A new hospitality suite has opened at Co-op Live which features concert goers with exclusive access, a private bar and premium seats with prime views.

Since opening last year, the huge £450m indoor arena has hosted some of the biggest names in music, sport and comedy featuring the likes of Peter Kay, Take That and Charli XCX, as well as UFC and WWE events.

The Eastlands venue, which is hailed as the largest arena in the UK, will also be hosting artists like Bruce Springsteen, Lady Gaga, Stevie Wonder and Robbie Williams later this year too - with many fans opting for premium opportunities to boost their experience.

According to Seat Unique, there has been an 89% year-on-year increase in hospitality packages at venues like Co-op Live across the north in the last year, with nearly all of their VIP experiences at the venue itself having sold out ahead of showtime.

Following the huge demand, the premium ticket and experience provider has now unveiled its newest Seat Unique Suite at Co-op Live. The special area includes views of the stage from the VIP lounge, which can also be exclusively accessed before and after the show it has been booked for.

In addition, suite packages will also include premium Level 1 seats, located directly outside of the VIP lounge. People can also order food and drink from within the suite, as well as access to a private bar.

It is available for a number of upcoming shows, including those from the likes of Lionel Ritchie, Billie Eilish, JLS, Diana Ross, Five and Olly Murs.

Robin Sherry, founder and CEO of Seat Unique, said: "Partnering with Co-op Live to provide fans with access to these unforgettable moments has been hugely rewarding and the team there has been phenomenal to work with. We’re excited to continue working with Co-op Live this year.
