Guardianship arrangements
In order for you to be able to enter, you must of course have bought tickets and filled in a guardianship form which you send back in good time before the concert. NB! It's a good idea to send this in fairly quickly as there are limited guardianship arrangements per concert. You can find the guardianship form Here!
The rules are: up to two people under 18 come in accompanied by a sober adult over 25. Everyone will be tagged with their own wristband at the door, and guardians cannot consume alcohol during the concert. Persons under 18 must leave the premises immediately after the end of the concert.
