Question

Can i find out how many people attended a gig at the MEN arena in Manchester(UK)?

Answer 1

Thats difficult... is not like a football match where the club keeps accurate statistics of attendee's for the record books which are also published in the public domain i.e. newspapers, sports mags, tv news etc.

I'd suggest you contact the MEN Arena, you could probably get an e-mail or telephone no. of their website. If they can't tell you how many people attended they can at least tell you what the capacity of the arena the gig took place in is.

The only other thing you could do is contact any ticket company selling tickets, but there was probably a few including the venue itself. I can't see them being overly helpful either, so I wouldn't consider that option myself.

Answer 2

Hiya !

The easy answer is... contact the MEN Arena !

They usually keep records of attendance figures for large events for health & safety/statistical reasons.

They should be able to tell you the numbers, unless they consider it to be 'sensitive data' not for public knowlege.  The MEN Arena web-site is....

http://www.livenation.co.uk/venue/getVen...

Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on 'Help' - To the right of the 'Go' button, click the little triangle.

Third option down is a a link 'contacting us' - When you click this, click on the 'Ask a question' tab, and fill in the form.  I've never used it myself - but I assum that should get you a response !

Good luck anyway and let me know if they replied lol !

Hope this helped ?
