the glasgow royal concert hall

Brilliant night watching the RSNO. Great seats, great view and great acoustics. Can't find fault with anything.

I love the pianos dotted around the hall. A lovely way to engage and inspire others to play.The RNSO were outstanding and well worth hearing perform. The conductor spoke engagingly and his passion for music for evident.A wonderful evening with helpful staff

1st trip to concert hall. Brilliant show with sound just right for me, easy access for me with mobility problem. Comfy seats with adequate leg room. Only disappointment was problem finding where disabled toilet was. Had to ask member of staff who guided me round hidden corner of cafe to one, I saw no sign pointing out where it was. I certainly could not have negotiated stairs to other ones. Plenty room on bar level for one surely. Great venue apart from that.

First visit to this venue. Very good, lots of space for wheelchair access and carers. Concert was brilliant but that was to be expected. Staff not keen on those taking photos and videos but if you wanted to dance then that is ok. Staff also very helpful.

Great venue. From a few months ago booking the tickets the staff were extremely helpful and this continued to the actual night of the performance.Nice place , good bar service and great seat Row M seat 14.The show was fantastic with a great lead duo and three high quality musicians backing them. A timeline of chat and a great choice of songs to encapsulate the famous duo's story. Catch it if you can!

Very comfortable place to hold the dance competition. Hopefully will be able to attend there for World's next year!

Really good value for the level of entertainment. Had a great night, but late means late!Saw a good variety of bands and different types of singers, musicians.Drinks from bar, quite expensive

Another year of Celtic Connections has finished - and another great series. The Concert Hall complex is truly excellent, both the main hall and the smaller hallsThe café is a good place for a quiet tea coffee, or lunch right in the heart of the city centre. A real secret, up the big steps at the top of Buchanan Street and the bottom of Sauchiehall Street

This was a great show at the Concert Hall. The hall itself is a wonderful arena with uninterrupted views from every seat. The sound and acoustics are marvellous too. The bars are always busy but fully staffed and it's easy to get a drink. Although it's best that you order your 'half time'' drink before you go into the show. It's then no problem to pick your drinks up as soon as the break starts. It really is a lovely area to sit in, a fantastic modern theatre.

Fantastic atmosphere particularly when the house is nearly full. Carlos Nunez is a great showman and his concerts are lively and very polished and professional

This was the most amazing venue to go see a concert. Never been there before and to be honest didn't even know it existed. It was not too big and not small either, but the sound was incredible.

Thanks you Angelique Kidjo for a memorable concert. Fantastic venue, thrilling concert, amazing voice, superb Royal Scottish National Orchestra, as always.

Loved the concert hall didnt like the Tea Room long lines to order food and a lack of tables and seats not a great selection better places to eat nearby and better prices.Theatre seating was very good good views of stage everywhere

This is a lovely building, spacious, light, and an oasis away from the busy city, right at the top of Sauchihall street, the auditaurium is huge, but not over powering. There is a good Cafe. We came to see The Johan Stauss Concert, pure magic,

The Royal Concert Hall is a lovely hall with an impressive seat layout and great acoustics. However, the venue fails badly in a number of respects: It is barely accessible to disabled people (the web site claim that, 'All our auditoriums are fully accessible to those with mobility difficulties' is untrue); the only way to obtain even very basic food is to queue for an extraordinary length of time; and management do not understand the importance of being able to collect prepaid tickets quickly for a same day performance.I visited the Concert Hall in December with my father, who is 93 and has restricted mobility. The concert featured a Glenn Miller tribute band and attracted a high number of older and disabled patrons. The Concert Hall was almost totally unable to provide access for people with mobility difficulties. We had seats on the fourth floor, and queued for about 20 minutes to ride get on the single, very small elevator. The only response from the staff was to encourage people to use the stairs instead. We witnessed the disgraceful sight of a wheelchair user struggling out of his wheelchair to attempt a very painful ascent of the stairs because he had given up on the hope of getting access to an elevator; A shameful indictment of the venue. Coming back down from the fourth floor, a young member of staff continually approached the disabled people waiting (again) for the tiny lift, telling them, 'It's only one flight of stairs.' I left my disabled father to ride on the elevator and went down the three flights of stairs (with a total of 56 steps). I understand that staff were trying to help, but they seemed completely unaware of the difficulties people with disabilities may have with even small numbers of stairs.A little elevator provided to deal with the additional steps leading to the front of the building looked more suited to transporting goods than people. It was working but, again, had a queue. There seemed to be no ramp area which many disabled people could have used to avoid the queue. Since the restaurant was closed for renovations, we used the cafe bar. We queued for almost exactly one hour for three plates each with four small triangular sandwiches, a small portion of salad, and some crisps. The queue was not very long but moved at a tortuously slow pace. We heard that this was due to the cafe policy of only providing freshly made food. (About halfway through the queuing process, we would have given good money for a plate of previously prepared sandwiches.) The cafe ran out of several items on the menu - pea soup, white bread and coleslaw and was unable to meet customer demands. The queue turned into a chaotic mess of 'drinks only' customers jumping the queue to get drinks and then 'food only' customers pushing past them to pay for a meal. While my husband took the cafe queue shift, I went to collect our prepaid tickets for the show. The venue does have a desk for that type of ticket, but, (surprise) it was closed. So I stood for 15 minutes behind people buying tickets for future shows and spending time picking their best seats. So, a venue with great potential, but as things stand, be prepared for very long queues for any transaction, and ideally, eat elsewhere. And, if you have restricted mobility, prepare for a very long and frustrating wait indeed for access to the elevator. I cannot understand why the venue which was designed for so many people failed so badly to cope with the numbers at this performance. It is frustrating as we live in Glasgow and had intended to revisit the Concert Hall throughout 2015.
