Glasgow councillors have backed the introduction of a new £1 levy on tickets for "mega-gigs" in the city - with the proceeds used to support small music venues. The levy would apply to the 14,300 capacity OVO Hydro which regularly hosts major artists, potentially raising hundreds of thousands of pounds each year.
