One Direction fans under a certain age might not get in to their stadium 'gigs'

  • April 16, 2014

One Direction newOne Direction fans under the age of 12 who have brought standing tickets for the band's forth­com­ing 'gig' in Sunderland won't be allowed in due to the venue's safety rules.

The city's Stadium of Light — the first stop on the Where We Are world tour — says under-12s will not be allowed to enter if they have a standing ticket, while anyone under the age of 16 has to be with an adult.

Obviously people under 12 with a seated ticket are more than welcome.

But what does head of security and safety at Sunderland, Paul Weir, have to say about it all?

"The age restric­tions are laid down by the promoter to ensure the safety of everyone attending the show, which is a very different dynamic to anything we have staged at the Stadium of Light pre­vi­ously," he mused to the BBC.

The first Sunderland show is May 28, 'FYI'.
