It was announced that the doors are to open at 6pm and the public is urged to find its way early to the venue to avoid last-minute rush and delays caused by possible traffic congestion.
The concert will be starting at 8pm sharp. People arriving later will not be able to enter until the interval i.e. approximately one hour later.
The public is being invited to carefully follow the signage to be put up along the road leading towards the venue. Diamond ticket holders should follow special signage directing them towards VIP reserved parking.
A special drop-off/pick-up point is being reserved outside the entrance to the venue to enable people arriving with taxis or mini-vans to be dropped off/picked up.

It should be noted that the VIP parking will be reserved for those attending the post-concert dinner at the Portomaso Car Park on Level –3. There will be a security service on site to assist patrons as they arrive at the Car Park.
