To register, all you need to do is take along your passport, driving license or CitizenCard, have it scanned in the high-tech computer along with your finger print, then each time you visit the venues you just put your finger in the machine and it ID’s you.

If you don’t want the computer to hold your information when you leave the venue each evening you can ask for it to be erased, but if you do this the next time you go to the venue you will have to take your passport, driving license or CitizenCard ID along with you again and re-register to gain entry.

The purpose of the exercise is to create a safer environment in both venues for people to enjoy themselves, stop anyone underage entering the premises, stop anyone on the Brighton Crime Reduction Partnership offenders list entering the venues as well as any known offenders from throughout the UK.

Andrew Roberts, general manager at both venues, said: “We are working with the police to make both venues safer and more comfortable places to be and to make the job of the door security and bar staff easier.”

The computers have been installed at other venues along Brighton seafront. As well as establishing peoples identities the computers warn each venue about known trouble makers being ejected or refused entry to other premises who also have the system installed.
