Wouldn’t bother me right, but it does & I don’t care if I’m petty or whatever “bigger person” has got to say, but….

Rifles acoustic last night. Christmas jumper night, which is sad as fuck anyway. Guitar player had a black & white Newcastle Christmas jumper on. Stop f***ing licking peoples arses. Kick football out of music. f***ing crap.

Instead of letting people go to your designated area like every gig I've ever been to, they bottlenecked the entire arena into one massive queue that snaked backwards and forwards like you were queuing for the pepsi max at blackpool, that stretched the length of the area, back on itself and went all the way back to halfway down the Etihad. There was no control, no signage, nobody knew where they were going and there was one poor cow with a loudhailer trying desperately to direct thousands of people, half of which were just ignoring her. I went to a gig at the other arena in the summer and was in within minutes, last night it took about an hour from getting to the venue to getting in, all in the pissing rain. We arrived about 7pm, so maybe get there earlier (although he didn't get on stage until 8:15).

We walked there and back from Ancoats Travelodge which to be honest isn't that bad a walk.
I think a lot of the issues last night were down to the secretive nature of the Arena itself as to what time he was actually onstage.
There'd been no mention of a support act until the day when they announced "Paul McCartney Support" would start at 7.00 with no mention of PM's stage times, so I think lots of folk, myself included decided to get down there for 7 just in case we missed something (deep down I KNEW he'd not be on until later). I saw The Eagles there earlier in the year and the Q's were nowhere near as long. Last night we headed to the closest queue to our block then waited it out, we got there around 6.30 and probably waited around 20-30 mins to get in. The "support" was a DJ playing Beatles songs. When he left they continued to play songs over the speaker system and you'd not have known any difference, just a cynical move by the Arena to get people in and spending money really. PM came on stage around 8.15.
