M&S Bank Arena investigating overcrowding at Jamie Webster gig

An investigation has been launched after reports of overcrowding at Jamie Webster's gig at the M&S Bank Arena.

The Liverpool-born singer sold out the arena on Saturday night (November 19). Fans attending the gig reported chaotic scenes, including congestion at entrances and at bars, as thousands of people arrived to watch the homecoming show.

An attendee told the ECHO they queued for 45 minutes to enter the arena and claimed producing digital tickets resulted in a message of 'no entry', but the ticket holders were allowed into the venue anyway. The person also said there was a 45 minute wait at a bar.
