Can I Camp over night for tickets? 
The City Hall does not advise customers queuing or camping over night before a show concert.

Following previous incidents that have occurred whilst customers queued overnight, we owe a duty of care to anyone who decides to queue on our land and it was clear after investigations that we were not in a position to fulfill this obligation.

We are unable to provide security and staff to monitor the queue in order to ensure safety. Further the area isn't suitable for people camping due to the location and the close proximity to clubs, pubs and bars. We also have no services available such as toilet and wash facilities for the customers.

We are fully aware that for some fans queuing to buy tickets is part of the fan experience. We are not trying to prevent this, but simply place manageable parameters to enable customers to be able to purchase tickets safely.
