Review of Show Me Love
The venue was big enough but the time to get in and put coats away was too long. the cues for the toilets were ridiculous, the drink options were over priced considering they were a choice of canned mixers and choice was very limited. Some staff were allowing unopened cans to avoid lengthy waiting times while others opened all cans making it difficult. The music was ok however a garage night it was not and we were hugely disappointed at how disjointed the music and dj’s were. The dancers which we were led to believe would have been performers were just dancers and no other performance as advertised. A let down, not worth the ticket money which I feel really let down by.

Review of Show Me Love
Well over priced for what it was. Spent half my evening queuing up for the toilet and for a drink. Each queue was so big it was going in and onto the “dance area”. Will not be returning to charter hall any time soon. My money back would be greatly appreciated. :)

Review of Show Me Love
The most poorly organised event I have ever been to! 45mins queuing to get in, 45 mins queuing for a drink and 30mins walking around trying to find the cloakroom that was advertised, which ended up not being signed and staff either thought there wasn’t one or had no clue where it was. Luckily I didn’t need the toilet while I was there as the queue for the ladies was roughly around an hour (as I was told by friends). The organisers obviously wanted to sell out but clearly didn’t want to waste profits on making the event more enjoyable. There was a poor choice of drinks, only cans of mixed spirits and mixers / cheap mini bottles of wine and re-sold for £5 each. The sound system could be better as at times it was hard to hear vocals over the music. Definitely not worth the ticket price.

Review of Show Me Love
The artists were amazing but the venue was horrific. We stood in the freezing cold outside for an hour to get in even though the event had been open for 90 minutes already. We queued over 20 minutes per toilet run, 25 minutes per bar run to buy tins of alcohol for £5 a can. The dance floor was a severe safety hazard with bottles cups beer and urine where people couldn’t be bothered to queue. The venue should stick to sports events and seated options this is not equipped for this type of event. They were disorganised and several short staffed. We left 90 minutes early, would not recommend this and would not return. The music was brilliant and the actual show was really good.

Review of Show Me Love
Music was amazing! Really enjoyed DJ Luck and MC Neat!
The venue and organisation let it down, queue’s for the ladies and bar were ridiculous!
I get drink prices are more expensive at events but the selection was poor.
Such a shame that these parts let the night down as the music was awesome!

Review of Show Me Love
I was not impressed after having paid £27 for a ticket that I then had to queue outside in the cold for 30 minutes to get in, then after getting inside we then had to queue again for the bar and then queue again for the toilets. Also the drinks were ridiculously expensive 5 pound for a small tin of Smirnoff and C**e. The hall was very large and lacked some atmosphere. But couldn’t fault the music which was awesome and kept us dancing all night.

Review of Show Me Love
Venue couldn't cope with that volume of people. Bar menu was shocking! The guy playing the trumpet was good but on the stage far too long. A bit more variety earlier on in the event may have stopped us leaving after 3 hours!

Review of Show Me Love
The event itself was brilliant but queued for ages to get in which needed better organisation. The bar served quickly but limited drinks was horrible as not much choice. Drinking cans from Tesco at a £5er each is not good. The artists djs n music was amazing. Loved DJ luck n MC neat 👌❤️
