Liverpool Eurovision venue crowd congestion ‘unacceptable’, report says

ACC Liverpool admits long queues at M&S Bank Arena led to problems for people coming to Jamie Webster gig

Crowd congestion at the Liverpool venue due to host the Eurovision song contest later this year was not acceptable, its operator has reportedly admitted.

ACC Liverpool, which runs the M&S Bank Arena in the city, acknowledged that people had been left in extremely long queues for the bars and toilets, which in turn caused problems for people trying to get into the venue for the sold-out Jamie Webster concert. The congestion got so bad that some fans complained one area felt unsafe, the BBC reported.
