It's a well documented fact that a cup of joe always smells better than it tastes.

Daughter says the programmes were fifteen quid
Indeed... Mrs T seemed to think it was essential to our enjoyment of the evening too.
Talking of smells... does West Stand Lower block G always smell like a public toilet? It was nasty, even when we arrived at 7pm.

Ouch!
The burgers at £5 were frankly awful. Whoever was responsible should be embarrassed by both the product, the service and the prices.
I feel rather stupid having paid for them... but unlike many concert venues, there was nothing else on offer apart from Maltesers and Crisps.

And I will NEVER park in The Bridge car park again. What a RIDICULOUS set up that is.
The complete lack of stewarding or traffic control meant it took three times as long as it should to clear. WOEFUL.

Roll on the football season... Uni Car Park, WSU, pie and a pint. BLISS 
ROD was ace though for an old codger - nice mix of old and new, the band were quality, the visuals very impressive, and the sound was great from WSL - not sure what people are complaining about there??
Kronenburg was £4.80 a pint I thought the Fosters was the same, Harvey's was a bit cheaper.
I was queuing up for a beer in the south end of the WSL and overheard a bloke saying that the bars in the SW corner hardly had any queues, he was correct and we got served straight away.
English lessons for some of the bar staff would have been helpful before this event.

Can only speak as I find - and only aimed at trying to provide optimum convenience for fans and concert goers. I'd like to think the Amex could become a great venue for all sorts of events, but it is obviously falling short. I waited 40 minutes with my wife directly after the event for trains from Falmer to Lewes - there were two in that time which seemed to be regular services. We got on the 2nd train, so we weren't horribly delayed. My point is that after such an event I would expect trains to be rumbling through at 5 minute intervals in both directions - having the effect that people are cleared quickly and efficiently and many more would then avoid the temptation to drive. This cannot be beyond the logistical planning teams remit.

It was far worse than for home games- and that's bad! There was no-one supervising the one totally inadequate exit. Result - total chaos and a lot of people who clearly will never come to the Amex again. The highlight- the man who got a white builder's helmet and a yellow jacket from his car and began directing the traffic! For five minutes order reigned in the midst of mayhem!
If the club is to hold more of these events the organization needs vastly improved. After all, although the concert was arranged by an external promoter, it is the club that will be viewed as responsible.

Was there a standing area in front of the stage?

A different kind of pasty
No one at all in our block of seats on the pitch was sitting. Everyone stood - and there were no stewards telling us to sit down either
