Performance let down by SECC's poor organisation

The excellent Andre Rieu concert last Friday at the SECC in Glasgow was badly affected by the lack of audience management and completely unacceptable seating for a 21st-century audience (Letters, December 10).

The first half of the programme had to be stopped after 10 minutes to allow hundreds of people waiting outside to enter the venue, affecting the wonderful ambience of the event. To add to the misery, the same happened after the interval when the restart was delayed while audience members were again late taking up their seats, leaving the orchestra sitting on the stage trying hard to hide its amazement.
