WOMAN SLAMS ETIHAD STAFF FOR TREATMENT AT CONCERT
A WOMAN who was ejected from Saturday night's Coldplay show at the Etihad after she stood up and danced during the song played at her mother-in-law's funeral, has called the behaviour of security staff 'disgusting!
Andrea Nelson, from Moston, was in a seated area at the stadium and got up to dance to the band's anthem Yellow, but soon found herself being escorted out barely halfway through the set.
Though tickets for her section of the stadium stipulate that standing during the concert is not allowed, she tried to reason with security and explain the situation.
But Andrea, who paid nearly £150 for her ticket, told the M.E.N. that staff at the stadium were 'rude' and 'would not listen, and she and her partner Anthony soon found themselves being removed from the venue.
