The £3.5m development includes a large auditorium with a capacity of 2,100 which allows patrons to move between stalls and balcony all tickets are sold on a general admission basis and there is no seating except in the disabled area. There is also a secondary smaller room O2 Academy2, emulating the success of its multi-room format at other AMG venues across the country, to hold 500.
