Pink fans have complained of being trapped in the car park until the early hours - for the second night running.
The singer has performed two huge shows in Bolton this week, though many fans’ experiences were marred by the scenes after the show, when hundreds of vehicles were stuck in the car park for hours. On Thursday promoters warned of a two-hour wait to get out of the car parks.
Following the show fans again complained about the traffic getting away from the stadium, with many until the early hours, reports the MEN. However, lots of gig-goers responded to the issues from Wednesday night and either parked or arranged taxi pick-ups a short walk from the stadium.

Writing on Twitter, Ben Handley on said: "@Pink you were truly amazing tonight, thank you! The show was out of this world! @UoBStadium @Official BWFC on the other hand an absolute shambles & disgrace, if you can’t manage these events don’t try, access to pitch area was genuinely dangerous & as for parking."
Replying to the MEN on Twitter, Rob added: "And the same again for the 2nd night! 12.30am and still stuck in Tesco car park! Traffic situation is chaos!!!"
Stephen wrote: "Why do they bother? Been like that for decades, was just as bad when Oasis played there, only difference we didn't have social media to go n complain, just sat in the car n waited."
On Thursday, stadium bosses said they would be ‘reviewing’ their plan. A spokesperson for the University of Bolton Stadium said: "Following an incredible opening night of Pink's sensational Summer Carnival Tour 2023, at which we welcomed over 35,000 people to the University of Bolton Stadium, we are aware that some concert-goers experienced traffic and congestion issues when departing the site.
"Working closely with the relevant authorities, we are reviewing the traffic management plan in place ahead of this evening's show, with a view to mitigating these issues and improving the experience for all those visiting the stadium for tonight's second concert."
It seems that many fans had no problems getting home after Thursday's concert. Carol Fern said: "Home quicker than we got there! Parked 15 mins walk from stadium and took A roads back to m61/m60. And Pink was awesome as usual."
Cheryl O'Rourke tweeted: "I left at 12:30am walked to the car park. 10 minutes to get out and the diversion to the M61 worked perfectly. I was home near Southport at 1:45am."
Jo Camm added: "Seemed much better tonight, we were back to car and back home to Preston by 12:30. Was expecting a 2am time after reading last night's report."
