Rough guide...

Red is where the stage will be
Blue is food
Green is the draught bars, for Guinness etc. Smaller bars dotted around with less choice

There are options behind the new stand on the left of the pic too, but from memory they're fairly limited

Yeah there are about four or five food stalls over behind the Grandstand and one large bar. Much more on the Anglesea Stand side. There are sellers walking around with bottles of beer too but it's generally Rockshore.

Email says to use Evntz app for parking. Nothing available for parking, just car parks miles away. Useless as always.

was only able to get Pitch 2 for this - how do they police who goes into which area, are there wristbands for Pitch 1?

Yes it has a separate entrance and you do receive a different colour wristband.

On the off chance anyone here doesn't want to be right up at the front for it I'd swap two Pitch 2 for Pitch 1

No interest being right up top, do want to watch from a half decent spot though so happy to leave the pitch 2 peasants behind me

Was pitch 1 the same price as 2? I wouldn't have pegged foo fighters as the type to have two different standing zones like Metallica in slane

Exact same, it’s for crows purposes and both options were available to choose on ticketmaster (until 1 sold out)

In that case if anyone is selling pitch 1 can just swap me and sell on my pitch 2

It's for health and safety reasons based on capacity. Every gig in the RDS this year has had two zones. Some bands have charged more for Pitch 1 calling it a Golden Circle but I think Foo Fighters weren't interested in tiering it.

Post Malone the next day is called golden circle.
If I were paying for a golden circle I’d expect to be in a tiny pit right at stage - not an area that goes back half of the arena.

For Bon Jovi at the RDS the golden circle was easily a third of the pitch, maybe a much as a half. Joke really. Luckily it was only a tenner extra so we went for it, I'd have been really annoyed with the standard standing ticket

Not liking the sound of this new pitch set up.

It's not really 'new'. More or less every artist does it in stadiums where there are standing areas. Rolling Stones, Taylor Swift did it in Croker, Fleetwood Mac, Bon Jovi, Pink did it in the RDS, Robbie Williams did it in the Aviva.

For record it's the front third of the pitch that is Pitch 1 and the back two thirds of the pitch is Pitch 2. So being at the very back of Pitch 1 is excellent if you don't fancy crowds as it'll be more spacious but you'll still be near enough the front.

prunudo

New in the sense that unless it was a golden circle it used to be first come first served on the day.
General admission should be general admission. There'll be plenty of people who didn't buy together separated from friends.
In saying that its a few years since I was at the rds so probably more so new to me rather than new at gigs. And yes agree, the back of area 1 or the pit as I would have known is a great place to be.

PCros

Yeah the show was 2 hours and 30 minutes too which is great!
