According to the City guy, they keep the majority of the profit from the bars and concessions. All built into the price of the venue.

Fair enough, I was going of how promoters work for outdoor gigs at venues like parks Country houses, and such.

Way off topic. Villa are expanding Villa Park to 50,000, even though they don’t fill the current capacity which is 43,000. Villa it done in before the UEFA Euro 2028.

Digital replica of Co-op Live music venue strikes the right chord

If you go to a live music event today, there’s a strong chance the stunning visuals you’ll experience are powered by a game engine. Many live event producers incorporate real-time CG into their shows, whether it’s DeadMau5’s live-rendered visuals or ABBA’s digital avatars belting out the hits.

But beyond the performance itself, what may come as a surprise is that a game engine could have also played a part in the design of the venue you’re standing in.

Co-op Live is one such arena. With a vision to rival New York’s Madison Square Garden as one of the world’s premier music and entertainment venues, the project is nothing if not ambitious.

Unlike almost all other large arenas, the venue was designed with music at the forefront. It will include smart ‘bowl’ design and cutting-edge technology that elevates the artist and fan experience. The marketing brochure says it will be the most advanced, sustainable, and socially responsible live entertainment arena in the UK.

Clearly, this is a project with innovation at its core. For Soluis, the visualization studio tasked with bringing the unfinished project to life for stakeholders, it presented a challenge. How do you convey the size, magnitude, and uniqueness of a project like this, before the building is anywhere near final completion?

On the subject of transport infrastructure, I live in Cleckheaton where we have had no public transport for 4 weeks now due to the Arriva strike. Not that you will see owt on the news mind as it doesn't impact on London. Someone posted this which shows that if I'd been alive in 1910 I could have got into Leeds in 34 minutes. Bit quicker than that Arriva bus I normally get! 20220628_174310.jpg

All here.

Quite ambitious.

I like the Villa Live concept. An indoor City Square.

Off topic I know but what a mess the MEN website is. I can’t read articles on my mobile as it’s a constant fight to scroll down (the pages seem to keep reloading and jumping back upwards), my thumb is getting RSI. Then there’s popups and stupid ads.

It's utter shite! Been like that for years. Nothing but ads. I gave up reading the MEN website years ago. I honestly don't know how many people/readers bother with it. If I was looking to place an ad in it, I wouldn't bother. The online traffic/clicks must be sh*t.

420 Tunnel club season tickets would bring in as much as 10000 level 2 tickets and SS3 get cheaper as you get further from the pitch.

I get that they won't visit the shop but City make more from the summer concerts at the bar than during the season. The guy who ran the catering said they made 20% more than the whole season at the Take That concerts a few years back and I doubt Liam Gallagher or Ed Sheeran fans were tea total this year.

If they want to make money reduce the number of season tickets and charge standard matchday prices like the dippers. Let the non-renewers seats be available on a match by match basis, that'll double the income from the seat.

Make the non family, family stand people move into the general population, that'll be another chunk of cash and manage the stand for the younger fans to attend.

They can make more money if they want to, Corporate might be a lesser evil

For Take That they sold more Champagne than for any other event at the stadium due to the demographic of the audience.

I currently live around 5 miles from Ferrybridge and when I was in the army, coming from Catterick to Manchester on a Friday, you knew you were near the M62 when you saw the cooling towers…the last ones were demolished a couple of months ago, so there’s no landmark there now…happy memories…

Done a couple of times there and I used to see the towers until the M1 was extended the they were gone. Not sure if it was the motorway that saved me half hour or the car that I was in.
 
For Magic Weekend there was no one using the bars due to the horrific pricing and the possibility of getting pass outs.

It seems a different set up depending on the event, or at least used to be, different stuff on sale (even less choice) and add a quid to everything at least.
