Fans of One Direction under the age of 12 might face an anxious wait to see if they'll be admitted to One Direction's series of Croke Park concerts this summer, after health and safety laws in various UK venues were found to stipulate that under 12's are banned from entering stadium venues with a standing ticket.
Fans aged 12-16 will only be admitted in the company on an adult for the pop group's upcoming Stadium of Light show in Sunderland. The venue's head of security told BBC Newsnight that "the age restrictions are laid down by the promoter to ensure the safety of everyone attending the show, which is a very different dynamic to anything we'd staged at the Stadium of Light previously."
Under 12s will be admitted with seated tickets. At present it is unclear whether or not these rules will also apply to One Direction's Croke Park concerts on 23rd, 24th and 25th of May.
