Has anyone been to a show at the co op live arena in Manchester?

When I go to shows I generally go to the Apollo, It's quite small/manageable. I go with my mum a lot who has mobility problems, She uses a mobility scooter or if she can't will use a walking stick, she can't stand for long periods of time and struggles with stairs hence going to the Apollo.

Thinking of getting tickets for Micky Flanagan but the fact it's at the co op is putting me off a bit, It looks massive and I'm assuming the queue's are long and it might take a long time to get out at the end of the show? Is it worth giving this one a miss as my mum would be coming with me?. Just trying to get a general idea of what it might be like?

Thanks.

We went for a concert earlier this year.
The concourse areas were spacious and the queue basically single file till doors then there are lots of entry and search points where you show your ticket.
The floor area is huge and the seating and access to it is very steep upstairs.
We didn’t queue long for loos. There are bars and self serve CoOp areas for snacks and drinks.
Getting out was AWFUL. A queue of people marshalled down a series of stairs and then an absolute throng of people all trying to exit via the same area.
The parking is directly outside and was £25 for the night prebooked only.
Directed in by staff on entry, an hour of unsupervised queuing into a bottleneck one Lane system to exit.
I assume if you try their social media they will explain what accessibility options they have to accommodate your mum.
Hope that helps and good luck.
