Wheelchair accessible area, plenty of legroom. Situated on the balcony next to the stage. View isn't the best, the cables for the sound systems and lighting hang in the way and there is only a partial side view of the stage.
I was able to get a good view but I recommend the very top balcony,although you pay for seats you are not likely to get seats it also got packed quick so not many people on balcony were able to see
I was on both barrier and second row on the left side for reference, as I had early entry from VIP, but because the venue is small your view will be great wherever.
Arrived at 6:40pm and managed to get barricade, despite it being as side on as is possible which did lead to obstruction, couldn't see backdrops. Awful queuing system to get into the venue though on this day, doors opened 7pm and we got inside at 7:58pm…
Good view, but slightly obstructed view of the stage! The seats fill up quickly so I'd advise getting there 30mins/1hour before doors if you need a seat. It gets very busy in the standing section, if you want to guarantee a seat, get Upper Balcony.

Great view of the stage, but security didn't allow anyone to stand up.
The balcony area is all unreserved seating on wooden benches, not very comfortable

Section Unreserved Lower Balcony
Best view you can get seated, right on the corner on the front row. Incredible view, lots of interaction with the artist!
