No thanks.

It is workable, O2 do it in their venues, SSE Hydro customers get it at the Glasgow Hydro, I'm sure CO-OP members will get something similar. It's a great idea for those that would use it. For those that wouldn't then don't use the option.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.
If this was ever going to happen wouldn't city have already tried it with the concerts at the Etihad?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.
IndeedNo thanks.

O2 don’t give out unlimited free tickets to all of their customers, which is what I think the OP was suggesting?It is workable, O2 do it in their venues, SSE Hydro customers get it at the Glasgow Hydro, I'm sure CO-OP members will get something similar.

Not what he was suggesting I don't think, guaranteed tickets was what he said so I presume priority booking, maybe with some kind of VIP longe or added extras.O2 don’t give out unlimited free tickets to all of their customers, which is what I think the OP was suggesting?
O2 have a presale through their mailing list as part of their sponsorship with the Academy Music Group.
I do business with them all the time.
A blanket allocation to City would be a nightmare.
Anyway this is a pointless discussion as it’s not even rumoured to be happening and is purely in the hypothetical. I’m off for a pint in the sun!
Ah, apologies for misreading it then.Not what he was suggesting I don't think, guaranteed tickets was what he said so I presume priority booking, maybe with some kind of VIP longe or added extras.
