Over 12,000 at the Racecourse tonight. Surely it'll mean plenty of money being spent by the punters!

If they only spend a tenner each on average that would be £120,000 takings. Profit margin of 40% after expenses?
Nearly an extra build the budget.

Unfortunately it looks like there could be a few problems ahead.

Reading tweets from north wales police there are still long queues of people trying to get in.

Friends of mine who are attending are saying when they opened the gates they had forgotten the scanners to scan the tickets to let people in. Louisa Johnson had to cut her set short due to time regulations for residents.

Hopefully just rumour mill and not facts as the money will be invaluable to the club.

I know people that were in the ground at 6.30pm, not sure how they got in without the scanners working or maybe the problem was in the seating areas. I did hear that the queues were by the sainsbury roundabout thou. With it being a nice night weather wise I hope everyone is buying food and drinks galore !

dropped people off at seven, queue was up to roundabout and doubling back, they went for a drink and got in before the start of Olly

Re queues.

Extra security, so everyone can be safe, is I'm afraid the sign of the times. Better that everyone gets home in one piece.

Should have got all the concert goers drive to Chester and get Police escorted buses to the racecourse.

We should be aiming for one of these a weekend next summer. There are enough acts touring the U.K. to do it.
