Not seen how much we made out of the 8 night Take That residency in last years accounts but Sunderland announced a profit of about a £1 million a night for Take That / Kings of Leon in 2010. We're a bigger venue so this year Coldplay & Springsteen should bring us in more than that.
How come?
I know that there is very little to choose in the capacity of the stadia for matchday's in fact theirs is slightly larger iirc, so how come our is larger for concerts?

He said that season tickets are selling like hot cakes and that there has been a lot of interest in season tickets from people with no history to the club, ie gloryhunters- his words. I said that they need to make the place bigger to which he said that they make lots of money from these concerts and there is talk of robbie williams doing a few concerts there next summer so doesn't see it happening the end of next season either. I'm sure he isn't privvy to decisions made at the top so all I am doing is relaying my conversation .
Waited for this for years, ever since Mork and Mindy have i wanted to see him, bonus that it is at gods garden.

For concerts apparently Sunderland keep it to 50,000 according to their website while we're happy to wedge in 60,000 as often as possible

And it would hurt that French **** Platini !
