What times are banned?
If you are going to the Co-op Live arena you are required to agree to a personal or item search. Members of staff can remove items such as: food, glass, bottles, cans, alcohol, large umbrellas, lighters, disposable vapes, professional cameras, plastic bottle tops, and recording equipment.
Devices like laptops, iPads, Go Pros, and similar items are also not allowed, unless pre-approved for medical reasons.
Other banned items include: Weapons, ammunition, explosives, horns, whistles, drums, fireworks, flagpoles and any other item which in their reasonable opinion, may cause danger or disruption to any event or other visitors (regardless of whether such item is illegal or is carried for specific purposes).
Assistance dogs are the only animals permitted inside the venue.
How to prepare for security screenings?
It is advised when entering the Co-op Live arena to finish up with food or drinks beforehand as you are not allowed to take these in with you. Fans are then expected to head to the entrance stated on your ticket with the app open and ready for scanning by a member of staff. You will need to keep your small bag and coat on you as you pass through screening when asked by a member of the team.
