The prices for drinks at gigs everywhere is a joke, I often drink very little at gigs as it costs an absolute fortune to pay for, I think I bought some chips when I saw the Killers at Wembley Stadium and I think it costed something ridiculous like £5! And I think just a regular sized Coke was around £4. They charge so much simply because they can.
Also saw Kings of Leon at the Stadium of Light a few years back and the queues were horrendous for food and drink.
Hopefully things will be okay this time but it is always hell at these sorts of things.
There designed to cope with 90 minutes before a match and 40 minutes around half time, at some concerts were simply overwhelmed and really unprepared for those first concerts in 2009(Take That x3 and Oasis)...
And your right Jimmi, the pricing is a joke, and your right, they charge a kings ransom because it ain't like you can say to a steward 'I'm popping out for a pint' or 'Can I goto the Off-Licence', it is scandalous and to be honest, it should not be allowed in my opinion, if you want a good drink in the Stadium during a concert you will need a to remortgage your house to do so
