Review of Gateshead Stadium Indoor & Outdoor Christmas Market
I never got to see the mark*t as we were stuck in the traffic queue for about an hour and a half only to be turned away when we finally got there as the venue was too full. It was badly organised and staff were extremely stressed. We decided to leave while still queuing as we had travelled over 50 miles to the event and wanted to do som**hing with what was left of our day.

Review of Gateshead Stadium Indoor & Outdoor Christmas Market
Booked tick*ts for event as disabled. Was told on arrival tick*ts or no tick*ts. Disabled or not still had to stand in a massive Q. So what was the point

Review of Gateshead Stadium Indoor & Outdoor Christmas Market
Music - what music. Venue - absolutely broke all health and safety rules withThe amount of people inside. Prices - free into venue but goods very expensive. Atmosphere what atmosphere. Sardines in a tin had more space. We queued for 25 mins and spent 20 mins in the venue. You are offering reimbursement for tick*ts in a draw. ......it was FREE. Living North is bigger and much better organised . Never again

Review of Gateshead Stadium Indoor & Outdoor Christmas Market
Absolutely shocking, organisation is non existent, no atmosphere, fun fare was a couple of rides may as well just went to the quayside mark*t, no wonder it's free would be a disgrace to charge people

Review of Gateshead Stadium Indoor & Outdoor Christmas Market
Absolutely appalling, no organisation.
As others report, no traffic management, gridlocked on road to venue.
Car parking atrocious, minimal direction from stewards.
Queue to get in far too long.
Closed until 1.30 due to over crowding.
We booked tick*ts in May 2024 showing time as 11am to 6pm.
Queuing with others with time slot tick*ts and others with no tick*ts trying to secure them whilst queuing.
We left before entering the event.
An hour travel each way.
45 mins to access car park from A19 access.
Advised at 12.30 we had an hour wait from our current position when the doors reopened at 1.30.
Noted people leaving the event had very few bags with them. Some children had chips on a stick bit that was it. If people had come out with bags we might have been tempted but everyone looked fed up and empty handed. Didn't get a festive feel.
Went to Metro Centre for lunch and shopping instead.
1 star all categories as can't post review without selecting som**hing but seriously needs to be zero.

Review of Gateshead Stadium Indoor & Outdoor Christmas Market
Parking was a nightmare, drove through the whole thing for there to be no parking and stewards only just starting to direct people as we left the car park at 11:10, however managed to get into back car park and walk through the back gate. No where near 200 stalls I'd say 80 at most and no variety there were at least 9 selling wax melts and 4 selling dog treats, need restricting by what the vendors sell as it was just repetitive. It was busy but you were able to walk around while we were there and there was some lovely stalls but no Christmas vibes and no Christmas stalls really, none selling tree decs, no local alcohols for gifts, not a lot of handmade and a fair few just flogging stuff they'd bought on temu.

Review of Gateshead Stadium Indoor & Outdoor Christmas Market
The event was badly organised. I do not understand why I had to book a space as no one checked our tick*ts.
The queue was huge, we waited an hour to gain entry.
There should be security asking visitors not to smoke while in the queue as visitors were smoking cigarettes and vaping around others and worst of all, around children. One little girl struggled to breathe and see when an adult blew a plume of smoke from a vape in to her face.

Review of Gateshead Stadium Indoor & Outdoor Christmas Market
Shockingly organised event. Over distributed tick*ts, no queue organisation, staff didn't know what was going on. Everyone felt the same. It also mentioned dog friendly on the Web link so people had dogs which they couldn't take in. Over a one hour queue to get into car park and then over an hour stood in the queue to even get into the venue, no room to move at all inside.

Review of Gateshead Stadium Indoor & Outdoor Christmas Market
No organisation no signs to let people no where to que for indoors resulting in very long waits and staff running around trying to sort things. Also tick*ts were never checked at all even to being told by staff they weren't needed
