Ahead of the highly-awaited gig, the Liverpool Olympia issued a statement warning that overnight queuing is ‘not safe’ and there is no cloakroom is operation.
In a statement on Thursday (February 5), a spokesperson for Liverpool Olympia said: “ We're looking forward to welcoming you to the Liverpool Olympia for the sold out Robbie Williams Long 90's show.
“We are expecting harshly cold weather, and the venue is on a busy main road with narrow pavements, so early queueing is not safe, nor do we allow overnight queueing/camping.
“We also cannot provide any welfare for ticket holders, such as water or toilet facilities before our doors open.”
The venue said “we are thinking of your safety” and advised fans against early queuing, adding that “enthusiasm to attend this show and our venue is appreciated”.
The statement continued: “We must also advise that the Olympia Car Park is not owned or managed by the venue; this is operated by a third party and requires payment for parking.
“Our doors will open at 6:30pm welcoming you to our venue, where you can enjoy a drink and get ready to enjoy the show. Please be aware, bag searches will be in place and may slow entry. Please do not bring anything bigger than an A4 bag as there is no cloakroom in operation. Please have your tickets ready to scan.
“The Liverpool Olympia Team are excited to welcome you to this event, and we hope you enjoy the show and our venue.”
Robbie will perform at London’s O2 Academy Brixton on Sunday, February 8, followed by Civic Hall in Wolverhampton on Monday, February 9.
