Helsinki Hall of Culture — Attraction in Helsinki sub-region

I've seen a few stand-up shows here, which were really fun with good acoustics.

The bouncers are very strict here, it's not allowed to take your jacket with you to your seat. It is mandatory to give your jacket to the cloak room, which costs extra and is not included in the ticket price.

There are very few restrooms available at the premises, so expect long cues just before the show, especially in the ladies line.

This location is pretty central in Helsinki, public parking and parking spaces are almost non existent, hence I recommend to arrive by public transport.

It is also advised to arrive well in time, as the cues outside trend to be rather long and slow when checking the tickets of all guests.

The place itself is not bad. Convenient transport interchange. Polite cashiers and administrator. But the guards are simply terrifying. They spoiled the whole mood. The guard reached into the purse with his hand and touched all personal belongings. They have flashlights, it was possible not to touch personal things with your hands. He may have diseases or simply dirty hands. Especially now there are many viruses Then the same security guard came and started to transfer us, although we were sitting in the seats according to the tickets. The whole mood was ruined. I never want to go back to this place. Also, in the wardrobe, they charge €3 per person, even from small children, but they still hang things on one hanger. They also carry clothes on the...
