Co-op Live Arena in Manchester Faces Setbacks Ahead of Official Opening

The new UK's largest indoor arena encounters ticket cancellations and delayed events as it prepares for its grand opening.

Thousands of Rick Astley fans were left disappointed as Co-op Live cancelled 4,000 tickets just an hour before a test event.
Peter Kay's opening shows at Co-op Live have been postponed due to power supply issues, rescheduled for the following week.
Co-op Live aims to become the pre-eminent arena in the UK, with upcoming performances by major artists and hosting the MTV Europe music awards.
The arena, financed by City Football Group and Oak View Group, features a unique design consulted by Harry Styles.
Local authorities and businesses anticipate significant economic and commercial benefits from the new arena.
