The Co-op Live Arena

People are very negative about this new place. Somebody did a facebook post about it on a Manchester page I follow.
Just about 95% slagging it off, (even though they've never actually been) the latest one was "I prefer to see a blues band in the back room of a pub with a 3 quid pint" got about a zillion likes.
Well if that's your thing then yeah, but it's not everybody's idea of going to a gig.

No-one is forcing anyone to go there. Surely if people don't go it will eventually close.

Interestingly one person who actually went said it was great, the staff were very friendly, a positive experience. But he got laughed at by many posters.

Why does the mentality of social media dictate that everything has to be a binary vote?
Why can you not enjoy a small club gig and a big enormodome gig at other times?

I don't get it, it's like people see this place as a personal afront to their humanity.

If it gives you the shits, just stay away. :)

I can explain how they get those prices, from how Im led to understand these things work. Note explain,not justify.So as I understand it-
The vendor will get the concession from the venue, they will work out what price they want to make a decent profit after costs,say for a pint around £6. The venue though will take around 25% + VAT. The vendor will charge a price that gives them their £6.
A pint sells for £9 the venue take 25 %+ VAT leaving the vendor with their £6.30.
Thequestion is should the venue be taking so much of a cut,it also applies to band merchadise,a T shirt selling for £40 the band will only get £27.50 of that.
From what I understand this is common in most UK venues,including O2 academies, less so in Europe.

Baffling you spend £365m on an arena and then hire out one of the main things that make money on to a vendor. Must work though as they all do it.

I love that they just warn you in advance that it’s going to be a total shit show, rather than, you know, doing something about it.
