block a or block b on the main floor.

a few rows back from the front and near the centre aisle.

Any time i go to a gig there, i allways go for the south balcony level 2. Great seats, not too crowded, handy for the bar/toilets.

What is the view of the stage from up on the balcony

south balcony is great, good comfortable seats with a great view. Always get seats there. Row A is the front row there and about seats 10-15 is the middle of the row

Here's the view from the south balcony level 2, i think i was in row c (3 rows from the front)
Microphone on camera is too sensitive so theres vibration in the sound, Horslips were rocking that night:D

Personally i like the balcony too. Much better view, less crowded.

Level three is pretty "nose bleed feeling" but the seats are grand, was up there for Jimmy Carr, right at the back, and it was great. Place was packed that night.

There was one fired out all right. He offered to buy the man beer to make up for it. All the blokes mates begged for him to be lat stay but none of them went with him to the bar, he loved that. Great mates :pac:. he gave him loads of warnings. Some of the hecklers were funny, most were piss heads who were ruining if for the rest of us. he though he priced most of them out of it :pac:

Great night, i'd travel to see the guy next time. Went on a whim tbh.

heckling really gets on my nerves. they ruined a good dara o briain show one night.

Yes, I would agree about heckling ruining a show-happened to me with The Frames, Glen got very annoyed. Spolied the whole atmosphere.
