I love going to the Symphony Hall, no matter where I have sat I've always had a good view of the stage and it has a great atmosphere :)

Internationally recognised as the best concert hall outside of London, the acoustics in this place are excellent and no matter where you sit, you're guaranteed a great view.

Its a very lovely hall and has great acoustics. Its a real pleasure to be there although it seems quite expensive to attend anything there.

I had never been here before, but to see OMD here was amazing. Well spaced seating, and very comfortable. The sound quality was fantastic, and the lightshow amazing. I would definitely come here again, and would recommend it to everyone!

Very nice venue, comfortable seats, decent legroom, great acoustics. Could do with signs to say that you can't take your refreshments into the auditorium.

Concert was fantastic and this is, in my opinion, the best venue in the midlands. Big enough to attract the best names and small enough to get a cracking view. Acoustics are perfect.

As an ex-Brummie, I am particularly proud of the efforts the City has made to carve out an enduring, friendly image. The Symphony Hall is a world class venue with brilliant acoustics. I do not like big arenas, so for a better experience would always favour the Hall.
