Sue Radford has expressed her fury that her daughter was not given the VIP treatment at a Manchester concert.
The 49-year-old mother of 22 said she spent £550 on a ticket to Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena for her 13-year-old daughter Tillie.
“I picked up a very upset Tillie from Co-Op Live last night,” she fumed on Instagram.
‘We paid for VIP lounge tickets with 3pm entry. The girls got in the WRONG line even after asking several people where they needed to go.
‘This mix-up meant the girls were deprived of their VIP treatment.
‘When they were let in at 6pm, the lounge was closed and they were not in the area we paid for.’
While Sue didn’t specify who Tillie would be seeing at the concert, Indian Playback singer Arijit Singh performed the night before Sue’s post.

Sue Radford took to Instagram to express her anger at her daughter Tillie’s disappointing experience at the Co-Op Live arena in Manchester.
The protective mother made an appeal to her 535,000 followers on Instagram: “As you can imagine, we are not happy. Does anyone know how we can get in touch with them? What poor organisation.”
To make her point clear, Sue shared a screenshot of the tickets and tagged the official Co-Op Live Arena account.
“This is what we paid for. This is what we didn’t get,” he said.
According to OK!, the Radfords have an estimated net worth of £1 million.
Thanks to Channel 5’s 22 Kids & Counting, which first aired in February 2021, and Channel 4’s previous series 16 Kids and Counting, which dates back to 2012, “Britain’s biggest family” has achieved celebrity status.
Sue and her husband Noel, 53, have been married for more than 30 years, and the Lancashire-based couple now run The Radford Pie Company with the help of some of their children.

(L to R, bottom row) Aimee, 11, Tilly, 7, Max, 8, Casper, 4, Oscar, 5, and James, 13.
During a trip to Orlando earlier this month, Sue Radford’s children met Thor on the Disney cruise ship.
They are parents to Chris, 34, Sophie, 29, Chloe, 28, Jack, 26, Daniel, 24, Luke, 22, Millie, 22, Katie, 20, James, 19, Ellie, 18, Aimee, 17, Josh, 16, Max, 14, Tillie, 13, Oscar, 11, Casper, 10, Hallie, eight, Phoebe, seven, Archie, six, Bonnie, four, and Heidie, three.
However, Sue and Noel have not ruled out expanding their family even further.
They told OK!: “We love being around kids so I would love to adopt or foster a child. We’re not going to have any more kids of our own so it’s definitely something we’ll think about when ours are older.”
Earlier this month, the Radfords enjoyed a vacation in Florida, where they visited the southern US state’s famous theme parks and boarded a Disney cruise bound for the Caribbean.
Her September trip, which was well documented on social media, marked her seventh US vacation in just two years.
Sue filmed a video of four of her excited children meeting superhero Thor on the cruise.
The video was subtitled: “The happiness that is reflected in our children’s faces every day is worth it. They are creating the best memories that will last a lifetime.”
Two of the Radford children were photographed in one of the ship’s luxurious dining rooms dressed as a king and queen.
The family also enjoyed an afternoon tea consisting of finger foods, biscuits, macaroons and four different desserts.
Sue and Noel then headed to the bar and posted a photo with the caption “Mummy and daddy time” as they ordered a round of fancy cocktails.
The family particularly enjoyed watching the musical Frozen on board the ship and raved about it on social media.
During their trip, the family enjoyed afternoon tea, which included sandwiches, cookies, macaroons and four different desserts.
Sue said: ‘This show was amazing, the kids loved it.’
One of the highlights for the children was riding the water slides, which got them very tired.
Sue posted a picture of her daughters in bed with the caption: ‘A tired Bonnie, an excited Heidie.’
This was not the Radford clan’s first experience in Orlando, as the family visited the resort in April of this year, August and April of 2023, and August and April of 2022.
The Radfords have also spent their holidays in other exotic locations, including the Maldives and Dubai.
They also frequently travel around the UK and Europe in their £40,000 motorhome.
