Bon Jovi CT: All you need to know

Cape Town - Big Concerts have released transport information and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for the Cape Town leg of Bon Jovi's South African tour on Tuesday, 7 May at the Cape Town Stadium.

Fans are urged to take note of the rules and instructions listed below to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience on the day.

Bon Jovi FAQs for the Cape Town concert:

1. Gates open at 17:00. Please arrive early to avoid queues. Opening act starts at 19:45 and main act at 21:00 until 23:00.

2. If you have a GOLDEN CIRCLE STANDING ticket enter through the gates at Granger Bay Boulevard into Fort Wynyard (P2) parking, follow the signage.

3. If you have a GENERAL ADMISSION STANDING ticket enter through turnstiles 12-18 on Granger Bay Boulevard.

4. If you have a SEATED ticket you must enter through either the Main Turnstiles 1 –11 at McDonalds or North Turnstiles 19 to 22 off Beach Road.

5. If you bought your tickets online (print at home) please make sure you print out your E-ticket, fold it as indicated on the ticket prior to arriving at the event to avoid creasing and damaging the barcodes, and ensure that you bring your E-ticket with you to the venue as we cannot reprint E-tickets at the venue for safety - and security reasons. Your E-ticket needs to be of high print quality to ensure a positive scan at the venue. Please note we cannot scan tickets off any mobile device.

6. For E-tickets purchased from bigconcerts.co.za, please review your printer settings before you print. The document must print to its actual size so that the folding lines print to the edge of the paper. If the document is fit to print to the paper size it will print the barcode too far away from the edge of the paper, and the barcode scanners at the turnstiles will be unable to read your ticket.

7.  Don't forget to bring with you on the day:
* Tickets
* ID (if you intend to consume alcohol)
* cash (no ATMs on site)
* appropriate clothing for any weather conditions

8. Umbrellas, cameras or recording devices including iPads are NOT permitted.

9. Food and beverage will be available for sale inside the stadium. No alcohol may be brought to the stadium and security will refuse entry into the venue to any persons that are heavily intoxicated.
