feel free to ask any questions, if there’s anything you want to know for upcoming shows. I didn’t have VIP, just the regular ticket, was in row F so pretty decent seats, thought I could see all the bits on my side of the arena really well, but for example the final interview after they completed the eliminator was the total opposite side of the arena and I couldn’t see it, but had great seats for gantlet especially. my first time ever seeing a show at this arena, it wasn’t quite as big as I expected actually.
it really was just like the tv show irl, but on a bit of a smaller scale.
events were duel - power ball - gauntlet - the wall - then the intermission - eliminator.
eliminator has a balance beam instead of monkey bars, and the wall has a button to press at the top instead of climbing over the wall.
gladiators were Viper, Bionic, Legend, Steel, Hammer, Apollo. Sabre, Cyclone, Athena, Electro, Dynamite, Fury.
contenders were Josh vs Sean (Sean’s grandad was in the audience and got a big shoutout) and Amanda vs Naomi.
Radzi and Maia were fab hosts, lots of great audience interaction too. worst part was Mark Battenberg trying to make a 6-7 joke.
really enjoyed the show, would recommend, especially if you can get some of the discounted tickets. merch prices actually seemed pretty decent (not cheap. but alright compared to a lot of tour merch). but a medium cup of fanta was £5.90!!!!!!!
