Review of Gateshead Stadium Indoor & Outdoor Christmas Market
The whole experience of getting into this event took us 2 hours..stuck in traffic at the junction of the arena for 1hr then queued up to get into the arena for 1hr..
On a plus note once in tge Christmas Mark*t was really good..could of done with more coffee and food stalls..all running out of things and queues very long

Review of Gateshead Stadium Indoor & Outdoor Christmas Market
We pre booked tick*ts but still had to wait in a huge queue outside for over an hour. The organisation of this event was appalling.
What was the point in booking tick*ts if we still had to queue up. My tick*ts were never checked either.
Majority of the stalls had nothing to do with Christmas, it was more of a car boot sale than a Christmas mark*t. No Christmas music, no Christmas lights or any decorations whatsoever, nothing Christmassy about this event.
Outdoors there was only a hand full of stalls, maybe 6 at a push bearing in mind Gateshead stadium is a full running track and the stalls didn't even cover the 100m sprint!
The were about 3 catering vans that supplied food, one of which ran out of food at about 3ish. The event organisers must have known how many tick*ts were sold on the website and should have informed all the stalls how busy it was going to be.
Will definitely not be coming here again for this event

Review of Gateshead Stadium Indoor & Outdoor Christmas Market
After pre booking my tick*t I turned up at the venue. The queue was winding three times and there were people waiting who hadn't pre booked. I asked a member of the staff if there was a fast track entry for the event but told no, everyone had to wait in the queue! What was the point of booking then!! The queue was going to take over an hour to get in and as I was on crutches I decided to leave. From what I've read since there was far too many people inside and you couldn't check out the stalls properly. Very few people were coming out with bags of shopping.
A very poorly organised event and I won't bother with any after this fiasco! 😡🤬

Review of Gateshead Stadium Indoor & Outdoor Christmas Market
It was really busy. There was loads of confusion over whether you needed a tick*t to get in or not. Stood queuing for an hour then wasn't even asked for a tick*t. Parking was poor and not signposted well. Wasn't too impressed with variety of stalls either

Review of Gateshead Stadium Indoor & Outdoor Christmas Market
Queues were horrendous, lots of stalls mostly selling overpriced Christmas 'tat' or stuff that was not seasonally related. No Christmas atmosphere at all. Definitely lots of scope for improvement. I wouldn't go again.

Review of Gateshead Stadium Indoor & Outdoor Christmas Market
When I first arrived at 11am car park was bedlam. Looked at stalls outside first then went to look inside. Stood on along queue outside tk be told this was exit only and to go around the front. Waited in another long queue before getting inside. I feel thee shoukd have been signs to say where to go or someone to help. Alot of angry people and this could have been avoided.
When leaving carpark was a nightmare to get out. Would benefit from parking attendants

Review of Gateshead Stadium Indoor & Outdoor Christmas Market
The place was too overcrowded and really bad organised. People was advised to get a time tick*t that then were not needed but everyone turned up at the same time. Very limited parking spaces. Little food stalls despite advertising a lot of them. Several crafts not related to Christmas mark*ts. Would not recommend or would go again.

Review of Gateshead Stadium Indoor & Outdoor Christmas Market
Poorly organised, we ordered tick*ts for a 1-3pm slot arrived at 12.30 as we saw how big the queue was, it wasn't managed at all and was a free for all . After queuing for over an hour the side gates were opened and those who had waited less than 10 minutes were granted access into the event as the queue was crazy, and those like ourselves who had been waiting were told to continue to wait. 1.55 we gained entrance to the event and by 2.15 we were back in our car - absolute waste of time. Some lovely stalls but it was so busy you couldn't even get close them to buy anything
Needs to be better organised
