Going to the Mumford & Sons concert in the Sydney domain this Saturday and was wondering, given gates open at 1pm and it finishes at 11pm, if bringing things like picnic blankets become annoying later on when it's packed? Or is there typically plenty of space to have the option of standing or lying down? Are there typically seats at such events - the info page doesn't mention there are.
It seems like just about everything is banned from bringing in - food, drink in plastic, glass or metal containers, chairs, so a picnic is out.
Any other advice for the best experience? Got some of those Etymotic ear plugs just in case it's dangerously loud.
Given M&S aren't on till 845pm, finishing at 11pm, maybe don't get there at 1pm ;)
