Essay Analysing Crowd Control

I think company’s look at how popular the event is not only in the present day but also how popular it can become, I also think they look at what percentage of their target market attend those events, and of course they look at how much money can be made at a single event.

The third viable alternative for the festival is to use the market penetration strategy. It has been observed that a lot of people have been unable to attend the festival because of out-of-reach places and scarcity of tickets. Thus, if the

From a human resources standpoint, FNL currently has a great relationship with its clientele and is rich with performers and entertainers eager to take part in the events. This is demonstrated by the growth of visitors to 25,000 in the last season with additional growth expected. By last year’s numbers alone, 2,800 visitors can be expected, demonstrating the objective is not out of reach (see Exhibit 1). As the venue’s maximum operational capacity is limited 5,000 people, a sellout is plausible, creating a feel of exclusivity, encouraging people to buy their tickets in advance. A sold out event would be a huge success not only in achieving the desired attendance, but also for the future episodes in the

Suspicious Persons Out of Place - People who don’t seem to belong in the Stadium workplace, neighbourhood, business establishment, spectator or anywhere else should be coordinated with police

Social control theory has become one of the more widely accepted explanations in the field of criminology in its attempt to account for rates in crime and deviant behavior. Unlike theories that seek to explain why people engage in deviant behavior, social control theories approach deviancy from a different direction, questioning why people refrain from violating established norms, rules, and moralities. The theory seeks to explain how the normative systems of rules and obligations in a given society serve to maintain a strong sense of social cohesion, order and conformity to widely accepted and established norms. Central to this theory is a perspective which predicts that deviant behavior is much more likely to emerge when

Research of social impact of events is one of the emerging topics in event management literature and has a great degree of importance for a variety of different reasons considering their short term, high profile and a relatively profound effect on everyday life of local communities. (Ritchie

An emergent property to the Hillsborough system is a basic as a crowd. A crowd does not exist on its own, but rather comes to exist when it is comprised of many types of stakeholders (spectators, stewards, police, and more) in the context of a specific space (the stadium). An ergonomist is clearly not required to identify a crowd as being a component of the system, but an ergonomic approach can reveal the properties of that crowd and how it impacts the

One of the main responsibilities of a facility manager to control a crowd is to account for every spectator that has entered into the facility. Facility managers should be able to anticipate and recognize and potential crowd management problems. Movement throughout the facility is a major safety concern and is just as important as the ingress and egress of patrons (Ammon et al, 2004, p. 145). It is the facility manager’s role to ensure vendors are not blocking emergency evacuation routes as well as ensuring spectators are not loitering in aisles or thoroughfares.

We can take some of the examples of the risks factors that often occur in an event. Size of crowds and over capacity crowds could be under control if under good management. Event management team must think of the worst case will happened to the size of the crowds and what can they do to prevent over capacity crowds. There are normally a lot of people got faint and even died due to an over-crowded space in a certain concert. Why was it happened? Some of the concert organizers want to earn the money as much as they can. They don't care about the capacity of the people, for instance, the venue has capacity of 200 people. But they want to sell tickets to more than 200 people, and they have 20 security guards .It is still fine if the audience sitting and enjoying the music. But the thing became bad when the audience became crazy as they saw their idol singing on the stage. They jump on the chair, they push each others, and some even run towards the stage so that they can get closer with their idol. The limited security guards can't help in this situation. If they want to sell more ticket, then they should find a bigger capacity venue, such as outdoor stadium. So that there isn't lack of oxygen, which will cause the faint. And they should also hire more security guards. Thus, risk management is very important for an event, it can help to avoid tragedy happens.

Ultra Music Festival (UMF) is a yearly open air electronic music celebration that happens in March in the city of Miami, Florida, United States (DURAN, 2013).In this report I have analysed about the ultra-Miami festival event in USA and what is behind the success of the event. Events rarely succeed or fail it is totally depending on the scheduling and who all are the stakeholders are supporting the particular event. For a successful event there are several potential goals to satisfy and a plethora of stakeholders to involve (Presenza, 2012). Festivals are mostly unique in the events sector how the stakeholders are involved in the events. Media is mainly involved in a group way in television and
