Came to see Paul Smith at the beginning of February. Lovely arena. Great facilities. Really friendly staff who cannot do enough to help where they can. I had an issue on entering due to a medical condition and the staff were so accommodating and supportive, ensuring any potential further issue was dealt with immediately.

Fantastic arena! Very attractive design inside and out (much nicer venue than Leeds First Direct Arena) Clean and well maintained. Event staff were so friendly, efficient and helpful. Several bars and coffee/ snack ships inside. Car park is built directly underneath and adjacent to the arena, so very convenient to access straight from the parking area. Parking was super expensive though - £15 for 4 hours. Very much enjoyed the event here.

Venue is very good well thought out. The leg room on some of the seats looked a little small. I'm sure they are legal . View from upper circle was good nothing to spoil my view . The guy sitting in front of me was well over six foot old money and I could easily see over him. Lots of wheel chair spaces although I didn't see a lift I'm sure there were some. Trans gender toilet who knew they were a thing not me. Parking easy and close although rent a bit of concrete for £4 an hour is pretty steep although standard .

First time visiting and I'm impressed. Great view from anywhere due to seating design. Easy to get to, seats could be a little more comfy. Bar had free water, help yourself, at interval. Good night out

First visit to the Arena and sadly I don't think I'll be rushing back. A sunny Saturday night in Swansea, Kula Shaker and Ocean Colour Scene - both excellent and but watched most of KS and the beginning of OCS queuing at the bar! We queued from 7.50 til 9.25 getting drinks which is totally unacceptable. Only one bar open in the auditorium with 3 staff members working which was ridiculous. It has really put me off visiting for gigs in the future which is disappointing as the venue itself is very nice. I feel that bands who would usually play at St Davids Hall in Cardiff are now playing at Swansea due to that venue's temporary closure, so please Swansea Arena sort your staffing levels out according to the demand. Also recommend parking at Paxton Street open air car park. £5 for 24 hours pay by MiPermit app. Only 5 minutes walk away from the arena and probably cheaper than Copr Bay (Arena) car park and a faster exit.
