Crowd Management

Crowd management involves a significant amount of science and mathematics as well as an understanding of how attendees act while part of a crowd. It looks at factors such as rates of entry, crowd densities/ flows and capacities throughout all phases of your event.

The physical area, site suitability, audience profile and crowd dynamics are a few of many elements that need to be considered. Shared circulation areas, such as transit, front of stage and bar areas also need careful consideration, especially during busy periods such as popular acts on stage or egress. On top of this there is also the potential for freak occurrences such as extreme weather conditions, which can impact on the safe circulation of attendees and are becoming more common. All contingencies must be planned for.

We can ensure you have everything covered, from assessing your site and operations, to providing you with a thorough crowd management plan covering all phases of your event, from last mile and arrival through ingress and circulation to egress and dispersal.
