Sorry we do not have a cloakroom facility at concerts.
The decanting of all bottled drinks is company policy due to health and safety reasons. At concerts bottles are considered missiles and are often thrown at the stage and
can cause serious injury to the band not to mention other concert goers.
Due to our commitment to sustainability and green issues, all “plastic cups” are in fact, not plastic but a substance called Vegware which is recyclable and is in fact made from
corn!
Compact cameras and camera phones are permitted at concerts unless otherwise stated. Any camera which has a removable lens is not permitted within the venue. This is a stipulation of the acts and their promoters, due to copyright issues.
Photographers must contact AECC (who will pass the request on to the relevant promoter) to request a press pass which, if granted, will allow access with a professional camera.
When tickets are marked “seated”, they are in an all-seating area. In these circumstances if other customers view will be blocked by you standing you will be asked to sit by a member of the security staff. However we operate on a majority rules basis, and if the majority of people are standing then you will not be asked to sit down.
If you think this will cause an issue for you, we recommend purchasing tickets in the tiered seating (rather than the flat floor seating), as it is less likely (though not impossible) that people will stand in the tiered section.
The merchandise is sold by AECC, please call 01224 824824.
The final decision is down to the promoter of that event – they liaise closely with Grampian Police and the artist(s) performing to decide the best course of action for all. AECC do not have the authority to cancel any concert if the promoters decide it will proceed.
