One Direction concert Sunderland – everything you need to know
One Direction Where We Are Sunderland gig is at the Stadium of Light on Wednesday May 28 2014. If you’ve been lucky enough to secure a ticket, here’s what you need to know.
One Direction’s Stadium of Light Sunderland gig is the first concert of the UK leg of the boys’ Where We Are tour. Harry, Zayn, Liam, Louis and Niall have visited the Stadium of Light already and will wow the crowds at only four locations in the UK and the Stadium of Light is the first.
If you’re among the 50,000 One Direction fans making their way to the Stadium of Light, the key times to know are 2.30-10pm. At 2.30pm, the external courtyards open. Two hours later at 4.30pm, the hospitality entrances open. The stadium gates open at 5pm, then at 6.50pm, One Direction support act 5 Seconds of Summer takes to the stage. Then at 8.15pm, One Direction themselves go on stage and begin their set. The show ends at about 10pm.
To make it easier for fans to get into the One Direction concert in Sunderland, there will be coloured bands to represent zones. Bands are red, blue, green and yellow and these are marked at the bottom of your One Direction ticket. Entry points for each colour zone will be clearly marked at the Stadium of Light. Fans holding tickets in the pitch standing area (no under 12s permitted) and Tier One and Two seats should follow signs to their designated colour-coded point of entry on arrival.

If your One Direction ticket is in Tier Three, you will not enter through colour-coded gates, but will be designated a numbered turnstile (marked on your ticket).
Wheelchair patrons enter through gate 62A in the South Stand of the Stadium of Light.
As for getting to the Stadium of Light, the Metro strike has been cancelled which should make things easier. If you're coming by car, for safety, approach roads to the stadium will be closed on show day and there is no parking or access available at the Stadium of Light itself, or in the surrounding residential areas. Organisers suggest that people use the city centre car parks, which will remain open late on Wednesday evening. Organisers say that an official rendezvous point is located within the Sheepfolds Industrial Estate, close to St Peter’s Metro station, and parents or guardians can meet youngsters, although it must be accessed on foot.
