The family, from Lytham, said their night was ruined by the 'obscene' incident
A Lytham St Anne’s man says his family's visit to the AO Arena to watch Duran Duran was ruined when a "brawl" broke out in the crowd.
Robert said: "There was a couple sat in front of us. They were in their 50s, having a good time, taking selfies before Duran Duran came on. A couple of rows in front of him was a younger lad, he got up [once the band came on-stage].“The older guy shouted at him to sit down and he did. Then he did it again and there was an obscene exchange. After the third time, they started to brawl. The old fella went from zero to 100.
During the incident, one of Robert’s daughters went to find a security guard — but had a long search, he claimed. “She had to go all the way down to the foyer area, where the bars are,” he said. The incident ‘traumatised’ Robert and his wife, he added, meaning they decided to leave after just a few songs. He explained why: “We left 5 or 10 minutes after the brawl. There was an atmosphere. Once some thinking like that happens, you are hyper-aware of it.”
