I went to Coopers Brewery to see Elton John. We got there when about two thirds of the people had already arrived, so had to look for quite a while to find a parking space. The venue itself does not have parking but you can park at Tafe SA just opposite or you'll just have to drive around in one of the side streets (like we did) and walk for a while.
Organisation was very good as it took us less than a few minutes to get past people who checked our tickets and bags. Once inside the open-air venue, we didn't have any difficulties finding a good spot because the area is a little bit hilly and you can at least get a good view of the screen from no matter where you stand. I really liked the arrangement of the stage and the different sitting/standing areas.
There were plenty of food and drink stalls, however, before the gig you had to wait for at least 20 minutes to get either of the two. It was a bit of a pain, especially with the drink stalls and a lot of people serving beer and wine just seemed to be in no rush at all. During the gig itself it was fine, but just 1 1/2 h after it started all they had left was beer in cans. Mind you, we were at a brewery!
Overall, I had a great experience at Coopers Brewery. It wasn't overcrowded, the concert started on time and pretty much everything was catered for. I'd definitely go back for another concert. read more
