"Decent food and drinks, just a little pricey"
The food was better than I expected for an arena. I had a burger and chips and both were hot and decent. Drinks were fine as well, and the queues moved along okay. The prices are definitely on the high side, but I suppose that’s standard for venues these days. Still, it would be nice if places kept things a bit more reasonable for people just trying to enjoy a night out.
"Queues were way better than I expected"
I went to a gig here and braced myself for awful queues, because that usually puts me in a bad mood before the night even starts. But it was actually fine. The staff kept everything moving along and it felt organised, so I relaxed quickly. Got in faster than I thought I would, with no real hassle

"Decent venue, but finding seats was a hassle"
The venue itself was alright, but getting to our seats was way more frustrating than it needed to be. The signs weren’t very clear, so we kept walking around in circles and having to explain to different people where we were trying to go, which got old quickly. The staff seemed busy, so we didn’t get much help there either. For such a big place, the layout really should be a lot easier to figure out.
"Entry and exit were frustrating"
Went there for a gig and the show was good, well, actually it was fine overall, but getting in was such a hassle. The queues barely seemed to move, and the staff looked like they weren’t totally sure where people were supposed to go. Leaving afterwards was no better, everyone was just sort of shuffling around with hardly any direction. For a venue that big, I expected things to run a lot smoother. I’d probably go again if it was for someone I really wanted to see, but they definitely need to sort out the entry and exit

"The toilets were rough. I went..."
The toilets were rough. I went in about 2 or 3 times and each time the seats were dirty, the floor was wet, and there was a bad smell that seemed to hang around for most of the night.

"Really Helpful with Accessibility"
I had a good experience here with accessibility. The staff were friendly and quick to point me in the right direction, and I really appreciated that the ramps were easy to spot and placed in convenient areas. It made getting around a lot less stressful.

"Decent venue, but a bit confusing inside"
I went to an event here recently and overall the venue was fine. Nothing amazing, but it did the job, and getting in was straightforward. Security at the doors were okay too, no real complaints there.
It was quite busy once we got inside, so I get that everyone was probably rushing around, but finding the right block and seats wasn’t the easiest. We had to ask a couple of staff members where to go, and the answers were short.
One person just pointed in a direction and walked off, which made it feel like we were bothering them more than anything. The place itself was alright, I just think the staff inside could’ve been a bit more helpful, especially when people are trying to find where they’re meant to be

"Pretty easy to figure out"
I was able to find tickets quickly, so overall it seemed easy enough to use. Nothing too complicated from what I could tell.

"Parking Was OK, But Give Yourself Extra Time"
Went to the arena parking was a bit hit or miss. There are car parks nearby, so it’s not like you’re stuck, but getting in and especially out after the show took AGES. The signs could definitely be clearer too because we ended up driving around for a while before figuring it out. Not terrible overall, but next time I’d 100% leave extra time.

"Sound was kinda Hit or miss"
From where we were sitting, the vocals just sounded Muddy at times. some parts were fine, but overall the sound wasn’t super consistent

"Security were proper professional"
I went in after having a bit of a long day, and the security staff were really professional. It might sound like a small thing, but I noticed it straight away while I was sorting my coat and checking my phone. They were calm, polite, and on top of things, so I felt safe inside the whole time.

"Decent Night, but the Drink Prices Are Ridiculous"
Had an okay night overall. The food was fine, nothing amazing but definitely edible. The drinks, though, were ridiculously expensive for what they were, which kind of took away from the experience

"I had a really good time overall..."
I had a really good time overall, the show itself was great. I’ve been to a few similar gigs before, and this one definitely held up in terms of the performance. The only downside was the waiting around. Getting drinks took ages, and leaving at the end felt just as slow. Still enjoyed the night, but the queues were annoying...

"I went to see a show and..."
I went to see a show and, the seats kind of ruined the whole thing for me. The performance itself was fine, and I’d been looking forward to it all week, even grabbed dinner beforehand, which was actually the best part of the night. But once I sat down, it was just hard, cramped, and there was basically no leg room. I kept shifting around the entire time trying to get comfortable. For the price of tickets these days, you’d expect to at least sit without feeling like you’re folded into a suitcase

The place was really clean inside. The toilets and seats were spotless, so I had no complaints at all.

"Crowd control was a mess"
It was frustrating. There were lines everywhere, nobody seemed to know where to go, and every staff member I asked gave a different answer or just looked confused. Felt like no one was really in charge. Anyway.

"Went to a gig here and had a..."
Went to a gig here and had a really good time. I don’t know if it was just the crowd that night, but the atmosphere felt great and everyone seemed properly into it, which made a big difference. The sound was decent from where we were sitting too, at least I thought so. The only slight downside was the queue for drinks being a bit slow, but it wasn’t enough to spoil the night. Overall, I had fun and would definitely go back.
"Booking tickets was way more hassle than it should’ve been"
I tried booking tickets through motorpointarenanottingham.com it was a mess. I’d put all my details in, then it would randomly kick me right back to the start. You’d think a ticket site would at least manage the basic part of taking a booking without making you do it over and over.
When the order finally went through, the confirmation email took ages to arrive and then had the wrong seat details on it. I contacted customer service, but just got what felt like copy-and-paste replies that didn’t actually sort anything out. It made the whole thing way more stressful than it needed to be, so I wouldn’t use it again.

"A bit pricey for the experience"
I had an okay time, but the prices felt steep. Not saying it’s a scam, but between the tickets and the drinks, it ended up costing way more than I expected for what you actually get...

"View of the Stage Was Just Okay"
Went to a gig here the other night after grabbing dinner nearby, and overall the venue was fine. Nothing really wrong with the place, but from where we were sitting, the stage view wasn’t the best. I found myself watching the screens more than the actual band at times, which was a bit of a shame since we’d been looking forward to seeing them live. Not terrible or anything, just kind of disappointing for the seats we had
