Jamie Webster fans claim 'tickets weren't checked' at M&S Arena gig

Jamie Webster fans left the M&S Bank Arena in tears following reports of "overcrowding" and claims tickets were "not checked".

11,000 fans made their way to the sold-out gig on Saturday, November 19, to watch the 28-year-old singer perform at his highly-anticipated hometown show. However, reports quickly surfaced online of long queues once fans entered the stadium, as well as "overcrowded bars and flooded toilets".

Liam Kelly, who was meeting his friends inside the arena, claimed that tickets were not checked and that some fans without tickets managed to gain entry. Arena bosses told the ECHO that ticket checking was "rigorous" and "all appropriate checks were made on the night".
