Your consulting group has been hired by a national promoter to handle risk management and crowd control for a Providence stop on the tour of a popular recording artist. The concert will be at an open air outdoor stadium that is used primarily for football. A state will be built in the end zone and about 6,000 folding chairs will be used for on-field seating; permanent bleachers will also be used. The event capacity is 15,000 and it expected to sell out. Advanced ticket sales are 12,000 with walk-up sales and will call open one hour prior to gates open. There is one main entrance and one side entrance. Concessions will be open and beer will be sold.
Beer is being sold at the concert. What are your concerns and how do you address them?
