Entry & Crowd Flow Engineering (New York)

NYC doors see subway surges, plaza crowds, and curbside drop-offs all at once. We design front-of-house screening that fits Midtown grids and borough venues: pre-queue signage before plaza choke points, stanchion geometry that blocks cross-traffic, and triage posts that peel ticket/credential issues away from scanners so main lanes fly.

VIP/ADA paths are mapped to elevators and premium entries at MSG, Javits, and Times Square./FiDi sites, with bilingual wayfinding where needed. Supervisors watch density, dwell, weather, and curbspace on 7th/8th Ave or Atlantic Ave, scaling lanes fast if doors surge or storms roll in—keeping sidewalks clear and neighbors happy.

Quick duties: pre-queue signage • stanchion geometry • ticket/credential triage • VIP/ADA routing • curbspace/counterflow control • live density & dwell monitoring

Backstage, Talent & Emergency Action

Back-of-house is where shows are won. We lock down stage doors and union docks, verify production credentials, and coordinate artist moves with discreet escorts and radio discipline.

Credential zones (red/orange/green) are enforced without friction; deliveries are checked against manifests to prevent tampering.

Your EAP is drilled for NYC realities—multi-exit evacuations, shelter, medical, severe weather/air quality, and protest spillover—so teams execute under pressure. Post-event, we sweep FOH/BOH, secure docks, and deliver a concise after-action report with incidents, timings, and next-show improvements.

Quick duties: credential zones • stage door & dock control • radio discipline • EAP roles/drills • artist/VIP escorts • post-event sweep & report
