Wembley Arena a bit of a joke to be honest, feel like its just full of rubbish acts. I never see anything of interest listed there compared to ally pally.

 

Its also as said, substantially smaller.

 

An act doing arenas elsewhere would want to do the 20k o2 most likely (given the population of london), whereas an act doing like 3-5k venues elsewhere is likely to try and do Ally Pally / Wembley Arena.

There is the strangeness to think that Wembley Arena began life as a swimming pool, and some suggest the acoustics are still a bit wacky because of that. I didn't have issues on my two visits there, but maybe the more eagle eared can note it.

 

I assume the aborted plan to build something like the Vegas Sphere in East London would've been around that size tbf.

Yeah the east london sphere would have been similar.


Was a sh*t idea to be honest - just need to build a bog standard 2nd arena around the 20-25k size.

Its for teenage cancer trust

I'm aware of that but to make any money for the charity they need people through the door - and judging by the initial uptake of tickets it doesn't look like there is a mad rush.

It wasn't clear you were aware of that - sorry 馃檪 

 

I agree it seems like a lot for the corrs! they only just did the o2 as well for probably half the price

Noel was around 拢100 last year, and we were 5th row just by the stage at the side, couldn't have got better seats. Big increase

Expand  

Yeah chems was 拢110 standing so this does surprise me

 

The lineups are pretty rubbish this year as well - surprising to raise the prices this year so much!

The placement of the Sphere was a bit daft as the o2 is only a few miles away. Wembley arena needs to be pulled down and rebuilt.

All good - I just wondered whether I had missed something with the Corrs - maybe more popular than I realised. Even if you allow a 10% premium for a charity gig it still seems like a lot. But maybe I've just misjudge their popularity.
