Where we pay close attention
- Controlled entry
- Guests come in through set entry points rather than by any route they find.
- Security searches
- Checks at the entrance for items that are not allowed into the venue.
- Crowd management
- Keeping the movement of guests orderly from arrival to departure, most of all when attendance peaks.
- Ushers
- People posted to direct guests to their seats and areas and to answer questions.
- Theft prevention
- Watching for theft of guests’ belongings and of the event’s property.
