“We took the decision to price the final nights at £20 with free tickets for the new venue,” he said.
“We had to do something – if we just went for the normal price we would have had 2,000 people outside and it would have been mayhem.
“Nothing has changed really – you’re still paying £5, but you get four tickets, one for the final night at the old Snobs and three at the new one.
“It is not that we are taking advantage – we just had to do something because we didn’t want thousands of people stuck outside.”
The first night at the new Snobs, which will hold up to 1,400 people, will be September 24.
The move has been the talk of Twitter in the past year, with Snobs holding a unique place in the heart of people from Birmingham.
