Culture Club Tickets

Tony Hadley got us all going, Then for some reason for me it went a bit flat, I love culture club, tempo of night was flat at times.

Great concert Boy George and culture club have not lost their sparkle Too many drunks spilling drinks they spoiled it as floor was soaked in beer etc

The actual show was amazing, but opening the doors at 6.30 and starting the event at 6.50 is disrespectful to the support act and the people who actually want to watch them which is next door to impossible when everyone is still coming in and people are up and down out of their seats like a Mexican wave

Heaven 17 and Tony Hadley were great....Culture Club were poor....very flat songs had no tones werent upbeat. Never seen so many people leave. Plus the venue was freezing!!

It's a shame when they guest acts are better value for money than main event. Heaven 17 and Tony Hadley were great. I found Culture Club to be quite boring. Boy George come across as funny and nice. However, the performance was lacking something. Lots of people were leaving early. Karma Chameleon was the last song. Even this came over as quite dull.

Fabulous concert. Arena staff were amazing when we couldn't see the stage when other people attending were in the way, they changed our seats with no hassle whatsoever. Ticketmaster uk are always helpful when we are organising tickets. A+

My friend and I attended the Culture Club , Heaven 17 and Tony Hadley gig at Leeds First Direct Arena. The only queue encountered was the very long queue for the ladies in the interval! If you don't want alcohol they happily serve tap water. Good arena staff.

First time at Manchester cooperative live the staff were great helpful the place is nice clean the layout of the place is good saw culture club Heaven17 and Tony Hadley it was a fantastic night all the acts where good the sound was fantastic a great night

Absolutely amazing night, all three bands were fantastic.

Good night, Heaven 17 and Tony Hadley both good. Tony still has a great voice and really enjoyed Spandau Ballet hits. The back drop for Culture Club was superb and really good concert including big hits such as Karma Charmeleon etc. Boy George was entertaining and performed well. They did a good 2 hour gig.

We attended the Co-Op arena for the first time last night, it was very well organised with people directing you where you needed to go from getting off and back on the tram and inside the venue itself. The seats were good and you didn't feel like you were going to fall like the AO arena. Wasn't over keen on Heaven 17 as not our kind of music, Tony Hadley was very good and still had a good voice, Culture Club were good but we didn't recognise a lot of their songs so didn't enjoy them quite as much, but he was a good showman. Overall a good night though.

Culture Club, perhaps a little bit too much self indulgence in the choice of songs performed on this tour. Too many unknown songs chosen which was reflected in the audience participation. A good number of people left the arena even before the hour mark. Thankfully ours were free tickets so only travel, accommodation and outrageous drinks prices at the Co-Op live to bear the cost.

Amazing night. Brilliant sound. Great visual lighting. Band on top form.

Totally loved the show. George, Micky & Roy were all amazing. I get worried watching some 80's stars because they should just not perform now. George was amazing and sounded just like he did back in the day. Heaven 17 & Tony Hadley were also great supporting acts and boy can Tony still belt them out. Excellent concert with the supports it was over 3 hours of music. Culture Clubs set was just over 2 hours long.

From start to finish great night of nostalgia for those of a certain age, well worth it ..!!

Loved Heaven 17 Tony Hadley & Culture Club. I great night at Co Op live . The music in between the acts was also very good. A great night.

The show was a great show.Heaven 17 lovely Tony Hadley and the talented lively culture club. Great night and great Atmosphere. It started at 7 and finished about 10.45 . Well organised.A celebration of Culture Club , they can still put a good concert

Having booked seats near to and paid extra for back stage club, I was very disappointed to find that my seats now had a restricted view due to extended stage and I would be moved to a location that was on the floor of the area rather than the close elevated position i had booked. This meant that the back stage clubbwas not able to be accessed conveniently and thus a waste of money. The seats were now in the middle of the crowd with people stood up in front which is fine, but meant I had to stand up too. Not happy.

Okay so I was never a no.1 fan of Culture Club, Spandau B or H17... probably not even a no.23,986 fan, to be honest. But the Mrs and I fancied a bop and a boogie in the run-up to Christmas and what better way than blasting back into the past and celebrating like it was December 1984 all over again. It's fair to say I came with lowish expectations of both the venue (all that opening publicity etc) and the artists. Perhaps I should do this more often as I can honestly say it was a belting night out with no issues, no blips and a heck-of-a-lot of smiles and happiness. Booking through TM was straightforward as usual and could select our seats readily enough. Pre-event info was also top (maybe running and set-times could have been added?) and we booked the onsite parking online too. Directions and signage at the venue was good and first impressions of Co-op Live were ace... it looks and feels the part. As it's part of the Co-op cooperative it was pleasing to see Co-op products for sale (and for Coop members to get a little discount). We had food there and it was (i) good and (ii) priced reasonably. Our seats were great (B2) and the staff on hand were constantly helpful (particularly in the arena to get folks to seats). We even had ice-creams in one of the breaks - a bit of an effort to track them down (perhaps have ice-cream stands dotted around to save sweet-tooth folk from queueing with the boozers?). However it was well worth the wait - Ben & Jerry. Yum. Everything across the venue is clean and fresh and even the parking afterwards wasn't too much of a bun-fight to exit. All in all, we feel very proud of this addition to the NW venue - better than owt in that there London, for sure! Sound was ace. So the artists... H17 were okay - short set (about 20-25 mins) and naturally ended with an extended 'Temptation'. Not as good as I had hoped for... next Tony Hadley. He comes across as your drunk Uncle Arthur at the family wedding (there were even mock boxing poses as though reminding everyone he used to be a prize fighter 40 years ago)... but that's soon forgotten when he starts to sing. OMG - what a set of lungs he still has. 45 mins of belting classics sung perfectly with a band tighter than your jeans in January. Chapeau to you, sir... you definitely converted this honest doubter. Finally the show itself. BG and CC... and yes, it was a show - brilliant and huge graphics which told more of the story than the man himself could possibly do justice to (and yes, we do have George the Raconteur for between most songs). Those tabloid headlines from the mid-80s remind us how socially conservative the world was back then and how far we have travelled (no more screaming 'Gender Bender' labels for someone who's possibly seen as a National Treasure). The songs themselves were interesting - drawn mostly from the first two albums with less 'banging' tunes than perhaps most were expecting. This is also a Culture Club show so Mikey and Roy remind us that they were a proper band with superb musicianship throughout. They are amplified now by a group of others who would have fitted equally into Prince's Revolution (that good, that tight etc). For the Manc show George and the boys seem to have listened to earlier reviews as 'Karma C' was the closing song for the night - and huge approval there. For me, the extended version of T. Rex's 'Get It On' was a highlight - and a reminder to the locals (from BG) that O***s ripped more than a few of Marc Bolan's riffs for their own tunes (cheeky George insulting the Gods right on their backdoor step!). For a Wednesday night in December it was a brilliant and life affirming evening of proper entertainment.
