Scottish Exhibition + Conference Centre (SECC) was ready and operational and therefore contractually obliged to make the venue available to present the show last night.
Frankie Boyle was also legally required to present the show given that he had managed to travel from England to get to the venue and the staging and production had arrived and was in place.
Given that over 4,500 fans turned up on the night it was also the right thing to do for those fans who had travelled and who would have been left severely disappointed if the show had been cancelled.
However there were just under 4,500 other fans who were unable to attend the show.
The promoter, management team and artist have however confirmed that there will be no additional performances of the Frankie Boyle show and the statement below has been released by them:
“While we fully understand the frustration of those fans of Frankie who couldn't make it to the gig tonight, we have an obligation to all ticket holders to go ahead with a show when we possibly can. More than half the audience did manage to make it to the SECC and Frankie did not want to disappoint them.
Frankie says: "Lots of people had travelled long distances to see the show, so obviously we had to go ahead."
In these adverse weather conditions, we appreciate that some people could struggle to get to Frankie's remaining shows. However, in order not to let down all those fans who can make it to the venues, wherever possible we fully intend for these shows to go ahead.”
It is the SECC’s understanding that the promoter and artist management will not be making refunds given that the show went ahead as planned. For further information the following contact details have been provided by the promoter:
