We came to Edinburgh especially to see Young Fathers, seeing as it was the final date on their current tour, and a hometown gig. The venue is stunning, such a beautiful old theatre, and we were sat upstairs in the Grand Circle. We had a great view, and the sound was fabulous. The staff at the hall were all very friendly and helpful, and Young Fathers played an incredible set. All in all it was a terrific evening!

I sat at the back of the Grand Circle and feel that the leg room was too limited. I also found the atmosphere quite stuffy. Certainly, in the Grand Circle, there is a need for improved ventilation and a less crammed seating arrangement, not least as this area is recommended as the best choice and therefore is advertised with higher seating charges. The acoustics are good.

What a beautiful venue. Went for the first time for The Stranglers concert. Acoustics were great the band sounded amazing. We bought our tickets through ticket master. ( Be warned they don't know the venue!!) We were sitting in the gods, but the view was grand. Seats were comfortable enough but not much knee room. The venue was very clean and well maintained. There was a lift up to the upper circle but depending where your seats are you may have stairs to climb. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The toilets were very clean and modern. Bars on all levels too. Perfect!!

Despite being avid concert goers this is the first time at the usher hall. The venue is stunning. What made it extra special was when I needed help a couple of times, I was fortunate enough to meet John. He clearly makes customer service a priority Matter of fact, tells you how it is but all with your needs in mind. Every theatre should have a John!

Been here twice recently to see 2 different bands, first time standing, last time sitting in the circle. Both times absolutely fantastic experience. Beautiful building in a lovely area with great pubs and restaurants nearby as well as close to train station to get back to Glasgow. Venue itself is modern, clean and fit for the 21st century, unlike one in Glasgow I could mention. Multiple bars and toilets on every level, good choice of drinks, if a little pricey. Atmosphere inside amazing and great views either standing or seated. Been to many concerts over many years in several cities and this is hands down the best venue I have been in. Great overall experience and friendly security too.

Excellent venue for a concert, that is spacious with great acoustics and good transport links.Friendly staff with accessible amenities and plenty of nice restaurants close by for a pre concert meal Billy Joel Songbook concert was superb with first class musicians. We left in high spirits singing and dancing all the way home. Would highly recommend the venue and the musicians. First class entertainment
