Bristol’s (UK) Aviva Arena has unveiled a premium hospitality membership program ahead of its planned 2028 opening.

The membership program will offer best seats in the house with unparalleled hospitality offerings.

‘Music Week’ stated that currently under construction on the site where Concorde was built the 20,000-capacity arena is set to be the first venue of its size in the South West of England.

The Bristol Arena, known as the Aviva Arena for sponsorship reasons, and formerly as the YTL Arena Bristol, is a 20,000-capacity indoor arena currently under construction and is to be located within the Filton Airfield’s former Brabazon hangar.

The Brabazon Hangar at the former Filton Airfield in Bristol, England (UK) is a massive historic aircraft assembly hall built in the late 1940s to construct the giant Bristol Brabazon airliner.

Bristol’s Aviva Arena (formerly known as the YTL Arena Bristol) is being built inside the historic Brabazon Hangars at the former Filton Airfield – which is the exact location where every United Kingdom-built Concorde supersonic jet was designed, built and tested.

Supersonic VIP Program

‘Music Week’ further stated that its newly announced Supersonic VIP program will include the private suites, the 100 Club restaurant and a pre-show hub Sonic Lounge.

Economy Boost

Operated by YTL Live, the arena is estimated to contribute £1 billion to the local economy over the first decade of operation and create more than 2,000 jobs during construction with up to a further 500 permanent roles once it is operational. An estimated 1.4 million people are expected to attend events at the venue each year.
