"Following her problems with alcohol, Britney had requested that everywhere backstage is alcohol free,” said a source.

"Her family is monitoring the situation very carefully and we've been made to sign contracts promising not to drink or allow any of the VIP guests to have alcohol in any of the backstage areas that Britney could use,” added the source.

However, the guests weren't impressed with the decision.

"Although I respect Britney's wishes, I was desperate for a drink myself. It certainly put a dampener on the night,” said a ticket holder.
