No one under 12 years, or anyone that is shorter than 1.2 metres, will be permitted onto the Front Zone Standing or General Admission field standing areas for safety and security reasons. Please note: Security will strictly monitor this requirement and anyone not meeting these requirements will be relocated to alternative seats in the stands. If you refuse to be relocated they reserve the right to confiscate your event ticket.
Please note: You risk missing the show without the option of a refund if you chose to ignore this very important safety & security requirement. Please contact Computicket before the day of the show to swap your tickets for seated tickets if you do not meet these minimum requirements.
No disabled persons will be allowed on the field for safety and security reasons.
Emergency Contact Details
Children between the ages of 14-18 years of age who are not accompanied by a parent / guardian must have an emergency contact number for their parent / guardian saved under the name ICE on their mobile phones.
If you don’t have a mobile phone, or if you are concerned that you will run out of battery on your mobile phone, please write this information on a piece of paper and keep it safely on your person.
Please ensure that you write your name and surname, that of your parent / guardian, and emergency contact details clearly in bold capital letters.
Please make sure your mobile phone is fully charged before leaving for the concert. There are no mobile charging stations at the event, and you are advised to close all non-essential applications such as Facebook and Twitter and switch off all non-essential services such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi when your mobile phone reaches 20% battery capacity.
Lost & Found (missing persons at the concert)
They have set up a Lost and Found hub at the venue, which is located at Lift Lobby U
Please print this map out and educate those attending on how to find this facility in the event that they are separated from their group, parent / guardian.
They have also set up a dedicated call centre number which can be reached on 0861 782 3486 should you need to contact the Lost and Found hub. This number can be used for all incidents, queries and emergencies and will be in operation the day of the event as well as after the event.
They will be employing dedicated Chaperones that will be stationed throughout the stadium. They will be easily identifiable, and their sole purpose is to ensure your safety and security.
For unaccompanied minors, it is advisable for parents to educate their children about the inherent dangers of attending large- events. Do not talk to strangers, do not accept food or beverages from strangers, and do not get into a vehicle with strangers. Always adhere to the instructions from security. If you are in a situation where you feel unsafe or uncomfortable always put your safety first and approach the nearest security steward or chaperone or call 0861 782 3486 for assistance.
The Lost & Found hub inside the venue is at Lift Lobby U and is only accessible by those with a valid event ticket during the event. We have therefore created the Connection Hub at the Drop & Stay/Go point which is to the South of the Stadium over the train bridge at Gate K on Landbou Road (see map) for anyone outside the venue wishing to connect to someone inside, or if you have already left the venue and cannot connect with someone on the outside of the venue.
After the show all Lost & Found persons from the Lost & Found hub will be chaperoned to the Connection Hub at the Drop & Stay/Go point where they can wait in a secure environment to connect with those responsible for taking them home.
Security, chaperones, the event organisers and SAPS will not leave the venue until every person in the precinct has left.
