Choose before the final song
The worst time to plan your exit is when the whole crowd starts moving. Decide before the encore whether you are leaving fast, waiting comfortably or choosing the cheapest route.
The guide uses three strategies: fast, comfortable and economic. Each has a different trade-off.
Fast exit
Use this if you have a hard deadline, a tight train connection or an early start. Keep your ticket, travel card and route ready before the show ends.
Comfortable exit
Use this if you hate crowd pressure and can wait. Let the first wave move, use the toilet if needed, then travel once the pressure drops.
