The arena has only one official car park and parking spots must be pre-booked online ahead of an event
Nestled near the Etihad Stadium, the venue boasts just one official car park, which requires drivers to book their spot online before events. However, the steep standard fee has sparked outrage among visitors who feel they're being fleeced.
They added: "It already costs so much to get tickets to these concerts, without having to pay so much extra on top of that." A spokesperson for Co-op Live described the decision as 'regrettable', stating that 'the ambition and scale of this venue is enormous' and the rescheduling 'gives us the extra time we need to continue testing thoroughly'.
The scheme was designed to prevent gig-goers and football fans from causing issues for locals by parking on residential streets. However, over the opening weekend of Co-op Live, enforcement officers issued 159 parking tickets, with residents claiming that visitors to their homes were wrongly fined.
