Fantastic time watching GB in the Davis CupAO Arena really well set upNo queues, impressed with ladies toilets, both in quantity and cleanliness.Only downside was the steepness of the stairs into the seats.Wouldn't recommend for anyone with vertigo or mobility problems, although the security guys were amazing helping people up and down.

Massive venue and a cold, wet and windy day when we got here so it was pretty chilly inside to begin with. However, the acoustics were great And we had a clear view of the stage!

I came here to see Muse which was great and the atmosphere was fantastic. The arena is comfortable with decent space in your seat compared to some other venues.The food/drink is incredibly expensive, which is kind of expected at these venues but here it felt particularly worse. I also saw a member of staff from one of the VIP areas go to the loo and not wash their hands which was a bit grim.Overall, decent if you don't plan on buying much food/drink in there.

We visited for Oktagon48. The event was good. The seating was OK.Not the easiest place to get to, so allow a little extra travel time.Security at the first check point weren't the best, but once inside, there was more comprehensive security, including a sniffer dog, who was very good at sniffing out people who had drugs on them.Tickets were £60 and were fairly near the octagon.Food and drink prices were expensive. £19 for a burger and a beer and the burger was small.

Great experience watching the Davis Cup for a small price! (£10) However, despite the great seating and views, outside you can’t get anywhere when it’s crowded and even when it’s not it’s still ages before you’ll get anything from the bar or cafe so bring your own snacks and see-through plastic bottle. This area was quite narrow and uncomfortable so we went out onto a nicer terrace area. Wish there was abit more room and outdoor area as you can’t leave and re-enter. Pretty good overall though.

A fantastic venue. I saw Hollywood Vampires here and it was an absolutely incredible gig. The band was amazing and the audio and technical features of the show were amazing. Getting into and out of the venue was very smooth and easy. There is even an entrance inside the station so you do not have to risk getting wet if it is raining.

Manchester Arena is a fab venue. We experienced the Electric Lounge for the first time which was lovely as there was no queueing for drinks or toilets so well worth the extra. It's a shame merch wasn't available in there as well! It was a great show and a fab VIP experience!

Went to visit Anne Marie on her Unhealthy Club Tour, and the atmosphere of the Arena is amazing!Giving everyone an almost breathtaking experience every time with multiple amenities and merch stands, everything is available prior to your show!I would highly recommend visiting the arena if you’re visiting a highly popular artist!

Been here for multiple concerts, most recently being 50 cent. I do like this area, but I feel like the concourse outside needs to be bigger as depending where abouts you enter, you can be walking all the way around to find a toilet. Managed to see a number of artists here and I can't wait for more to come
