Coldplay fan told to leave gig for 'dancing to mother-in-law's funeral song'

A Coldplay fan's "memorable concert" turned into a nightmare when she was ejected from the gig after standing up and dancing during the song played at her mother-in-law’s funeral. Andrea Nelson described the behaviour of security staff at Saturday's show at Manchester City's Etihad stadium as "disgusting".

She was in a seated area and got up in order to dance to the band’s anthem Yellow, but soon found herself being escorted out barely halfway through the set. Although tickets for the section of the stadium Andrea was in stipulate that standing during the concert is not allowed, she tried to reason with security and explain the situation.

But Andrea, who paid nearly £150 for her ticket, said staff were "rude" and "would not listen", resulting in her and her partner Anthony being removed from the stadium, reports the Manchester Evening News.
