Peter Kay at Co-op Live: Tickets remain available for shows pushed back by new arena - how to buy

Tickets remain available for comedian Peter Kay’s two nights at Manchester’s new arena Co-op Live. However, he will no longer be the first official act to open the venue.

This comes as Co-op Live announced that the dates will be pushed back to ensure finishing touches within the arena can be sorted in time. Peter Kay will now perform at Co-op Live on April 29 and 30, instead of April 24 and 24 as originally announced.

Gary Roden, Executive Director and General Manager, Co-op Live, said: "When you think of Manchester, it’s hard not to think of Peter Kay. He embodies what this city is about, and to have him headlining Co-op Live is tremendously exciting. We’re creating an arena that is truly part of the community around it, and having Peter as our opening act is a perfect reminder of that.”

General sale for the first gig began back in February. Both nights have ‘low availability’ on Ticketmaster, but selected seats are available starting at around £74.
