Take That at Ashton Gate: What you can and can't take into Bristol gig

The second of a series of huge gigs at Ashton Gate is taking place tonight (May 28), with Take That due to take the stage.

A total of 32,000 people have tickets to Take That, with the gig expected to cause issues on the roads as people make their way to and from the gig.

 

After Rod Stewart's gigs last week, fans complained about the "disorganised" and "dangerous" First Bus shuttle service, with one concert-goer claiming she was left "crushed in the crowd".

Some Take That superfans are so keen to get a good spot at the show, they have been camping outside the stadium since Sunday, May 26.
