Disabled Westlife fans told to stand at Glasgow gig, or go home and get a refund

"If you are unable to stand or prefer not to, you will be entitled to a full refund from your original point of purchase." "Westlife are delighted to be back in Glasgow and are very much looking forward to what will be a great night." "On behalf of the promoter of the event we apologise for any frustration or disappointment this may cause and appreciate your understanding." The result? A large number of fans with disabilities had to go home, missing the concert. One fan spoke about her experience to The Mirror, explaining what happened: "I don't go to concerts to stand because my asthma is too bad, small enclosed spaces don't work for me." "I was told when I got here I could stand or get a full refund. That's all." "I asked for a wheelchair for my disabled mother and was told she can either deal with it and stand or go home and come back to the Hydro tomorrow for a refund, so I've got to drive all way back to Glasgow for a refund."
