Athletics Event Reviews

Fantastic. A great night all around, but Faith Kipyegon breaking the world record was the obvious highlight. A fabulous crowd with plenty of knowledgeable 'tifosi'.

The athletics, the event and venue were great. The crowd was fantastic.

The only improvement I would make is the entrance process at the first gate could have been better organised because too many people tried to enter the stadium at once.

The athletics itself was amazing but entry into the ground was chaotic. Also, no access to toilets or water inside and not allowed to take in bottled water. After going to the World Cup and the tennis it was disappointing

I experted more stars and level but it was cool

Event staff very helpful both inside the venue and outside giving directions. Prepaid for parking which was easy and right on the doorstep of the venue.

If I do have some advice it's of a personal experience. I am not a great fan of smelling fried foods and which I now realise that this is a problem for me going into an indoor Athletics meet where spectators eat in the arena whilst watching the events it became overpowering and I left before the end .So if anyone does have any food allergy or dislike maybe it's something to consider.

Attended the athletics on 7-8 -22 (am) after paying £125 per ticket , we were on the back straight , was most disapointed with our view as couldn't see start or finishes of races as big screens not good enough . If you are going to charge big prices for seats @ least check out the views & improve the big screens . That said organisation on the day was outstanding !!!

Cramped seating. Very poor toilets for women

Great Program with wonderful presentation. A truly fantastic athletic experience

The organizarion was great, all ontime,

I had a good time. Only one thing is wrong was getting tickets to the event.

Just back from first day of Commonwealth Games athletics. Although we paid £50 each for our seats the view of the events from block 126 was very poor.Everything seemed to be happening on the other side of the arena. Even the large screens had light fittings blocking part of the view! Info screens for the field events were also difficult to see and very confusing when TWO groups were competing in the same event e.g. long jump. Also as several events took place at the same time it was not possible to show every thing we could not see on the large screens.

On the whole we would have been better saving our money and watching it on TV.

This is a great shame as we have attended many events at the Alexander in the past and always enjoyed them. This unfortunately was poorly planned from a spectators point of view made worse because we were allocated seats and so had no chance to obtain the view we would have liked.

Great value sport and entertainment and seeing the best UK athletes

Would it be too much to ask to show video clips of Pre on the big video board. To keep his memory alive. The meet is on his memory!!!

Attended the Muller Diamond League event in Birmingham a few years ago and was so impressed! The main parking was really well organised and didn't take too long to enter or leave which was relieving as we've had that problem at other sports events. Security checked bags on the way in but it was very quick and again organised well with really friendly staff. Seats were easy to find as the stadium isn't huge but this means you get good views of most events wherever you sit. There is a big screen if you're not quite on the finish line. We can't wait to return and see the stadium now that it's been done up!

I actually stumbled across the marathon on my way to a job interview... ended up running alongside it when I realised how late I was! Overall it was a great atmosphere, lots of people dressed up and running for a great cause! I think I'll enter next year.

Been to British Athletics Champs a few times in the past and it's always a really great event filled with non-stop action. Really worth going even if you're new to athletics events
