The Co-op Live Arena

[meeesh]

Pet Shop Boys in Liverpool last year was brilliant. Much better than I expected. How long did the queue to get in take?

Took me and Mrs around 15 mins tops to get in

Are their cloakrooms/ somewhere to leave my coat. I try and not take many things to gigs, but can’t chance the weather.

Sorry, another question for those who’ve been already.

I paid a little extra and bought my daughter ‘Backstage Club Access’

It’s a bit unclear on the website. It mentions using ‘Entrance G ‘ But does anybody know if this is an actual dedicated access from the street, or just the entrance to that section once you’ve queued to get in the standard entrance and got inside?

Hi. We were entrance F for pet shop boys. Entrance G was next to us on Alan Turing side of arena., no queues for G at all., clearly a bit more exclusive, no idea though what happens once you are in though

£8.95 it is that’s more like 9 not 8!

OK, poster above said 8 but either way I not be buying many in there. Don't mind spending on a night out but that's just mad money for a beer. Cheeky fuckers.

It is but they way I view it is that id be paying £6 in Manc city Centre so whilst its an absolute rip off, its a £2 premium. Having said that, if it’s as rank as the crap they serve in the stadium i won’t be impressed. What’s the choice in there?

We got there about 8pm and pretty much straight in.

That’s really helpful. Thanks.

Probably because not many can find the G spot??

Well I’ll give a Like anyway Rick, as no one else is.

At entrance G they scan the Backstage Club Access ticket and you get a wristband. Then you’re through the doors to where you scan the ticket for your seat. After that it’s the security and you’ll be straight in to Backstage Club.

Doors open an hour before the other entrances (10 minutes late when we went!) and you can also go back in for an hour afterwards. That was great as it meant no queues at all for the tram when we came out.

Going on Friday for James, some helpful posts in here thanks. £8 a pint, good drink in town earlier seems best bet.

Going to that too with my two lads and our plan is the same; beers and food in town before going in!

Thanks. It was for tonight actually. All seemed to go well beforehand at least. Straight in and there was a drink included in the price, so that probably covered about half the price, knowing how much they charge for drinks in these places.

Just waiting to hear she’s got back ok now.

 

[Stuuuuuu]

Buzzing about James on Friday. Still out there on their own as far as live acts go.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Smashing pumpkins and weezer tonight!

 

[Stephen230]

Was the experience worth it? Was getting away after the concert efficient?

My daughter went last night and said getting the tram back to town was a piece of piss.

Said there was a fair queue when they got there but an Eccles double came in straight away, which cleared the platform and then five minutes later an Alti double pulled in and they got on that easy.

Was on the move back to town within about 20 minutes of the concert finishing she reckoned.

Can’t complain at that.

I've got tickets for Liam Gallagher on Sunday. Bought them through Ents24 but they're saying that the venue is issuing the tickets so I downloaded the Co-Op Live app and linked it to my Ticketmaster account but no tickets are showing yet. Is anyone else in a similar position?

I'm same but with gigsandtours and they haven't sent them yet, getting twitchy

 

[CTID1988]

How do they justify those prices. Im not buying a pint when its £8, make it £6 and I might have a couple

You will still buy a pint or two indoors it’s what we do lol
