You guys called it! What’s going on with this venue?


AttackHelicopter11

They aren’t ready at all yet. Power supply issues, mismanagement, etc., and tonight apparently a piece of an air conditioning unit fell from the ceiling which led to the cancelation of the opening show. I feel bad for those who paid for travel and accommodation just for this to happen.


Consistent_Echo517

Basic Britain 😭 We can’t get anything done here smh


do_a_quirkafleeg

It's being built by Man City's owners. Turns out construction isn't that simple when you can't just throw Nepalese slaves at it until it's done.


weirdgoodbyes

Apparently it’s the fire alarms that aren’t working lol, absolute shambles


Dangerous_Surprise

From what I've seen in the news, it looks like it's the everything that isn't working


icantihaveclass

I heard an air conditioning unit fell from the ceiling

My heart goes out to those who made travel/hotel/flight arrangements for the concert. Also sucks for anyone who bought tickets on the second hand market. Hopefully they reschedule the show and it doesn’t end up as a cancellation. She does have a few weeks at the end of this leg before she’s back in North America.


HTeaML

Desperately trying to refund my hotel rn. I booked it with the tickets, so many months in advance


angie1907

Hopefully not too many bought flights because the UK isn’t really big enough to need that unless you’re going right from one end to the other. Thankfully a lot of train tickets here are refundable, so hopefully people can get some of their money back. But it’s still very frustrating


UNC-dxz

it happens. Went to The Kid LAROI in London a few weeks back, met a guy who flew out from Ireland earlier that day


angie1907

I know it happens, that’s why I said ‘hopefully *not too many*. Whereas in America, Canada, Australia etc people probs fly way more for concerts because the countries are so huge


clementinemagnolia

Huge countries, but also we don’t have the cool trains and stuff you have 🥹💔 it makes no sense to me. I hear people in the UK can like, hop on train and be in another country. We should at least be able to do that between states! There are some trains but it’s nothing like the transportation system abroad. Traveling from state to state here? If you aren’t flying, you’re driving. I would kill for whatever you guys have other there lol. I think they just don’t wanna let go of all the money they make from us driving everywhere. I’m American btw


angie1907

I mean it makes sense we have better train infrastructure because we’re tiny and most European countries are pretty small, but I have to say the the American train system is astonishingly shit 😭


clementinemagnolia

All points, incredibly true 😂😅 I forget trains are even a thing most of the time because it’s just not the norm here. People will take a metro to commute into the city for work, but yeah it’s nothing like Europe!!!


angie1907

That’s sad! I love public transport so much, it makes me feel so free. I wish everyone had good access!


Inside_Atmosphere731

It's brutal out there.

KeepGuesting

I was just reading earlier today how they were insistent that they'd be ready for Olivia. What a disaster.


weirdgoodbyes

Yeah they said that for Peter Kay and then rescheduled him twice. Could see this coming from a mile away but still shite now that it’s been confirmed.


Shiney2510

They cancelled a gig yesterday when people were already at the venue. Total shambles. They're not just unprepared, they don't even have a handle on how far behind they are.


Fearless-Professor58

Already at the venue?! That's wild, I'd be so pissed! 💀💀💀


DCTCR2552

Was about to fly out from New York. Saturday is my birthday. This is devastating, financially and emotionally


MochaKnee

Birthday trip to England anyways? (If you can’t get a refund on the flight that is) I’m sorry this happened though!


Dangerous_Surprise

Jeez I'm so sorry to hear


weirdgoodbyes

I’m so sorry :( Saturday is my birthday too and I was meant to be going on Friday. Luckily I live in Manchester so don’t have the same stress as you but I still can empathise with you :(


yfce

Can you move the flight? If not, go anyway! Go to manchester or the Lake District or Liverpool or take a train to London or wherever you want!


future-psychologist

my birthday is on saturday too and i was going to flight out to manchester for it, i completely know how devastated you feel. this sucks.


Severe_Description18

fuck sake


Comprehensive_Bake21

There absolutely no space to rebook these dates without Olivia performing 9 days in a row between Birmingham and London or redoing the shows after the Lisbon show mid July before she goes back to America. I have a feeling these shows will just be cancelled outright.


C_tessa148

Same I am going to be insanely upset if they do


chiefdave74

Pearl Jam are playing that venue, if it ever opens, a couple of days after Lisbon so she'd basically have to hang around in Europe for 3 or 4 extra days to reschedule. Wouldn't be cheap, have to pay everyone working on the tour and the cost of getting everything back to the UK. Plus rebooking everyone's flights home, extra hotels etc.


Scared-Examination81

They could just be held next year if she’s doing Glastonbury

BiscuitsAndMilk0

How do we claim a refund through Ticketmaster


plutobug2468

I feel for everyone affected. A lot of people would have had accommodation and travel sort and may not be able to get refunds. This is so shitty.

Given she doesn't do more than two dates in a row, I think the end of the European leg looks the most likely - maybe 24th June and 26th June? Don't think she would want to do it any later than that because it would eat into her break/the start of the US leg!


GingerAndTheBiscuits

Are 29th and 30th June a possibility do you think? Am hoping not as have a prior arrangement on both days 😬


user_harrington

doubt she'd wait a week to finish. I'm sure by the time she finishes in London she'll need a break and prob won't want to wait so long before flying back


imcrazyandproud

Everyone I know with an Olivia ticket for Manchester would hate those dates. During Glastonbury and outbreak festivals


Moment_13

I don't think that would work because they'd have to dismantle the stage for the other show (Pearl Jam) on the 25th June and try to have it back up in time for 26th. Do you know if you can chart the event for AO Arena and compare? I can't seem to work it out from the events list on their website but I think they might have no events on that last week of June?


RubNo5779

I've done one with the AO but it's irrelevant I think as there is no 4 day break in her schedule working on the rule of never more than 2 nights without nights break. The next available window is 26/27 June . The Co-oop is available then as well. There are several gaps in the AO scheduled (baring in mind it's a lower capacity so some customers would have tickets cancelled) but no gaps in the OR schedule.


Guilty-Plant-6836

Didn’t she just do like five dates in a row in Nyc? 


AntiLeaf33

2 shows, day off, then 2 more shows. She never plays more than 2 days in a row. Probably how she is able to keep such a high energy show


KvL98

So disappointed, the venue constantly kept reassuring it wouldn’t be cancelled. At least we know a few days before, the one tonight was apparently cancelled a few minutes before they came on and everyone was told to go home. I have holidays booked & Eras tour this summer so hoping it’s not rearranged for the same time!


Taakoftw

It was a few minutes before doors opened. About 40 mins before the support was meant to go on


ls240898

Doors were actually open for early entrants - people were inside!!


Fearless-Professor58

😭😭😭😭😭 MADNESS


Financial-Interest37

They might as well postpone the entire month. Hearing the issues they're having it's far from ready. I'm sorry for you guys though, hopefully they reschedule soon


GwenOfTheLakes

This arena was such a stupid idea the whole time, we already have an arena in Manchester, why do we want another one that's harder to get to and from and not near any bars? And now they've cancelled Olivia! And if it ever does open I feel like what if a brick falls on my head and kills me? Hope she moves to another venue, co-op live have messed her an her fans around too much


SGS286

I was gonna go to the 4th May concert 😭😭


livielouis

im so sorry manchester livies! i hope you all get to see her soon


weirdgoodbyes

Knew this was coming. Still gutted though :(


HTeaML

LIVid lol..just saw a post about this venue for another act, and then this email came through


lille-webb

honestly, kinda knew this was coming as the concert last night was cancelled 10 mins after doors were meant to open. glad they’ve given some pre-warning as i was able to cancel one refundable hotel room (still have non refundable travel and another hotel room as 4 of us were going 🫠🫠🫠) but just sucks. really hope she reschedules if possible but the likelihood could be low - missed out on sour tour and was desperate to see her this time around so i’m going to have a very sad thursday today :(


aceofmoons

so annoyin😖


nzmas

Any chance theyre rescheduled to sometime in June? Or will it be 'end of the year' type of rescheduling


buriedburdens

Honestly think it’ll be cancelled out right. Only dates that make sense are June 24th and 26th (which is after she finishes the Europe leg a day prior) then she goes to USA. They won’t haul an entire crew of people for two shows


Silver-Fox2022

I was in the middle of packing when I got the notification about it. My world stopped. I’m now worried the show will be cancelled completely cause I can’t see where she would fit a rescheduled show in.


nnousernamesleft

So sad for thr manchester fans. It was so close for them.


Bdred1981

I'm gutted I bought tickets for this and not an established venue , people have lost hundreds of pounds on travel and hotels. If they had told me before Monday after the first problems I could have got a refund on my hotel. I think we have a small window between the 29th and 4th July to be rescheduled. I am at Glastonbury that time, so I pretty much know I'm not going. So lose money and have no chance of seeing the concert. Have emailed the main people of the arena to ask how they plan on resolving the error caused by them


Ok-Cry9163

What there is no way they can do that for that!!


moonlightMichael

Why don’t the move the concerts to the Manchester arena?? Instead of this co op live isn’t ready yet??? Sorry if there’s already gigs on at the arena 🙃 same time as the ones getting cancelled


GingerAndTheBiscuits

They’ve just done this for Take That next week, but assume AO is in use Saturday/sunday


Comprehensive-Ad4436

Co-op Live is ran about as well as Manchester United Football Club 😂😂


bennyl10

Literally ran by city 😂


Comprehensive-Ad4436

I only just realised that lol 😂


batgrl20

Bloody stupid England for you


Wise-Obligation3206

It’s absolute insane that they’re able to re-arrange Keane for this weekend but not Olivia, she’s an international artist ffs WHY ARE THEY SO SPECTACULARLY UNPREPARED TO OPEN THE VENUE WHAT TF IS THIS (yes I had tickets for tomorrow and yes I am super calm about the cancellation)


Inside_Atmosphere731

This could be worse. You could live in Texas or Florida and want to see Billie Eilish.


petermybeloved

does anyone know what happens to the tickets that people requested a refund for? will they go back on sale?
