We left early as were dissapointed with the sound, cramped conditions and price of snacks ... Only a few oldies were played and lot of new unknow tracks. Waste of money.

Hmmm I was pretty disappointed with the concert, the sound was bad, Suggs voice was drowned out alot of the time and finaly they played way too many "non-greatest" hits songs and covers.
I saw them at Broadlands in the summer and they were 100% better.

Ok

The BIC is drafty and cramped!

POSITIVES POINTS ARE THE CONVENIENT PARKING AND QUITE ROOMY SEATING.

NEGATIVE POINTS - THE PRICE OF REFRESHMENTS AND THE QUEUES TO GET THEM!!!!

Very good building. Plenty of room. easy parking close by. Bar just outside the door of the auditorium (but still inside the building).
Sound not perfect but then we were up in the wings.

The Bournemouth International Centre (or BIC for short) calls itself “one of the most prestigious venues…with some of the best facilities on England’s sunny south coast.” It certainly looks impressive – an imposing building brightly shining like a Christmas tree amongst the shadows of the sleeping Winter Gardens. Stepping inside the main foyer was quite remarkable too – the place was swarming with people, bu to the credit of the BIC, it appeared very well organised. Once you’d passed the hordes of giggling nutters who had just purchased an extortionately overpriced, yet undeniably fetching t-shirt, your ticket was torn and on you went. The gig was held in the vast Windsor Hall, which provided both loads of standing space at the front and then rows of raised, tiered seats. Outside the hall was a nice bar area, where it was possible to sit and ogle at the masses of people coming in.
