THEY were one of the most wanted Christmas presents of the year but selfie sticks are not welcome at one of Brighton’s top entertainment venues.
Bosses at the Brighton Centre have told a trade magazine that customers should leave the sticks, which are designed to make it easier for narcissists to take pictures of themselves, at home if they are attending gigs or other events at the seafront venue.
A spokesman for the Brighton Centre told ConferenceNews: “Selfies are a big part of modern day culture and we welcome them but please leave the stick at home as you may be asked politely to ’put it away’ because the experience and comfort of all our customers is paramount.”
