5. Soundcheck Club already took place in full on the day of the original show, so tickets for that have been used & won’t be reissued.

According to reports from those at the show, security became very heavy-handed with crowdsurfers and fans along the barricade. Neck Deep were quick to step in and defend their fans, causing security to then get involved with the band and their crew. 

Several videos of security getting rough with fans have surfaced from the show, and both the band and the venue released statements regarding the situation at the Nottingham Rock City show. You can read those here.
