A gig-goer who described her experience of a Paolo Nutini concert in Manchester as “horrendous” claims she is still waiting to hear back from the venue after filing a complaint. Claire Middleton from Eccles, attended the gig at 02 Victoria Warehouse on October 22 and has sent three emails to the venue since then, receiving only an automatic reply.
Claire was one of several fans at the gig who spoke about alleged overcrowding and people passing out and having to be carried out the venue. Some branded the gig ‘unsafe’, while others raised issues with the sound and not being able to see the stage.
At the time, Claire, who bought her tickets from a resale site, told the Manchester Evening News : “We tried to walk into the main area so we could watch the concert, but it was so crowded. Everyone pushing.
