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.
