The Perfect Night 2015 - Chester Racecourse
Supposedly three rooms available, there was only one room we had access too and a second room which was VIP, very misleading. The drinks were overpriced and the music poor, the sound system was terrible. We stayed for 15 minutes.

The perfect night-definitely NOT perfect!
I had been to Chester Racecourse for New years eve about 7 years ago and I was disappointed then, but I thought it might have improved by now.
I remember there being about 3 different rooms with a bar and DJ in last time I went including the VIP room, this time there was only one room (with 1 bar) and the VIP upstairs. It was a nightmare trying to get to the bar and the drinks were overpriced! (£8 each) my friends and I arrived before 11 o'clock and just about managed to get a drink for the countdown to midnight!
The music wasn't anything special- I'm not really sure what we were paying for.
The queue for the ladies toilets was ridiculous, it ended up nearly reaching the bar at one point.
The place was full of kids and drugs.
My friends and I gave up and left about 1.30am and went to a house party.
I thought the whole night was a complete rip off, I won't be going again and I won't be recommending it to anyone.

Waste
Complete rip off. The bar was poorly stocked (ran out of bubbly before 11pm), staff were slow to serve and took at least 30 minutes to get a drink. Music was terrible, as were the special guests. Place was riddled with drugs and bouncers accusing the wrong people consistently. No atmosphere. At £25 per ticket, it was bad.

New Years Eve
I thought the event was terrible. The drinks were overpriced and there was no point in having a VIP room. Both rooms were the same and my wrist band was never checked. I would not recommend this event to anyone I was just lucky that I was with great company. Also, the countdown was done at 11.50pm for some strange reason. Overall, let down.

Racecourse
Very bad start to the beggining as paid for vip but names werent on the list! No fireworks which dissappointed. Boy george was amazing, westwood came on and walked straight away. Top floor was definately the best apart from the dj on at first as his mixing was awful, my 6yr old could have done better ha!

Great Music
Start with the positive; the music was great (At least on the main floor). Bassline was immense and the DJs were quality. Boy George didn't disapoint. However, went up to RnB floor at about 1am, went back down after realising how dead it was. Tim Westwood came and owned the place, playing a great set in his usual indifferent manner, making time for photos before it. Classy place; better than the other clubs around Chester. Prices were big; Double vodka and c**e £7.50, bottle of wine £18. It was expected from the venue though. £35 tickets aren't cheap either. We weren't too bothered by the lack of fireworks, but many people were; we did pay for them. Atmosphere was the usual student quality: drunk, loud, etc. Overall excellent night, however I wouldn't recomend as I'm sure there were better places to go that night :(. Won't be going again next year.

Wouldn't recommend
Boy George great. Had a good night as we made the most of it with friends but wouldn't recommend. Main room music good but RnB floor crap - westwood looked bored throughout his slot and all night the main room was the only one with anything decent on to dance to. Venue and acoustics not great. No fireworks at New Year!! (Flyers kept changing on whether fireworks were for VIP or for everyone but I think there should have definitely been fireworks for all !!). Felt a bit like the organisers were trying to make as much profit as possible with a lack of effort on the venue and especially with the lack of fireworks. Could have been so much better. Wouldn't recommend for next year.

Ok
Venue could be better with some "dressing" and better lighting, also felt that the dj booth was too remote from the crowd. But....Friendly punters, good atmosphere, and fills a gap in the Chester house music scene, so well done the promoters, and keep going.
