The skating part of the show was amazing. We loved seeing our favourites up close and they put on a great show.
I would have given 5 stars to the skating portion, but the rest was very disappointing. We didnât like that they had an opening act without advising ticket holders. This venue is terrible for parking. We arrived 45 minutes early and in that amount of time were unable to get into the underground parking due to traffic lights that were terribly programmed and didnât permit enough movement of traffic after pedestrians walked. (The city must do something about this on event nights!) In order to not be late, we had to change plans and roam around to find parking outside... so we made it to our seats in a panic at 6:59, with 1 minute to spare! After all this, however, we discovered that there was actually an opening act at 7:00, THEN followed by a 30-minute intermission!! (they announced then that it would be 20). So the show that had been advertised as starting at 7:00pm actually started at 8:00pm. This should have been announced! It should be indicated on our tickets, so people donât need to rush to get there, fearing theyâll miss the start of the show. We and many around us were very disappointed about this, and it had an impact on our enjoyment of the evening overall.
As a result of this very disorganized event and venue, we have decided that we will never attend an event at PlaceBell again.
