Dear Resident

Our Top 10 Tips on Concert Safety | Have Fun Responsibly

Attending a concert is an unforgettable experience, from the joy of music to the energy of a crowd. It’s a chance to see your favourite artists live in a shared space surrounded by other fans!

However, amidst the excitement, it’s essential to prioritise concert safety to ensure everyone has a good time. Ignoring safety measures can quickly turn a great night into a problematic situation.

That's why we're sharing our top 10 tips on concert safety in today's alert:

1. Know Before You Go

Before the day of the concert, take the time to do thorough research about the venue and the event itself.

Also, make sure that you are aware of any items that aren’t allowed into the venue to avoid any last-minute disappointment. You don’t want to have to leave your trusty Stanley Cup out in the cold because you can’t take your own drink inside!

2. Use a Buddy System

A key aspect of concert safety is attending with a partner, friends or family members. Going with a buddy not only makes the whole experience more fun but also keeps you safer.

Agree on a meeting point in case you get separated, and try to stay together, especially in large crowds where it’s easy to get lost. 

3. Stay Hydrated

it's crucial to stay hydrated — especially if the concert is outdoors on a hot day.  

While enjoying a few drinks might be part of the concert experience for some, it’s important to consume alcohol in moderation. Being intoxicated can impair your judgement, making concert safety a concern.

4. Protect Your Hearing

It's a good idea to get some quality earplugs to take to the event with you. Modern versions are great, lowering the volume without distorting the sound quality.

5. Keep Your Phone Charged

Make sure your phone's fully charged before you head to the concert. It’s key for staying in touch, finding your way around, and handling emergencies.

You know how quickly a phone's battery can drain, especially when you're taking videos of the show or checking out for stage times. And if you’re posting on social media or texting to coordinate with friends, that battery life goes even faster!

A portable charger is a lifesaver, ensuring you don’t end up with a dead phone when you need it most, like when you’re trying to find your car or catch a ride home.

6. Plan Your Travel

Make sure you sort out how you're getting to the concert ahead of time. Don't forget to plan your way back home too.

7. Stay Alert

While you’re there to relax and have fun at the concert, it’s really important to stay aware of what’s going on around you. Keep an eye out for anything that seems off or any trouble brewing, and steer clear of sketchy situations.

And if you do spot something that could be a crime, make sure you tell security 

8. Dress Comfortably

If it’s an outdoor gig, be ready for the weather to switch up on you. 

9. Follow Venue Rules

Every venue has its own rules to keep things safe and fun for everyone — that's part of ensuring concert safety.

10. Have Fun Responsibly

The whole reason you're going to a concert is to have a blast and really get into the music. Just remember to be considerate of others and stay conscious of your own wellbeing and safety.
