This year I have been presented with 'Crowd Management Plans" written by safety officers with no crowd safety experience (it added uo to 83 words in total) A security plan that doesn't have any CT or contingency planning, a major event in which the head of security is unable to write a Crowd Management plan nor did they have ANY experience of running events this size and, a company who's planning is done remotely and the author doesn't actually visit site. it seems lately I am reviewing other peoples planning docs more and more and I have to say it doesn't bode well for our industry, that's right I said industry ...... we are not security although there is undoubtedly and element of security we are not part of the safety team. Crowd management is an industry, a specialty and in some cases a gift but in all cases it requires lots of study backed with years of operational experience, umpteen mistakes uncountable near misses and millions of deep sighs of relief after a safe, "successful" event. A good crowd management team can change the complexion of the event entirely. When done well you would never know they're there and that's exactly how it should be. the person who plans the event should be there to lead it and the security team thoroughly briefed to ensure correct application. Security companies that add "crowd management" to their website without the qualifications, proper planning capabilities, capacity for correct application and commitment to the process should face prosecution under the trade discription act I hope the Boardmasters incident is reviewed properly and its findings published so the "industry" can learn from its findings and. we can continue to ensure our kids come home safe in one piece!

The purpose of the Festival of Place is to host a welcoming and inclusive conversation and create a built environment industry where everyone belongs and can participate in the conversation about the future of UK places – where people and nature thrive. It also improves the event, prevents groupthink, welcomes in fresh and diverse voices and challenges preconceptions. To make this happen, I need your help. Together, we must create a safe space as speakers and attendees: To be kind and respectful to each other, to put aside cynicism and open up to new ways of thinking and being, and approach the day in the spirit of learning and listening.

Tickets for Kacey Musgraves' Deeper Well World Tour started pre-sales yesterday, with tickets officially being sold to the public this upcoming Friday. After details regarding ticket pricing for the tour were released, some fans online voiced disappointment that the tour uses dynamic pricing. So, what is dynamic pricing? When a tour or specific event chooses to use dynamic pricing, the prices of each ticket will fluctuate based on demand for each show. As a result, two people sitting in the same section at a venue might have paid drastically different prices to attend the event, depending on how in demand the show was deemed at the time of purchase. Fans who have purchased tickets through the tour's pre-sale events have documented specific price points based on the location of each seat. The KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Kentucky, where Kacey Musgraves will perform on November 12, created a seating graph showing how each seat is initially priced. However, the bottom of the image includes a disclaimer stating that the prices can change at any time. What are your thoughts on tours using dynamic prices to sell tickets? #dodgemojo #BRJL305 #countrymusic #KaceyMusgraves #DeeperWellWorldTour
