Event checklist
Only bring essential items nothing of value.
Don't leave anything in your car ; remove the stereo if possible.
Zip your cash and car keys away ; don't let them jingle around in open pockets.
Bring your ticket!
What not to bring
Do not bring offensive weapons or anything that may be considered offensive. Don’t bring Illegal drugs - Drugs, hard or soft, are no more legal at music events than they are anywhere else the same penalties and risks apply. However, don't be afraid to tell medical staff or stewards if something is going wrong for you.
Drink responsibly
If you do drink, don't do drunk! Excessive drinking is bad for your health and your memory - surely you want to remember Rock The House 2007 for the right reasons! Pace yourself, and have a great time. After all this, however, you may decide to have the odd pint of shandy, and you can be sure to get home safely – use public transport.
Plan your day
Once on site it is important to plan your day. Obviously the priority is making sure you get to see the acts that mean the most to you - come back to this website a few days before the show and all band times will be listed so you can plan in advance. Don’t forget some other basics though - If you are with friends and are travelling home together - arrange a place & time to meet up at the end of the night. Large crowds, a long day & hot weather in combination will tire you out. Make sure you pace yourself, drink plenty of water, eat some food that will give you some energy and minimise sun exposure.
Safety and security
ALWAYS...
- Know where your nearest emergency exits are
- Follow the instructions of Security Personnel, Police or other officials
- Move away promptly from any danger
- Notify a Steward, Police or Official if you see any any antisocial behaviour
- Move to where there is more space, should a crowd surge occur
- Ask for help if you need it and help others, especially if someone falls
