JOHANNESBURG - Big Concerts and FNB Stadium management say security has been significantly improved for singer Ed Sheeran’s concert this weekend.

However, the organisers say there will be detailed road closures, more security outside the stadium and better signage and lighting.Big Concerts CEO Justin van Wyk says a meeting will be held with Uber on Tuesday about how the e-hailing service can work better in providing transport to concertgoers.
“We’ve consolidated the e-hailing into a new, more safe, protected and controlled area with additional security and fencing at the transport hub.”“We’ve improved all the signage and put up electronic mobile billboards, dedicated-info kiosks manned by trained stuff with early depots.”
