Arena and Convention Centre Liverpool

The 11,000 seat Echo Arena is located on the world-famous Liverpool waterfront.

It is part of the Arena and Convention Centre Liverpool (ACC Liverpool), which also includes the BT Convention Centre.

The Echo Arena opened in January 2008 and welcomed its millionth visitor last week.

To mark the occasion the Arena presented a lucky concert goer with a golden ticket, which can be redeemed for a pair of free passes for ten shows of their choice between now and the end of next year.

As an added bonus, winner Dorothy Krelle from Prescott was presented the prize by Sir Cliff Richard, who was performing with the Shadows on their 50^th anniversary tour.

Since its opening the Arena has hosted a range of high profile shows, including Sports Personality of the Year, the Stirling Prize and the MTV Europe Awards. Acts which have played the venue include Elton John, Pink Floyd, Coldplay and the Kings of Leon.

Future shows include Tom Jones, Morrissey, Muse, Beyonce and Spandau Ballet.
