Transport planner John, 42, said he had arrived in Manchester ticketless but with a “master plan”; after borrowing a yellow high vis vest and litter grabber from work.

“I was acting very casual and when I saw the security guys I started picking up litter around them, saying ‘Mind if I grab that mate’ and I walked through.
“I did a half hour shift of picking, filling a bag with beer cans and plates.
“It was well worth it.
“I didn’t get paid for the work but I got a free concert.”;
