"10 things parents need to know about One Direction concert at Croke Park"

http://www.independent.ie/entertainment/music/10-things-parents-need-to-know-about-one-direction-concert-at-croke-park-30228070.html

Mostly bits about parking and such.

Didn't realise under 14-year-olds weren't allowed on the pitch, regardless of accompanying adults. Don't remember hearing about that for other concerts, so might be a point that'll trip people up.

Booking tickets for the bus - anyone know what time they are due to come on stage - or what time would be best to arrive at the venue ??? I'm leaving from Drogheda - two bus times leaving from Drogheda - 4.30 & 6pm which would be best to book ??
Thanks

I wouldn't be surprised if it was a case that if they look too young to be on the pitch, then they're not going to be let on. My 15 year old cousin is going and god love her she looks about 12. Her mum is bringing her, so they're going to take a photocopy of the cousin's passport and bring that with them. Whether or not that'll be any use, I don't know.

Contact Croke Park and ask for the time. For the O2 anyway the supporting act usually comes on at around 8/8.30. Just allow yourself time to get from the bus to the venue, get in and get seated (seated you don't have to be there as early as standing). I would get the 4 o'clock one too.

When u booked tickets the warnings were up all over the site re standing U14
