“Difficulties" are expected in live music venues, nightclubs and late bars when controversial new rules are expected to come into effect on Thursday evening.

One of these new measures is expected to be the ticketing of clubs and late-night venues. Tickets, which will include contact tracing details, must be booked at least one hour before entry and no walk-ins are expected to be allowed.
