did they remove urinals from the upstairs toilets! I thought I had walked into the ladies with just three cubicles…🤯🤷🏻

Fantastic concert and venue, everything went smoothly from start to finish. Arrived at 6:50pm and was in by 7:15pm (doors were at 7pm) so not too bad. Merch queue was quite long but due to having time and seats it wasn't a concern, we were sat down by the start of the support act. Concert (Babymetal) was amazing and the sound was perfect. Not a huge venue so good views from most places. Only negative thing I'd say was the new balcony they'd put in, the people sat at the back couldn't see a portion of the stage as they were all stood up despite having seating tickets. So I'd bear that in mind if sitting at the back of the new balcony. All the security and staff were friendly and helpful to everyone where needed.

Decently enough renovated concert hall with great sound and acoustics with some operational flaws. I recently attended a wonderful gig by Marillion and had a seat on the front row in the first balcony, to the side. I couldn't have any complaints from where I was seated as the view was good however I'm aware that the downstairs temporary seating is not only uncomfortable, it's squeezed in too close to each other and offers terrible leg room. I'm so pleased I booked a seat upstairs because I know this would have ruined my evening being in such discomfort. I'm also aware that the front few rows to the sides of the venue offered dreadful views of the stage, whereby the occupants could only see half of the production due to poor sight lines. Either these seats should be sold for events at a cheaper price or preferably the whole seating plan be reduced in numbers and configured in such a way that all can see wherever sat in the room. A personal gripe of mine too, was the segregation within the venue. Upstairs ticket holders have to enter the venue via a different door to those downstairs and are restricted from mingling together once in. For me, this is utterly ridiculous as I personally was alone whilst my circle of friends were all downstairs. Why on earth are we not permitted to have a drink in the bar together pre-show? Absolute nonsense. The positioning of merch sales on each level is a good idea in principle, however, again due to the stupid segregation issue, I overheard some people being unable to buy particular tshirts in their sizes as they had sold out, but of course weren't allowed to go downstairs to see if the stock there could accommodate. Surely this issue should be addressed? I really don't like saying negative things about places I visit however, nothing changes if points are not highlighted and brought to the attention of those who need to know and I strongly feel my points raised need looking into. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the gig, and I wouldn't be put off visiting again, however I would have to choose an upstairs seat, similar to the one I had unless changes are made. Good luck and best wishes.
