Radford Family Criticizes Manchester Arena Over VIP Access

Sue Radford, mother of 22 and star of Channel 5’s '22 Kids And Counting', expressed her outrage on social media after her daughter Tillie, 13, was denied entry to a VIP area at a concert despite paying £550 for tickets. The incident occurred at Manchester's Co-Op Live arena, where Tillie and her friends were mistakenly directed to the wrong queue, resulting in them missing their VIP experience. Sue recounted picking up an upset Tillie and criticized the arena's organization, stating that by the time they were allowed in, the VIP lounge was closed. She sought advice from her 535,000 Instagram followers on how to address the situation, tagging the venue's official account and sharing a screenshot of the tickets. This incident adds to recent scrutiny of the Radford family, who faced backlash for their dietary choices during a holiday. Sue's frustrations were compounded by the emotional milestone of her youngest child transitioning from nursery to primary school.
