He must be really popular, we’re one of the smaller venues he’s playing, he’s expected to fill the O2 and Manchester Arena.

Im' more than very disappointed I must say.
I think to tempt bigger acts it needed to be 5,000 And should easily have been that for £40 million .
Who do you think would be coming to a 5,000 capacity venue, who isn’t coming to the 3,500 capacity one?
Particularly bearing in mind that Boy George is an arena tour and neither 3,500, nor 5,000, are anywhere near an arena size.
Band tours are a funny thing
Recently you could see the Wailers (Bob Marley’s old mob) at Welly Club...next gig was an O2 Arena style job
I will intervene here and settle a couple of points for good.
Breakfast- dinner- tea.
Always has and always will be if you’re working class and from Hull. My Mrs is from the worlds greatest metropolis( Norwich) and is quite posh. She calls it lunch and dinner, does my swede in.
There’s no need for it.
As for the reason people around these parts not eat out as late in the evening as the residents of Barcelona, Marseille or Milan, it’s twatting obvious.
The weather.
When it’s permanently balmy and warm people like to stay out, even around here. The reality is you sit on a roof terrace in Hull in August there’s a fair to middling chance you’ll get hypothermia.
Besides the Europeans tit around and drink wine and even have water through the evening to stop them from getting mullered too quick, where’s the fun in that?
****ing weirdos.

Who says you can't enjoy a roof terrace in Hull.

Those Culture Club tickets are really pricey, the £75 ones are just for standing, the seats go up to over £220 each.
And people say football tickets are too much.
For what it's worth, I'd say Julian is right.
Unrealistic for us to expect something the size of Sheffield arena or Leeds Direct, but come on, 3,500? Already have Brid Spa up the rerd. Far better and appropriate to have had something between 5 and 10k, to help attract acts and to help with ticket prices. Could easily have been designed to be scaled down for smaller audiences.
Good to have the arena, but it really is a(nother) missed opportunity for the City and region. Ambitions too low, and where did the Top 10 aspirations go?
Milan isn't any warmer in the winter. The fact ski resorts aren't far away is a clue.
A lot of European countries drink more beer than we do.
Things are changing though as Hull is dragged, kicking and screaming, into the 20th centrury.
Are the cafe bars and roof terraces in Milan as busy in winter as they are in the balmy spring, hot summer and temperate autumn evenings?
Probably not I dare say.
I don’t like drinking down Princes Ave but go down there when it’s one of those hot summer nights and it is rammed up until closing. If we had a climate like that for 9 months of the year people’s dining out / drinking habits would be different, it’s not hard to work out.
Go there on a wet and windy January night and it’s a whole different story.
Instead of looking at the negatives all the time try and find something good in our dining / drinking culture.
I love eating out late at night when the weather is great but I equally love going in a country pub with an open fire for a Sunday roast when it’s raining and blowing a hooly outside.
That’s one of the reasons why I love this country and this area and don’t slag it off at every given opportunity.
As for your last snide remark?
You live in Brid for ****s sake so how you’ve got the nerve to slate Hull is beyond me.
Wind it in.
£220 for Level 1 seats. Crazy! The other seating prices are between £75 and £85Those Culture Club tickets are really pricey, the £75 ones are just for standing, the seats go up to over £220 each.
Edit: Actually, there are also £75 tickets for seats on the top tier.
You were saying you would freeze to death in August in Hull. Rammed until closing time? How many places are serving food later than 9Pm or open after 11 pm nowadays?
People say we don't have the weather for outdoor cafes but the weather isn't noticably better in Belgium for example where there are squares full of outdoor dining.
I love a good meal in a country pub but our drinking and dining culture is crap. It has improved but it is still based on rushing everything and finishing early.
If they had built a bigger venue in Hull with a larger capacity like Bridlington Spa you could have attracted more hip acts like Daniel O'Donnell.
Presumably everyone will be coming from out of town as Hull folk can't afford £220, so we are told,for a pass at City never mind just for one evening
It's all rather odd in a way it's just some Mediterranean countries perceptions of the weather being cold. My wife and I have been too Benidorm many a time during the winter months, and a couple of Christmases ago we were there and walking around in what, to us, balmy evening weather. But the Spanish were togged up in heavy coats, scarves hat's and gloves, that even happens during the day with temperatures into the mid to late teens and blazing sunshine.
