Toronto's Least Accessible Concert Venues

In addition to having generally awful sound quality, layouts and crowd control, these four venues are notoriously hard to get to by public transit. Before you click "buy tickets", have a long, hard think about what you're about to commit to, mmkay?

Congrats to Arrow Hall for getting my vote for worst concert venue in the city (although it's technically in Mississauga).
