My tickets state 'General Admission'. What does that mean?

General Admission refers to seating or standing areas that are not assigned or reserved, and are occupied on a first-come, first-served basis. When purchasing tickets for a General Admission event, you may be quoted section, row, and seat numbers, however these are for inventory purposes only and do not reflect any actual seating location. Please ensure you carefully read the event information and ticket information when purchasing tickets: Any information on whether your tickets are General Admission will be posted here. The Stone Roses concert @ Finsbury Park is fully standing


How do I find out when the concert starts and finishes?

We only advertise the doors time at the point of purchase and on the ticket, unless otherwise stated.

All advertised times are subject to change and we strongly recommend you check via this website prior to your departure for any information on the provisional show times. They are always provisional due to the nature of a live event and the fact anything can happen! FOR THIS SHOW THE GATES OPEN AT 4PM AND THERE IS A CURFEW OF 10.30PM


How do I get a press/photographers pass for a concert/event?

Press/photographers passes are issued by either the concert promoter or the artist's management company and you would need to contact them directly for further assistance.


What do I do if my tickets are lost or stolen?

Please contact your point of purchase if your tickets have been lost or stolen.


Box Office collection

I have chosen to collect my tickets from the box office, how do I do this?

The tickets should be collected by the credit/debit card holder. Box office times vary from event to event but on the whole they will be available within the hour before the start of the event. You will need to quote the reference number and take the credit/debit card used to make the booking as identification.

If you want someone else to collect the tickets, please consider that the cardholder should be present when collecting tickets held for collection at the venue. This is necessary for reasons of fraud prevention. In some cases it may be possible for the cardholder to give the person collecting the tickets a letter of authorisation to pass to the venue, allowing them to collect the tickets on their behalf. Please check with your vendor if they will allow this.

However, at any time the venue box office or the promoter of a particular show may change their rules and stop accepting Letters of authority and refuse entry.

We cannot accept any responsibility should this happen and we advise customers that any booking made for collection should only be collected by the credit card holder.

If you have lost your credit / debit card and you need to collect your tickets, please contact us. You will be advised to take with you a credit card/bank statement, ideally the one with the transaction on it. You will also need to take along your confirmation code and some alternative ID, preferably with a photograph and signature.

It is imperative that you do contact us as we need to inform the venue prior to your arrival.

The Box office for The Stone Roses concert @ Finsbury Park is located outside Gate 1

Why can't I take in any type of chair, such as deck chairs etc?

Unfortunately, in past events where this has been allowed, people have simply set up their chairs in the location they want to watch the event, but when the main act has started their set, crowds naturally migrate towards the stage and there were major crowd problems with people falling over objects they were not expecting or could see. Because of this, no chairs of any kind are permitted to any of our outdoor events

An Important Message from the Metropolitan Police

Customer Notice to all Stone Roses Concert goers

Please be aware that there is a Street Drinking Zone around Finsbury Park station (London borough of Islington) which prevents any person from drinking alcohol from open vessels. There will be a large police presence on both days actively enforcing the Street Drinking zone to ensure there is no on street drinking. Please be advised to drink responsibly and not try to enter the concert in an intoxicated state as you will refused entry if you are deemed unfit through either drink or drugs.

The Metropolitan and British Transport Police will do everything they can to make sure people have an enjoyable time at events and offer the following advice:

Being careful, and taking some simple precautions, can reduce the risk of you becoming a victim. Here are some steps to help you have a safe and enjoyable concert:

Avoid taking unnecessary valuables with you - only take what you really need. Take the serial numbers and descriptions of your valuables.

Register your mobile phone IMEI number and the serial numbers of other valuables for FREE on www.immobilise.com or similar property registration sites.

Avoid displaying your phone and valuables unnecessarily, for example photographing or recording the bands.

If you travel by car, lock and empty it of valuables and leave the glove compartment open and conspicuously empty.

Be aware that in a crowded environment, where contact with other people is unavoidable, thieves will try to unzip/unbutton pockets and bags.

Be aware of the behaviour of those around you. Report anything suspicious to a security guard or police officer.

Stick with your friends and identify a suitable meeting point so if you do get split up you can find each other even if someone has lost their phone or had it stolen.

If you lose your mobile phone ensure that you contact your network provider to ask for the SIM card and handset to be blocked.

When using a credit or debit card shield the keypad to protect your PIN.

Use the same common sense as you would on any other night out and:

  • Drink responsibly
  • Look after your friends
  • Walk away from trouble
