Genting Arena

Been here many times and for a number of shows, tonight I saw Fleetwood Mac here. The directions leading up to the arena are not very clear and it is quite easy to lose your way. The staff are helpful and the choices of food and drink is very good. The prices for them however are extortion! However I guess you come to expect that at arenas like this.

Llevo tres años viniendo es septiembre al Games Day y me parece un centro muy bueno. Amplio, cómodo, variado para comer, limpio.

Slipknot V Slayer.
I was 9.
This is a big deal to any angry little metal kid and also my first time at the NEC! How excited i was and i had no idea what to expect at all going in. Just the outside of the building was insane how big it was, it never seemed to end.
The lighting and sound during concerts is great, manned by a great team of not only people with creative flare, but a world renowned technical knowledge of the lastest live audio and visual technology.
You can see some of the biggest acts in the world here, or just stroll down during one of the many niche events they hold, such as the clothes show live or focus on imaging.
Ticket prices depend on the act your watching but never seem above the odds.

I have been to big exhibition centres in Brazil before but I have to admit that NEC Arena is quite impressive, starting with the easy access to the facilities, since it’s connected to the Birmingham International airport and Birmingham International train station.
Foreigners and residents can attend fairs, conferences and any events held there without concerning about being lost.
Even if you don’t live in Birmingham, there are several options of motorways that take you straight to it. Offering a vast list of hotels (for all pockets) around the complex, it’s also tempting to spend a night there without worry about driving back home.
Inside the NEC Arena the perspective is also positive. I could get lost easily inside this giant space if it wasn’t the help of the signs and indications found in the whole place.
There are vending machines, cash points, café chain, pub and even a prayer room in in the complex.
The car parking can be very salty (usually £8), one more reason to not drive when visiting it. This giant venue has a large calendar of events and the best way of being informed about all them is visiting the NEC website.

After recently attending the BodyPower exhibition at the National Exhibition Centre, I can safely say that the three day event was one of the best experiences of my life.
Organised by Pioneer Shows, the expo was a huge success, welcoming thousands of people from Friday through til the Sunday.
As holder of a press pass, the access provided by the company at the actual NEC was brilliant, with some of the best treatment courtesy of Pioneer Shows.
The huge unit is the perfect accommodation for an array of exhibitions, housing several subways, although sold at slightly excessive rate.
Despite this, the NEC holds more positives than negatives, with its perfect location literally on the door step of Birmingham International train station.
The countless halls provide perfect shelter for the various shows held at the same time. Overall, a well ran unit, in a brilliant location.
