Huge disappointment
by Elizabeth . on 15/09/2024Opera House, Manchester - ManchesterRating: 2 out of 5Sadly, this event was a total disappointment. It said in the ticket that the concert would start at 7pm, doors to the auditorium didn't open until 7:20pm( very unusual for an event of this nature) .the presenter made an appearance around 20/30 minutes later to introduce a supporting act who performed around 4/5 songs, another long wait of around 15 minutes until the second supporting act was introduced ( 4 or 5 songs) . This was then followed by a long interval, longer than 15 minutes. It was very hot and people kept getting of their seat to purchase alcohol. The main artist- Katie Melua, finally made an appearance around 9:10pm . Such an amazing artist and only performed 5 songs. The concert was then finished. There was no specification of supporting artist or length of the concert on the website at the time of purchasing the tickets, therefore it was terribly disheartening to have only 5 songs performed by Katie Melua at the end of the evening. Definitely not worth the traveling to Manchester from Kent including travel and accommodation costs included. BBC radio has indeed disappointed us.
