Security which took away the signs of Justin Bieber fans entering the Brisbane Entertainment Centre were acting on the wishes of the artist’s management.
Last night parents reacted angrily to their children’s fan-made signs being taken by security as their entered the Boondall venue.
But the Brisbane Entertainment Centre has revealed the sign confiscations were a request of Justin himself, to ensure concert-goers’ vision was not blocked and the signs did not accidentally harm others.
She said it was not unusual for such signs to confiscated for concerts, noting that WWE performances have special requirements for what signs are allowed in to the venue.
Ms McNamara said the venue wanted attendees to have the best and safest experience possible.
Last night Toni Mather and Kylie McMaster, whose daughters were among those whose signs were taken by security, said it was disappointing for the fans.
“‘Try to explain to [young] girls that they can’t bring in signs that they were making for two hours,” Ms Mather said.

it happen to me too but in Quebec city… AAHh! I was so angry! 😛 But I can anderstand the reason why they did it.
They did this in Dublin too 🙁
Oh wow thats crazy!! They didnt do that in the US tour y r they doing this on the european tour thats not fair but I understand y they did it but im just saying I went to his concert in NY and justin said he love all of the posters we made for him but y now stop the posters from getting in maybe the venues r built differently from US venues but that disappointing to see the security guards take away ppls posters that they had worked really hard on making.
they do it in america to, the concert i went to i got my sign taken away tho?
i think it depends on how the arena is!! i hope they dont take them away this weekend!!
i hate jjustn
that is just mean like i said above he is a nice guy! if u dont like him then why r u on a website about him???!!!!
Oh really? Then why are you even reading this!
I you hate him than why do you read this stuff that is very stupid
hey its me said “i hate jjustn” if u do then y the hell r u on this site wierdo
don’t call someone a weirdo just because they don’t have the same interests as you. I hate Justin also but I just wanted to know why people can’t bring in signs to concerts and this was the first link that popped up so I clicked on it.
what a btch!!! get a life Justins hot & talented u no it!! r u jealous or somethin??
k the real bitchs is u becuz u r making fun of her god u sluts get ur facts straight !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WTF are u talking about? Talented? He lipsings everything and his voice has so much proccesing in it it sounds like a robot and he knocked a CD out of a mans hand when he was trying to get an autograph for his daughter. Think about that!
first of all, it’s lip SYNCH. not lip sing. and you’re right he does. my 5th grade math teacher had a son named Noah who worked with justin beiber with lights and audio. plus there was a video of him puking on stage and his “voice” kept “singing”. By the way, his voice isn’t audiotuned all that much. It is in certain songs but he did have talent a loooooooooooooong time ago. Get your facts STRAIGHT
are you taklinf to justinbierdre well sorp k or i will call hi, k
Justin bieber. Hayley. Fabritz.
