If there is a 20,000 capacity and with tickets going at £45, £65 and £80 pounds as well as the corporate side this event will probably gross app £1,250,000 (yes million) then throw in the extras it will come to quite a sum.

My niece could only get the £80 (gross £90) today at lunch time, I have just been on the Park Hotel site just to see if I could book a meal prior to the match(I will be there) and I noticed that all rooms are fully booked.

Should be quite a night. Well done Leigh, I hope the club get a good payday.

That's why the tickets I have purchased are on a credit card.

Have to say however I think the idea that any pop star would pull out of this now especially when this one is told about how the sale of tickets for this event are going.

Are you a 'ticket tout' Frank ?
My mate says that you love "Motorhead, Anthrax & Metallica".....WEIRD

It won't be ruined they cover it and it's seating at floor level not standing

THe pitch wil be fine. I have been to loads of concerts at stadiums. They put a thick hessian matting over it, where the suface can breath but get no big dints in it. Be crazy to have seating on the pitch. You could get more in standing.

Charlie has just been told there are plenty of £10 seats lefts , sat on Morrisons Car park . .

Them'r the ones I can afford CC

Ah but who's credit card Frank.

Based off the event seating plan the capacity will be approximately 9.5K. There is no standing. Hopefully the first of many great concerts!

Although looking at the plan again maybe they are getting a good 8-10k on the pitch!

Don't let the Scrum go Down on me

I'm still stand off

does anyone know whether leigh centurions will get a % out of the elton john concert?

If they can't make any profit out of hosting an Elton John concert then I don't think there's ever going to be much hope!

Well done to those involved in this, hopefully it'll be good for the whole town not just LSV.
