SSE Arena issue Kevin Hart show update regarding 'phone free' policy

The SSE Arena in Belfast has issued further information to patrons attending the Kevin Hart gigs this weekend.

It was announced earlier this week that the comedian's biggest show to date in Belfast would be a strictly phone free zone, with those attending having to lock their phone in a special case before entering.

The news was met with many asking questions about how the policy would actually work in practice and what would happen if there were an emergency.

To help alleviate fans' concerns, the arena has issued some further advice on how the procedure will work on the night.

Posting on Facebook they said: "If you're attending Kevin Hart on Sunday 19 June, here's more information to help make your entry as seamless at possible in line with this event's Phone-Free Experience policy:

"Upon arrival your ticket will be scanned on your phone, and then you will be required to silence and secure your device into a Yondr pouch and will not be able to access your phone while proceeding through security and to your seat.

"Please note your door number, row, and seat on paper to ensure quick entry.

"Tip: View and save your tickets via Ticketmaster to your smartphone wallet to beat busy network connections. Tickets can be saved from your Ticketmaster account."

When asked about what would happen if those attending needed access to their phone in an emergency the arena said: "Please note: if you require your phone for medical purposes, your bluetooth medical devices will still connect to your phone while in the Yondr pouch.

"If you require your phone for medical purposes you can leave them on vibrate, and have them opened in the designated areas marked in the foyer at any point if needed."
