Didn't you think the Arena was pretty empty in January? It seemed to only be half of the Arena so I was thinking it might have been better for them to have played city hall instead? Or is half the Arena's capacity bigger than a full city hall?! I haven't been to the city hall so I don't know how big it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of traders will burn you the boots for nothing as long as you pay postage/packing and send them cd's. Yes, it was disappointing to see it that empty. I went to the MEN arena show and that was full. That arena is much bigger than Sheffield. I went in 2000 to City Hall and it was a great atmosphere as most of the time small halls are. I wasn't disappointed because they put on a great performance in January but it must be hard when the arena is only half full. I not sure aobut the half arena size to city hall but I would imagine that CC thought they may sell more than they did and once the arena is booked obviously cannot switch, so the only other alternative is cancellation.

cosywolf Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 The Levellers, a few years back. I've never danced and sang so hard and so loud in my life. It was WILD:D I also went with a load of people who were bigger than me, and they made a circle around me so I wouldn't get squashed by the crowd. I had no idea, I was bouncing around so much and then after they all had a story to tell about people crashing into them, while I was bruise-free. That's a night I'd relive in an instant.
