• Front standing ticket holders have been divided into two pit zones of 9,429 and 11,714 capacity, and organisers have issued wristband rules to clarify entry and movement after fan confusion.
• Transport for Greater Manchester reports over 80,000 tram and shuttle journeys during the first two shows and is operating extra services and dedicated buses from the Northern Quarter to manage heavy passenger flow.
