    I bought two tickets for Belfast the day they went on release. After recent discussions with my wife, we've decided to take our two kids to their first 'big' gig. I bought another two tickets last night. The first pair say GA1 on them, the second pair say GA2 on them...I've been to Boucher before...there's only one area, isn't there?

    You might want to check the seating layout on ticketmaster, it could be a setup similar to the RDS where they've putch 1 and pitch 2 setups which are separated.

    GA is general admission and the number just refers to the allocation of your tickets as another poster said.

    You will 100% be in the same standing area with these two tickets. There is also only one standing area for that gig.

    At the Manchester show last year found some of the extended jams to get repetitive after a while and drunken Dave's chatter but great show and it should be a good night. Similar set each show but they include the classics

    Slane with chilis in '03 was the worst for extended jams

    The pubs around the RDS were nightmares for Bon Jovi. Packed and took ages to get served. Better off getting cans and drinking on the streets

    Bars Inside much better and serving that Rockshore stuff at €6.50 a pint/bottle

    As a non dub

    Bad as it's a rip off and rockshore is so light too. Only 4% and at that price. Along with big ques and missing half the show

    Tbh I do like a few pints at shows so I partake in what I'm complaining about ha

    Yeah I agree, thought you were saying it's much better inside than the bars outside.

    Depending which route you're coming from, the bars along the canal are better for crowds. If you want to get close, go in the door of Paddy Cullens and take a quick left up the stairs, queues at the bar upstairs are much quieter.

    What's the story with parking? Would like to try there an hour or so before doors open, reckon I could get a spot at Simmonscourt? Also what's the deal with paying for parking in there, just pay as you arrive?

    Does anyone know from previous gigs at the RDS, whats the craic with food stalls and such? Is there a good selection? I presume they're not actually located on the pitch, if so, how do they control the crowds for pitch 1 or 2?

    Thanks.

    Pretty good selection behind the older stand, on the grass there. It's outside the arena so everyone can get out, you have to pass back through security to get in so can be a little slow if you time it wrong (ie just before the Foos come on)

    Don’t know about the vendors and the choices but I presume it’ll be the usual choices but the stalls are set up outside the concert arena in the area where the horses prance around before they do their thing.

    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
