Kulttuuritalo Concerts 2024-2025

I visited this place to see a stand up comedy. The seats are not very comfortable and there is not enough space between the rows for those with long legs. I did not like the fact that they had to search my bag and take my bottle of water. Also it is compulsory to leave the coat and pay while the venue is not too warm. I left the show a few minutes earlier to avoid the congestion in the cloak room.

Watched amazing Georgian dances! Curtains cutting the view at the sides of the main stage, no proper slope for the first ten raws of seats, people continuously changing seats to find better view, and uncomfortable old hard seats. They should not sell tickets at full prices for limited views. Also, inform about the limited view seats! Unnecessarily yelling at the customers in front of the cloakroom to form a line.

Spacious venue. I saw a mwtal gig. The place is unique for a metal gig in that it is white walled, making it occasionally very very bright, for a metal gig. Drink prices are definitely on the higher end.

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. In the foyer of the place you can buy drinks, alcohol and non-alcoholic to wait for the show. It is not permitted to take the drinks to the seats. All drinks must be left in the foyer.

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 dirty floor.
