Awful
Experience
-
Zero
stars
With
over
18
years
attending
music
venues
for
a
wide
variety
of
events,
I
can
honestly
say
that
this
is
the
worst
venue
I
have
ever
visited!
We
were
supposed
to
be
watching
the
Colorize
event
as
part
of
this
week’s
ADE.
As
an
avid
fan
of
a
number
of
the
artists
on
the
Colorize
label,
this
event
was
expected
to
be
one
of
the
highlights
of
my
trip
to
Amsterdam.
Whilst
I
had
read
some
pretty
damning
reviews
of
the
venue
prior
to
attending,
I
wasn’t
expecting….
The
trouble
started
as
soon
as
we
arrived
in
the
entry
queue,
with
staff
and
security
treating
customers
like
cattle
in
a
pen,
seemingly
letting
only
one
person
enter
the
premises
every
five
minutes.
When
my
friends
and
I
haphazardly
managed
to
reach
the
front
of
the
queue,
we
were
told
that
ID
and
tickets
needed
to
be
presented.
Unfortunately
one
of
my
friends
only
had
a
photo
of
his
passport
on
his
phone
(we’re
in
our
mid
30’s)
and
upon
telling
security,
they
tried
to
turn
away
the
full
group.
Eventually
one
of
the
group
had
to
leave
(over
20
Euros
for
the
ticket
down
the
drain)
and
we
were
allowed
to
enter.
An
older
couple
(40’s)
were
also
turned
away
for
not
having
ID.
Upon
entry
to
the
club,
you
HAVE
to
put
your
coat
into
the
cloakroom
and
pay
€1,50
for
the
privilege.
Whilst
this
is
not
a
great
sum
of
money,
given
the
rigmarole
to
enter
the
club
in
the
first
place,
plus
the
rude
and
arrogant
manner
of
staff
up
to
this
point,
the
experience
had
already
been
ruined.
We
arrived
inside
just
in
time
to
see
Klur
whom
I
was
most
looking
forward
to
from
the
lineup.
Unfortunately,
most
people
were
still
stuck
outside
in
the
rain
and
midway
through
Klur’s
set
there
were
technical
difficulties
with
sound
lost
for
nearly
a
full
song.
The
club
itself
was
reasonable,
but
nothing
to
write
home
about.
We
left
after
just
over
an
hour,
unable
to
enjoy
the
event.
Security
had
the
audacity
to
ask
why
we
were
leaving
(after
being
a
key
reason
why
the
event
had
been
spoilt).
At
this
point,
people
were
still
struggling
to
enter
the
venue.
Quite
why
ADE
have
allowed
this
venue
to
hold
events
beggars
belief.
