The Co-op Live Arena

[jma]

I told them not to put City’s ticket office in charge of organising the opening night

Just been to Rick Astley there in the opening test event. Bit underwhelmed to be honest. Very rushed and snagging on a par with the south stand. Also doesn’t feel as big as the arena. Think the capacity being higher must be due to the wider standing capacity?

Isn’t the point of it for it to feel more intimate for the concert goer?

Will judge it more next time I go but as I said very underwhelmed first impression. Standard of finish was appalling. Organised chaos as well.

Greatest ????

not sure about tht, she is a talent and vocally brilliant, but doubt she would get near top 100 in contributions to music through history

We'll see I guess. Perhaps (as she sings herself) we already have her best, but I reckon "Sour" is a perfect album that'll be played in 50 years time; "Guts" is only let down by the abominable "Lacy" but "The Grudge" is incredible.

The creator of two of the greatest albums ever made.

Still no way I was paying £200 for a ticket, mind.

I’m guessing you haven’t listened to much music.

Isn't that why it was a test event

 

[Blackley_Blue]

Seen a few videos floating around from the test event.

Parts of it look shocking and dangerous. Wires on show everywhere, sharp edges on metal trunking, doors missing, customers having to step over electric cables cos it looks like the whole things being run on extension leads.

I posted in the other thread last week that I'd been speaking to a guy who's firm had been subbie'd on at the last minute and he told me there was no way it'd be ready.

Be some sort of package deal soon, £1000 for a meal in the city centre restaurant, a matchday ticket then entry to Chas and Dave (or whoever is popular in the hit parade nowadays) at the Co-op arena

Half and half scarves available too

I’m surprised that so many are shocked at the cost of food and drinks at the new venue. This seems to be the case at places like this all the time.

I went to a theatre in York 3 years ago and got charged nearly £20 for a pint of IPA and a glass of wine!

 

[hammocity]

I guess City fans get the use of the club car parks. It's going to be chaos surely

PS who is Olivia Rodrigo ?

She’s the Vera Lynn of her generation, the former probably being one of your favourites you out of touch FOC :-).

Sounds like a bit of a shambles at the moment and behind schedule.

Meant to be getting a ppv ufc event at some point this year.

Silver lake bought the company that owns UFC and WWE so I expect we will see their UK events visiting over the years

A gig a week, mate. 3,000 vinyl albums all styles. Good job we're allowed to be different innit.

The latest kiddy teeny pop sensation. Actually she has a broader audience than that in fair. My daughter is 21 and loves her.

"But the little girls understand" as The Knack so eloquently wrote in 1979.
