Has anyone ever worked the bar at concerts?

Hey guys not working right now and might be offered to work the bar at stadium gigs coming up. Just wondering what it's like as in how many hours is it per shift, set up, shutting down etc. Haven't done hospitality in while.

Usually grand, can be busy and you are expected to learn fast but usually good fun as everyone else is in the same boat

If you do well they usually keep you on a shortlist for coming back so can be a good earner

How do you get these gigs?

I've done some before working for Hap Solutions Group. They usually cover Malahide concerts and festivals. Easy enough to sign up for if I remember correctly

Does it pay ok?

Meh not the best think it was only like 13-14 euro an hour but sure money is money and all I did all shift was press a button over and over for a machine to pour multiple pints into a tray. They usually seem to overstaff though and start sending people home early if business isn't as busy as expected at the bars

Getting the gig for the corporate boxes in the Aviva on the day of a rugby international is the best thing ever, the best view of the match and you're getting paid for it.
