Scored last minute tickets to see Cigarettes after Sex and WOW what a beautiful venue…read more
A small intimate venue that opened in 1878 with a capacity of about 3500 spectators. Once served as the only permanent circus in Belgium, as well as nautical shows and even a cinema, it's now mainly used for live music shows.
The venue is comprised of 3 levels, Upper concourse, Lower concourse, and Floor. Tickets were sold as general admission with a designated level but never saw anyone enforcing any of the seating. Don't get any funny ideas, haha, I only mention this because it's fascinating how the venue pretty much runs on the honor system, a system that would never work here in America. The floor would be saturated with upper level ticket holders at the Forum or Madison Square Garden, just saying.
Another fascinating system is the way you buy beer. They have a token system in place that requires 1 or 2 tokens per beer, depending on the beer which makes for a faster transaction and shorter wait time. Well done.
By far one of the most beautiful venues I've ever been to,
