Full Version: Earls Court
Basically as the title says. Whats the capacity for Earl's Court?
I think it's about 18,000, and without doubt, the worst place to have gigs in.. 
Cheers, i never realised it was that big!
That venue is fucking massive, 18,000 sounds about right me thinks.
whell were on the subject how big is ULU?

The Ulu is a wicked Venue, I have no idea really but a rough guess would be about 400-500

Never been to Wembley Arena then, Tony? Shithole. Granted, Earls Court is too big for a decent atmosphere, but it has just a tiny bit more 'character' than Wembley. What a dump

and EC also has far, far, far better acoustics than Wembley Arena (you don't get that horrible constant echo for a start).
In all honesty, I'd say that EC does comapre fairly well to other venues of similar capacity. The problem is more that theres not too many bands who can carry a show in a large arena.

that's true. I think if a band is popular enough to fill Wembley then they're probably popular enough to go close to filling Earls Court too though. I do prefer EC by a long way. Much better just as a general venue too. More space both inside and outside the auditorium area and they make you feel more welcome. Wembley is the battery farm of London venues. F**king crap.

I don't mind Wembley.
I've seen Muse and The Offspring there and both times had a pretty good time, especially Muse. Seeing Beasties there too soon, and I think it's generally a reasonable venue. Nowt great, but pretty good

No, I'm sorry but I know it's four months since the last post on this topic, but I must insist that Wembley Arena is shit.
I saw Muse at Wembley last year, it was amazing, and the fact it was on such a grand scale made it spot on. Even if the venue is gash
