Good morning UB40 fans! Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately as the venue, we had no control over the ticketing, entry gates or the set times. We appreciate your concerns & if you have any further queries, please contact the ticket seller. Thanks, The EG

Hi All, We apologise for the delay, sound check went longer than expected and unfortunately was out of our control. We appreciate your patience & hope you enjoy the show.

The queuing system was tedious, frustrating and towards the end dangerous. 2 people bag checking 2 people scanning tickets was never going to work. We were all lucky it was a very patient crowd. Please please please get it together. It would be a waste of a good venue if people stop coming due to your organizational skills. UB40 were fabulous.

We started in the queue at 7.30pm. The queue then was half way to Central Coast Highway. People drinking on the street. Glass bottles discarded everywhere. People walking down the middle of the road as there was no room on the nature strip. Facebook event said 7.30pm start. Tickets said 8pm. We could have turned up at 10pm and still had time to kill before UB40 came on at 10.30pm. Pretty expensive for a single act and a relatively short show. UB40 made up for the failures of the organisers. We will think twice before attending another event.

Queued for over an hour which was ridiculous, we were still in the queue when UB40 arrived at the venue just after 9pm - once they did finally come on stage they were awesome - great atmosphere

Waited in the queue for an hour with crutches due to foot surgery- ridiculous. Why couldn't we go in during sound check ????? UB40 were fab but very late on stage.

Good job we decided to stay at the pub a bit longer but still had to queue for ages, luckily it was a good crowd and us poms are used to queuing...UB40 made up up for the delays, still fantastic.

UB 40 were awesome, however organization of the event was a shambles, someone should get their arse kicked when you think of the thousands of dollars that were lost by keeping a mile long queue waiting hours to get in.

ABSOLUTe joke we’ve been waiting to get in for over 2 hours and now missing part of the concert . Get yr bloody act together How unprofessional 🤬

So if you have no control who does !! Or didn`t for that matter .. Great Venus awesome band but seriously needs someone who can organise So who was responsible for only 1 till at the food counter !!.😡

Whay is a mile long queue? Absolute joke

Really enjoyed the show , will not attend this venue again , absolute shambles , don’t know who was responsible but they really need to get their act together , or there won’t be anymore acts 😂😂

Your website said gates opened at 730. They only started scanning tickets then. Another half hr passed before they started letting us in. Support acts were woeful, which just made people drink more as they were bored. There were still people queuing to get in at 9pm. This won’t be my first choice for an event destination again

Doors were supposed to open at 730. It’s now after 9 still waiting to get in and the line is still a mile long. Great organising

UB40 Awsome as always .. 4th time I've seen them.. But the organisation or lack off was a joke .. No way you will be next big Coasts entertainment venue if that's the best you av .. Sound check excuses which was still going on when we eventually got in .. Jamming session and old hat DJ for back up .. Good job you had UB4O to save the night .. And 1 till open to get food for how many people .. Come on get it together.

What a shame
