点评:I took my wife and her sister to see The Drifters. We booked last year and it was a Christmas gift for my sister-in-law. Although we arrived early, there was nowhere to park. St Andrew Street car park was chocka and the evil traffic wardens were everywhere slapping tickets on windscreens. I had to drop the girls off and drive to the awful Gascoyne Way multi storey. Dreadful place. I made my way back and we were directed to our seats. Three people looked at our tickets and one guy scanned the code on them. We found ourselves almost at the front of the stalls. I never book the front rows. On top of that, a lady was sitting in one of our seats. The show was a sell out, so it wasn't possible to sit in empty seats. There weren't any! After four more people looked at our tickets, it was decided that we must be in the circle seats upstairs. There was nothing on the ticket to indicate this and there seems to be C12, C13 and C14 upstairs as well as downstairs. We managed to get seated with seconds to spare before the start of the show. We had been looking forward to seeing this theatre that was closed for 4 years for improvements, but we were very disappointed. I think it was better before when it had a proper box office instead of screens for booking your tickets. The overall feel of it was that it hasn't been finished off properly. The sound quality was extremely poor. We will stick with the Spotlight in Hoddesdon, thanks.
翻译:我带妻子和她姐姐去看《流浪者》的演出。我们去年预定了票,这是送给嫂子的圣诞礼物。虽然我们很早就到了,但没地方停车。圣安德鲁街停车场挤满了人,到处都是邪恶的交通督导员,把罚单贴在挡风玻璃上。我不得不把女孩们放下,然后开车去了可怕的加斯科因路多层建筑。太可怕了。我回到了那里,我们被带到了座位上。有三个人看了我们的票,一个人扫描了票上的代码。我们发现自己几乎坐在了正厅的最前面。我从来没有预定过前排。更糟糕的是,一位女士坐在我们的一个座位上。演出票卖光了,所以不可能有空座位。没有空座位!又有四个人看了我们的票,他们决定我们必须坐在楼上的圆形座位上。票上没有任何东西表明这一点,楼上和楼下似乎都有 C12、C13 和 C14。我们在演出开始前几秒钟就坐了下来。我们一直期待着看到这个因改善而关闭了 4 年的剧院,但我们非常失望。我认为以前当它有一个合适的售票处而不是用于预订门票的屏幕时会更好。总体感觉是它还没有完全完工。音质非常差。我们会继续选择霍德斯登的 Spotlight,谢谢。
