Where is stalls standing at hammersmith apollo

Yep — ended up in the front row upstairs so seated. It was mayhem, but damn good! Considering Mr Johnson had his lung drained earlier that day — he did all right for an old fella….

ACDC was standing only a few years back Posted 8 years ago. Never sat,never will. This is not always the case, though, so check prices across all sections before you book. Rows E to M in the middle section of the Stalls offer excellent views that make this large venue feel surprisingly intimate. Rows B to F in the Circle also offer excellent views, from an elevated position that can reveal more of the stage.

Great view seeing Russel Howard! We had seats and all equally as good. Little far back but stage is so big didn't effect anything.

Not a big rake so can be a little obstructed if you had someone tall infront. Ok legroom but very very tight Guide dogs are welcomed in the venue, with advance notification. Sound: Like many of the old theatres and cinemas, the cavernous nature of the Apollo can sometimes render everything into an incredible sludge.

Really, you're dependent on the skills of whoever is at the mixing desk. There are no problems with volume — in fact, some gigs here can be punishingly loud points accusingly at Slayer. Where to stand: As ever with big venues, it's all about proximity to the stage. In the circle, if your tickets are more or less row N or further back, you're going to be a long way from the stage. In the stalls, you want to be out in front of the overhang of the circle — so ahead of row Y.

For standing shows, it's such a vast space that really it's about finding a space you're comfortable with. If you're in the middle, it's going to be an awful fuss getting out to either toilets or the bar. To get forward without being crushed, and to retain your access to the loos, it's worth trying to make your way down the sides. You will lose some visibility of the rear sides of the stage, but that's rarely a great loss.

Overall: This is one of London's historic venues, and one of its best preserved. On good nights, the atmosphere can be tremendous as the sea of standing fans generates a roar like a football crowd.

But it has its perils. It's big enough that young bands making their first step up to big rooms can seem lost on the stage. Conversely, though, it's an amazing room in which to see those acts who usually play much bigger spaces.
