First things first, safety is a priority, especially during the pandemic. So usual face control will not be enough. When organizing a concert, consider the laws regarding the number of people allowed during gatherings, make sure that people enter the venue with masks, and have the necessary amount of hydro-alcoholic gel available in the area.
Other vital considerations are inviting local staff, talent booking, and verified regional fan-residency within a safe geographic radius and Biometric ID measures. Crowd Monitoring issues can be solved via AI usage, cashless transactions, bundled concessions, and tech solutions for reducing lines and crowd congestion, including guiding and engagement across event spaces. These instructions are most useful in organizing small events.
However, a definite trend of the year in event organization was drive-in concerts that immediately went viral. Their management differs from usual concert management not only because of the pandemic restrictions, but because of their format itself. You have to consider everything from the area choice to the space between the cars and the bathroom issues. All of it may seem a nightmare you don’t want to participate in but do not give up as MusicPromoToday is right by your side.
