Co-op Live  レビュー 

Went to see Teddy Swims tonight.
Awful sound. Drowned out vocals. Far to loud and distorted. Totally unenjoyable. Section D row 21. A sound engineer needs to sit there. I'm sure Teddy will be disappointed.

My friend and I attended Teddy Swims this evening and I have to say the experience was second to none.
I had emailed the arena after going through major surgery very recently which was for a Spinal cord Stimulator which has a charger and remote control. This stops me from going through any sort of body scanner.
We were emailed back to go to Gate B. We arrived and I explained that I could not be scanned and was carrying equipment as well as a specific card for security.
A female security was called for and she searched me.
We then went through doors and were unsure about where to go, however a very nice security guard spoke to us and went and got a host for us.
I really don’t remember her name , but she guided us to fan base. She was so supportive . At fan base they were amazing and we were able to get seats as I had originally bought standing before my surgery.
Honestly I can not thank the Co Op Live enough.
Thank you

Absolutely totally agree with this review I thought it was just me but no.
It was a shame I was so looking forward to it.

This was the review I 100% agree with.

I went to see Teddy Swims last night and the sound was awful. Not sure if the venue is badly designed or the sound engineer was on work experience, but it was very badly mixed and far too loud. It was so loud that the bottom end was distorting and there seemed to be loads of reverb, which makes me think that the venue just isn’t suitable for live music. At times it was impossible to hear Teddy above the band. When the female backing vocalists stepped forward to sing with him they were inaudible. Even some of the guitar solos were hard to make out. Incidentally, the camera operator for the big screen concentrated on one of the two guitarists, every time there was a solo, as they should. Unfortunately, they picked the wrong one, virtually every time, which looked incredibly unprofessional. I resorted to stuffing bits of tissue in my ears to protect my hearing. There was auto tune on the vocals, giving them a tinny, electronic sound, which was awful. Overall an unpleasant evening. Probably quite a good band, but impossible to tell in that venue. I haven’t seen anything else at Coop live, so I can’t tell whether that’s normal or I was unlucky, but my feeling is this venue is completely unsuitable for live music. Given the prices, I certainly won’t risk going again. It was an evening ruined.

Apart from the extortionate parking, £25 for an unmade, unfinished car park, totally disorganised…..

Translation results
I will never visit co- op live again. I was there tonight for the Tedde Swims concert, I paid £25 (the most expensive car park in the city) I wanted to get out of the car but there was a queue behind me and the staff were very unpleasant, the security guard said I either pay f25 or I will be stuck in a queue for an hour to leave

AVOID AVOID AVOID

We haven't even been yet but my friend bought the tickets and we are coming from opposite sides of the country. There is apparently no way of sending the tickets on as it is only downloadable to Google wallet or Apple equivalent but once there it's in their wallet and you can't screen shot it. So we have to meet, if we are late they will miss it too. Every step of the way up till now has been a nightmare.

I would blame ticket master but no such problems at the AO arena!!!

Every person i know who has been to Co Op arena has said it's horrendous.

I took my teenage kids to see Craig David and was given wristbands to check out their backstage club.
The experience was amazing—we even got to attend the after-party! Huge thanks to Nina for arranging everything and taking such great care of us.

We were dreading our visit after reading the reviews.
Straight forward getting to the venue, parking at the venue fine (bit pricey but so are most arenas we have visited).
Entry to the venue was organised with plenty of stewards directing people. The seats were small but the arm rest lifter up for those of us with more ample bodies.
The lighting for the Craig David show was brilliant and the whole show ran smoothly, amazing show with music from 7 pm through to 11pm non-stop. Best show we have seen in a long time. All in all we were very happy with the whole experience.

I have tickets to go through see Teddy Swims on the 16th March and have been trying to sort out a Disabled Parking Space otherwise it is almost certain that we cannot go. However despite several emails and attempts to reach out to them they either ignore the mail or tell me that check the site daily. I do that but no release and it is clear that parking has to be done four weeks before. Super stressful and spoiling the event for us before we have even got there. Deb Cosgrove Still not sorted and the clock is really ticking. This has been going on since January.

Absolutely shocking. No organisation and very little signage for the arena parking. Went to watch Young voices, we were stuck in traffic for this venue for 1 1/2 hours. A 20 minute journey took 2hours and 10 minutes due to queuing traffic. We missed 45 minutes of this. We were sent right around the arena to get in. Once inside the ticket code wouldn’t work and had to wait for a supervisor to come and sort it out. We then had to walk right around the arena to our seating, on the way passing a door that we were guided away from and told to walk around. The children’s voices were drowned out by the music. I will never go to anything here again. Young voices please go back to the Manchester Arena, much better organised, easier access and the voices of the children sound wonderful there.

Went to see the Eagles last year. The most awful venue I have ever had the displeasure of visiting. Getting there and home was a nightmare.I will never visit again. Daylight robbery when it comes to food and drink. The seating is the most uncomfortable ever. I was 2 rows from front, so I paid good money and it saddens me that the venue put a black cloud over a fantastic band. Never again!

We were looking forward to seeing Cyndi Laupa at your venue on 9 January. Not previously visited before we have attended live performances for over 50 years. Looking forward to your arena Im afraid to say. Ticketmaster moved our seats from.an elevated position near to the stage to the floor seated area at the rear. We will.not be attending and sorry to say we are so disappointed thst we will.never visit your arena. Not a very pleasant start.

The best venue I've been to. It was a pleasure to visit for my first experience. Staff very friendly.

So attended here last night to see Paul Heaton...the actual venue is shocking...far too many seats in too small a space...but I have to applaud the stewards that helped me...I was on the upper circle 3 rows from back...my son had booked the tickets as a 60th gift for me...he thought he had bought 2 end of aisle tickets as I have severe claustrophobia but can cope if I can get out...anyway got to our seats right in the middle of a row...soon as I sat down started having a severe panic attack and just had to get out...my son spoke to a steward to see if I could just stand in the doorway...but he took me to an area that they don't sell tickets for because of restricted view....and told to choose my seat....so sat 3 threes up with space all around me...and spent the rest of the evening completely relaxed and seat dancing....thankyou to the steward who made that possible....x

First time going and was a bit apprehensive after reading reviews. All I can say is from start to finish how helpful and friendly staff are. I realised just hours before arrival due to my son now needing to take medical equipment with him our seats would not be suitable . I didn't have much hope as it was short notice but decided to email and see. Fantastic service within a couple of back and forth emails everything was sorted given a new accessible entrance no worries about getting lost as lots of helpful staff to point you in the right direction, we were sent to fan services who already had our names , gave us wristbands and new allocated seats. Shown to a lift and escorted to our location. Brilliant. Easy to go for drinks and loo brakes. When the show ended was asked our mode of transport and we was going for an uber, a lovely lady Lauren explained it was a bit of a walk to that area and would try to get a taxi closer. Long story but we were there quite a while despite the help of so many stewards , I just couldn't believe how they were going out of there way to help. I want to say a massive thank you to Lauren for rallying the troops and staying with us until we managed to get a taxi, what an asset you are. SO big thank you coop live you were amazing!!!!

Couldn't fault the staff who were both friendly and helpful. The problem is they've squashed too many seats in to the venue. I'm only 5'4" and there was absolutely no leg room whatsoever. The seats are too narrow and the seats in front of you too low making you feel unsafe. It's the only concert I've been to where I haven't stood up at any point. Paul Heaton was amazing though as were the Lightening Seeds and the Zutons. Wouldn't go there again whoever was playing there.

It was a total shambles. I'd never go there again. Co-op Live had some sort of deal with Ticketmaster and both told you that you'd need the Co-op Live App to get in, but after wasting hours trying to get either of them to work on my phone, and failing, the barcode on the tickets in the Ticketmaster website worked anyway! Queued for nearly 2 hours in the drizzle (thankfully it wasn't raining) just to get into the venue. It's in Manchester, so why not provide some cover?
Narrow, steep stairs, seat numbers invisible in the low light levels, narrow seats tight on leg-room and I'm only 5'9"! But it's a scruffy built on the cheap with a warehouse feel place. And why do you need to get your barcode scanned to buy a cuppa outside the venue? Got parked in the college down the road for £20 and no hold up getting out - one positive there! Only saving grace was the performance by Paul McCartney - I'll never ever subject myself to that dump again.

The queueing was terrible in the rain but got in easily enough at the end. You need a mortgage to buy drinks. £35 for a lager and two small cans of wine. Seats very narrow.. probably want to cram more people in for more money. My biggest bugbear is it's a new stadium so you think that health and safety would be utmost in todays society . However there were no rails on the steps going down to the seat. There should be a rail in the middle to help people with walking difficulties etc. I watched one poor lady and she practically was carried down the steps by her son in front and one behind . She told me if there'd been a rail she could have done it, albeit slowly on her own. Such a no no in a new venue.
To me all that mattered was seeing Paul McCartney and he was above great.

Absolute shambles! Visited on 14th December queued for ages 4 different stewards told us to "stay in the line" for entrance D but when we eventually got to the front we were in the wrong place, some of the stewards hadn't got a clue what they were doing. I have been to many venues but never experienced anything like this so badly organised. BTW Sir Paul was brilliant

Avoid this arena. Worst one I have ever been to. Stewards hopeless. Queued one and a half hours in rain, which was over a mile long. Wouldn’t go to this one again no matter who was playing.Been to Wembley and Cardiff this year to see Springsteen and Billy Joel. Just walked in venues no long lines to join.Enjoyed a drink in both before shows.We only just made it in to this co-op arena ,when we where told to take our seats the show will be starting. People who where still in the Queue outside must of missed the opening songs.But McCartney was Fantastic
