Logie Awards Ask One Direction Fans To Stay Away!

13 April 2012

The organisers of the TV Week Logie Awards have stepped up security ahead of One Direction's performance, and are urging all directioners away from the event this Sunday.

One Direction are due at the Crown Casino in Melbourne to perform at the Logies with the likes of Delta Goodrem, Tony Bennett and Seal!

In the wake of 1D's other public appearances, some of which have drawn thousands of fans, organisers have now revealed they are drafting in more security guards and stepping up the police presence at the venue in a bid to keep the ceremony safe.

They are also urging any fans who do not have a ticket to not even turn up at the event.

More than 350 competition winners have officially been invited to watch the band perform, but they will be the only fans allowed anywhere near the venue.

A Logies spokeswoman revealed, "(We are) expecting the very worst. We are getting more security and more police. Our main priority surrounding the performance is the safety of those fans attending and the community surrounding the Crown precinct, as well as the boys themselves."

"We are totally across it. We have seen what this band has caused across the world - they shut down streets in Paris when they appeared in-store recently."
