It would be the most oversubscribed in history mate. A little like Club Wembley? Glasgow Hydro does similar VIP membership they call it. I don’t know how much it costs exactly but for sure it’s many multipliers of £50.We all know City come up with some great ideas ;-) to squeeze that little bit extra out of City fans. A Platinum Season Ticket being just 1 example of many.(of many)
If City introduced a season ticket add-on for the 2023/24 season costing £50 extra, similar to the platinum season ticket add-on, which guaranteed you a ticket regardless of the concert, artist, group or event at the Coop Live Arena, would you be tempted to opt in on your season ticket?
The Coop Live Arena is planned to open in December 2023.
I would.

Would you get a refund if was just crap boy bands and ed bloody Sheeran ?
Manchester has wanted to build up leisure and entertainment east of town for years, but the failure of the super casino plan clipped the wings a bit. Co-op Live seems to revive that plan, so it’s not difficult to imagine that there will be more football/leisure cross promotions and deals, especially with CFG being major investors and people being brought in from Arsenal and Rags to work on it. Tourists get to see Killers gig and City at the same time. Maybe ST holders and Cityzens get discounts off boxing, UFC, High Flying Birds or whatever. The Glazers have been buying up land around OT as well so you can imagine a point where there’s more leisure and sport integration to the west of town as well. I live in bandit country and you can see the potential for it. People streaming in not just for Rags and test cricket/twenty twenty but gigs and runs too, brownfield land which could end up being CPO’d for hotels etc.

This is completely unworkable as every concert has a different deal structure. Artists are often paid a guaranteed fee + a percentage of ticket income, which varies from show to show.
Offering ‘guaranteed‘ tickets to a gig for city season ticket holders is a financial and admin nightmare and the venue, promoters and artist agents have nothing to gain from it.

The logistics would take some working out but not difficult to imagine Orlando/Vegas type packages."Tourists get to see Killers gig and City at the same time"

On the OPs original question I’ll defer to others better informed on whether that would work exactly as proposed, but if I had an ST would I consider paying a bit extra for some kind of deal on another event? Yeah, possibly. I mean Platinum doesn’t make sense to some of us, but obviously there’s a market it for it somewhere, as there is for every up-sell.

Victoria Warehouse has been scooping up some of the biggest mid-size bands over the past five years, and now has its own tram stop as well. Which is a real shame imo opinion because a) the venue is fucking shite, one of the worst in the country b) it means I have to get a tram out of the city and c) it means I need to see that shit hole every time.Manchester has wanted to build up leisure and entertainment east of town for years, but the failure of the super casino plan clipped the wings a bit.

Ha. I don’t think the council would be heartbroken if this trend continues. They seem to see a more residential future for the city centre, somewhere with enough entertainment people, preferably higher rate council tax payers can walk to, but not so much that they are put off from staying there. Twenty years ago it would have been unthinkable that the likes of Pep and several of our players would be based in town, but they are now. As the true centre becomes more residential and desirable to live in, ‘town’ will push out of the inner ring road.Victoria Warehouse has been scooping up some of the biggest mid-size bands over the past five years, and now has its own tram stop as well.
