    I was right down the front by the end of the set. The drum kit was that big, I didn't see him either!

    Hi 👋 - what all were the perks that came with the VIP tickets for this? I see that Pantera (pre-sale on sale Tuesday) is gonna have VIP available too. Was there a back stage tour package? Im definitely not a fan of having them. Sorry - one more question - is standing at these 3 Arena gigs GA, or is there a front barrier section / golden circle sh!te? TIA

    There wasn't one at the SP gig anyway, you could walk right up to the front, with some effort, if you felt like it.

    Yeah, don't think I've ever seen a golden circle at the 3arena

    The VIP things are a total ripoff, definitely not worth it.

    The blink-182 show in the 3Arena (September 2023) was to have a front standing section, but then it was postponed and moved to Kilmainham. Olivia Rodrigo had a pit for most of the UK arena dates, but not here, and that may have happened with other acts as well.

    I think the 3Arena's amphitheatre layout doesn't facilitate it. The floor area isn't deep enough to accommodate a pit without eroding too much space. Girls Aloud effectively had a pit - two Gold Circles, divided by a walkway, leading to a semi-circular walkway - but it went out so far that there was very little room on the GA floor directly behind that B-Stage.

    Olivia Rodrigo had a pit in Dublin, could only get in if you bought a VIP ticket
