'Heartbroken' little girls turned away from George Ezra concert after queueing for an hour

Three little girls were left "absolutely heartbroken" after being refused entry to a George Ezra concert because they were too young to be in the standing area.

Paul Farnworth, 31, from Wigan, says he travelled to the M&S Bank Arena in the city centre on Tuesday, September 13 to see the popstar with his daughter Mollie, six, and son Davis, nine. They had travelled within a group of other adults and children, who were between the ages of six and 10 reports The Liverpool Echo. He says they had purchased eight tickets from Ticketmaster for the standing area in the arena.

Paul says they stood in a queue for a full hour where stewards in the arena checked the children's bags. However, as they got to the front, he says they were refused entry by the same steward who checked the bags. The reason given was that the children were under 14 and not allowed in the standing area.
