Went to see James on Friday and agree it’s a brilliant venue to watch a gig. A couple of the fundamentals are still flawed, mainly the transport. Got the tram from St Peter’s Sq this time so did manage to get on, unlike most of the folk at Picc Gardens or Picc. Still sending singles, just like match day. Q to get in entrance D was 20 mins at 18.45, that particular entrance just doesn’t seem big enough for the numbers. Fortunately not raining much. Still not sorted the draught beer at some of the bars but I’m sure that will be sorted soon. As mentioned above though the prices are mindblowing, makes Wembley look reasonable! So people stay in town to drink, makes the team and Qs more congested. Pity the taxi rank and Uber pick up isn’t an option for match days. Overall it’s great of course but the transport issues won’t go away anytime soon

This area has Transport Hub written all over it , its next to the railway line and the road for bus access and multi storey car parks like this
Queueing for ages to get in to see James on Friday. Similar for toilets and drinks fro the standing, bit of a joke given all that has been spent on it. Couldn't fault the sound though.
Queuing is a National institution in the UK, it was part of the design remit ;)
There used to be a system in Paris for bus queues:
1. Get a free numbered ticket from a machine on the bus stop.
2. Go for a drink.
3. Come back to the stop when ready.
4. Get on the bus, lowest number first, in ticket order.
Brilliant! Is it still in operation?
It's not difficult is it ;)

The best Tram and Bus systems used are simply Tap on and Tap off for every journey, they have doors at the front middle and back of Trams and Buses and are fitted with multiple Tap on and off points on board, the driver just drives the Tram or Bus.
You would think that people not paying would be an issue and it is until they get caught, my Son got caught a few weeks back in Belgium and was fined 120 euros if he jibs again and gets caught the fine is doubled and after that they will prosecute.

Went on the Co-op site this morning to try to buy some Paul McCartney tickets…it was going well. Then I found out it was £552 for the cheapest tickets, best stall price is £1230 and dearest Circle is £11804!! Good job I wasn’t further up the queue!!
£552 for the cheapest ticket!
Either McCartney is taking the piss or the Coop Live Arena are?The prices for concerts are getting ridiculous and out of control.

Surely that was for resale tickets. I joined the queue at a similar number to yours, but left and joined the Sunday queue with approx 8K in the queue. Anyhow, decent seats for Sunday were £150. Still a lot but not too silly..

Not disputing what you are saying, but I think artists, their managers/promoters, and the owners of the arenas are constantly pushing ticket prices up because of the demand for tickets. It’s like estate agents with house prices. They keep on increasing house prices because of the demand for houses.
