Difficult to see giving the layout of the event and the amount of people there

Annie Moon was excellent but I suspect the venue oversold tick*ts and most people had to stand

Overall rating: 1.5 Verified review

Having seen Annie at a few Venues, this was by far the worst. No tick*ts were checked, there wasn't nearly enough seating, there were regular patrons, who hadn't paid for tick*ts, but were in the bar intoxicated (which is fair - it is completely the wrong venue for this type of event) all in all, very disappointing. I think Annie herself would agree, though she did try her best to work with what she had.

Annie moon was great, I didn't personally get a reading but hearing other people's stories was so interesting.
The venue (not Annie's fault) was disorganised and there were non paying patrons very drunk still being served and running the atmosphere. They got told to leave and after that it was great.

The night was a total disaster- there was no organisation with scanning tick*ts and people were just walking in with no tick*ts to the point where it was completely packed and where we were sitting we could not see or hear Annie Moon. There were drunk people talking all through it with no consideration for the ones who had actually bought tick*ts to see the show - we left at the first break totally disgusted.

No reflection at all on Annie Moon, but terrible venue/event - far too many people, not enough seats but the main issue was as well as people who had purchased tick*ts there were lots of others just wandering in and out for drinks in the same area so pointless selling/buying tick*ts! Many of others there without tick*ts were drunk, noisy and also heckling what Annie was trying to say (or the bits of it we could actually hear which wasn't much) - have never left one of these events after 30 minutes but was unbearable and felt bad for Annie trying her best in a horrible chaotic environment.

Review of Audience with Annie moon

Overall rating: 1 Verified review

The venue was over-subscribed, too crowded and totally unsuitable for this type of event. The sound quality was very poor. The venue is a well established bar yet we were served drinks in plastic disposable cups. We paid £22.50 per tick*t yet they were not checked at the door, anyone could walk in without a tick*t, and several people did, which resulted in chaos and a higher than acceptable noise level. The "readings" were generic and didn't feel like they were genuinely directed to the individuals chosen. Very disappointing and several people around us left early intending to claim a refund, which I agree with.
