The Co-op Live, next to the Etihad.

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.

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

And flown in and out by drone

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.

Both Peter Kay gigs cancelled.

Sounds like the venue opening has been a total car crash.

The headline on the MEN article is misleading, the shows have been pushed back to next week rather than cancelled. Seemingly the arena isn't ready.

Yep this new fancy arena not off to a good start is it................

Hopefully not a sign of things to come with the North Stand development!
