good bands come here but it is a really bad venue . They illegally accessed my camera looking for footage to delete . security are tense . they interrupted my show with Karnivool to stop me filming , despite many others filming . after the show the manager and security were waiting at the entrance to harass me to delete footage , even lying saying the band requested it though Karnivool had nothing to do with this . they claimed my cam was professional equipment but would not say why , a 720p handycam from 2010 . also accused me of copyright infringement , despite that the whole show was being recorded by higher quality cameras and phones in the audience . they berated and tried to intimidate me to delete footage cause they said they looked for it and couldn't find it , accusing me of switching sd card . the security claims she gave my info to police despite them being the ones who commited a crime . they would not clarify what makes my camera not allowed , as i had followed the rules , they said they can enforce arbitrary rules so then how are u supposed to know what's allowed ? spent over $200 for me and my gf to have a good time and they kinda ruined it for no good reason . I'll follow through with a complaint and attempt to get my money back or some kind of recompense . I've been to heaps of shows here , it is dark grimy nasty biker place . if there is a fire i bet they would not be able to...
Read moreOdeon HOBART hosted an evening with Bob Geldof. What surprised me was that Sir Bob - a good Irishman - accepted the knighthood but I digress. What also surprised me was that Bob graced Hobart with his presence. The Odeon is a quaint venue and a far cry from Live Aid and the huge crowds. But here we were far from the madding crowd with a true legend of the 70’s and 80’s music era. Bob has an ease and a style that overtakes you and wraps you in his wonderful stories. He is a giant in his field and personifies the term connector.He opens doors, opens minds and hearts and has made a lasting impression on the world. And did on me last night. The night was a joyous sometimes melancholic rambling through his life. In short it was,as a friend said to me, a privilege. When someone shouted “what can we do in Tasmania to make a difference” A particularly laconic Bob replied don’t ask me I just did what I could and so should...
Read moreI booked 4 tkts in May for My young daughter a huge bon Jovi fan as a late birthday surprise and tkts for her best friend her aunt and I to see Rob mills perform Bon Jovi songs on the 30th August. Meanwhile I had been very ill with a hearing problem. I didn't think I'd be allowed in as the way I walked was like I was drunk. Yet outside at the start the staff were SO kind as well as inside the venue even letting us go out the side with no steps. Nothing was too much trouble for them. My daughter her eyes lit up at being at her 1st 'Bon Jovi' concert. Rob mills was awesome and we had one of the best nights ever! The drinks were pretty cheap, the food was nice. I would recommend the Odeon to anyone who wants a Awesome night out and where fun and safety for all sorts of people...
