There's total gaps on how someone from Newcastle is meant to 

• Use the Metro towards Sunderland / South Shields.
  
• Get to West Jesmond / Ilford Road at all
  
• Information for people who aren't at the concerts and are affected
  

and similar at Sunderland for someone needing the Metro there.

Newcastle in particular is a major destination in it's own right and they've effectively just shut the Metro down with no information at all.

I heard that the Stadium of Light has agreed procedures with Nexus for concerts, so got in first with dates/resources hence why Newcastle seems to get the raw deal on Saturday 10th. But the points you raise are fair enough, it seems like the the bus would be the only options for those areas mentioned - but good luck with that, with presumably no extra resources planned for the regular bus services.
