A STILL Game star was gutted to learn that the Glasgow Hydro's "money-making" scheme has been removed.
The concert venue previously introduced a recycling system where guests purchase reusable cups for drinks and return them at the end of the show where they will earn £1 per cup.
After the scheme came into action in March 2022, it led to concert-goers collecting as many cups as they could to try and reap the rewards despite the six cups per person rule.
But the system has since been removed by the venue and one visitor left disappointed was Still Game's Jane McCarry.
The actress, known for her role as Isa in the comedy series, attended the Hydro at the weekend to see Take That.
She shared a video of her stacking the reusable cups into big piles to get £1 for each one - but her hopes were crushed when a staff member told her that the venue no longer does the exchange.
It is unclear when the scheme was removed, but a statement on the venue's website and the SEC website reads: "We have removed our £1 deposit to make the process of buying a drink and returning your cup more streamlined for everyone and hope you will support us on this new venture."
The Scottish Event Campus was contacted for comment.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
