I thought this might be of interest to some here... I was looking to see how large the floor capacity was. Turns out it's 1,150. That's pretty tiny. There's all sorts of other info as well.

    Yeah it's a really small venue, I've seen a few bands there. I would say it's a similar size to the Astoria.

    I knew the stage was low, but it's crazy to realise exactly how low it is... less than 2 1/2ft off the ground.

    Which is exactly why I'm glad I chose the balcony; I can't see a thing with a stage that's normal height, never mind one that's barely raised off the ground :lol: Being 5ft is rubbish for concerts!

    It's pretty awesome, isn't it? I'm still going "I can't believe I got tickets for it" over and over in my head. I've been very, very lucky with 10C over the past few years.

    For you 'shorties' - Tte floor is flat at SB (ie not sloped like at the Brixton Academy).

    Glad to see I'm not the only one acting like a 5 year old at Christmas. I'm counting sleeps and when anyone at work asks what I'm doing on the days I have booked off, I can barely get the words out through the widest grin ever and jangling nerves between my stomach to my finger tips. Evey time I get in the car alone, I "whoop" very loudly.

    This is the main drawback of the venue to me. Even for non-shorties, you're not getting to see a whole lot from the floor.

    I saw Live at this venue several years back and the view from the floor was fine (and I'm 'only' 5'10"). It was one of the very best gigs I've ever been to, actually.

    Should anyone no longer wish to go, however, in light of this information about the low stage then I know someone who'll take your ticket off you (points at self) ;)
    If I knew where it was, I would take you there...
