I feel your pain. I'd recommend 6 pints of scrumpy and a pack of Temazepam (although I'm technically not actually a doctor).
I thought they only served prosecco at Take That concerts as it's the only thing the audience drinks.
When I lived in Manchester we had a mate who worked security at the Etihad. He always said the worst days for trouble weren't the Manchester derbies, or the likes of Oasis or any massive lad rock band.... it was Take That. Pissed up Lambrini mums causing trouble AOTS.
I did a lot of event security work until my health issues a couple of years ago and out of all the gigs I ever worked at (at venues like The Roundhouse, Hammersmith Apollo, Wembley Arena, Wembley Stadium, The O2, Tottenham Stadium and The London Stadium) the worst crowd was for the Spice Girls reunion shows at Wembley Stadium. The "lambrini mums" who'd started drinking at 10am that day and were 3/4's pissed by the time the venue opened - we turned so many away that day. Fighting, pissing on the concourse because they were too drunk to find a toilet, falling over and smashing their faces on the concrete floor. All staff was so glad when the show finished and we got rid of them all.
The next worse was at The KissFM Halloween Haunted House shows at Wembley Arena just before the lockdown. 95% of the audience were travellers, who'd decided amongst themselves that that was the night to settle inter family scores. Fighting each other everywhere. In the end, The Met locked down the whole of the Wembley park area, until the dickheads had all gone.
