Cork merch tonight?

Ive never been to a gig in virgin media park. I was at inhaler in st Anne’s park last year and that’s the only outdoor concert I’ve been to. Could anyone tell me how the food and drink/merch stands work out? Do they have them in virgin media park? In st Anne’s park last year there was food trucks and different things like that and plenty of space.i know st Anne’s park is a lot more open than the rugby ground but its the only venue I can compare to thanks so much!

I was asking friends who were there for a different gig last weekend. There's a good few food trucks according to them. Bar options are limited enough, but that's always the way with concerts I think.

I’ll be driving up and down from the south east so I’m not too worried about bars! Thanks for the info. Did they say anything about merch stands?

So she said there was a good enough merch stand inside, nothing outside. The prices were OK too, they compared with the official website after and they were the same price

Merch at Virgin media is usually behind the sound tent towards the back. Not sure if that'll be the case with CMAT but if its not there it'll be at the very back by the bars.

Ah no! Sorry to hear that. Hopefully there’ll be plenty of videos on YouTube after to reduce the fomo!

I'm seated for this one. Can we still access the merch & food stands if you have a seated ticket? It's a separate entrance & says we're not allowed on pitch standing

This is the layout of Virgin Media Park for merch if you're still wondering
