GA was standing, seats in the back/upper level. I was in something like 3rd or 4th row, moved around a little.
Btw, looks like the 2 UK gigs in June will be streamed.
And there seems to be a special gig for Belgian and Dutch Q Radio in Antwerp on May 25th.

Audio stream? I might skip the gig if it's gonna be broadcast. Hate gigs in fields
Guinness ties up with Snow Patrol
LONDON - Guinness has struck the first ever brand partnership with leading band Snow Patrol, giving the beer brand access all areas.
Through the partnership, Guinness will have access to all of Snow Patrol's recorded and live content.
The Irish drinks brand will also work alongside Snow Patrol on their performances and to co-curate a festival for up-and-coming local talent from the band's home regions of Ireland and Scotland.
The deal was brokered by SO The Agency. At the core of the partnership will be the band's only two UK performances this year in Northern Ireland on 5 June and Glasgow on 12 June.
New recorded content will be seeded to Guinness and Snow Patrol fans via Facebook, while a radio campaign will give consumers the opportunity to get their hands on the last remaining tickets for each of the festivals.
Fans will also be able to download and stream live performances at the festival from both Snow Patrol and up and coming acts via the Guinness and Snow Patrol Facebook pages.
Snow Patrol's drummer Jonny Quinn said: "SO were able to bring our vision to life, of creating a unique experience for our fans. Their intimate understanding of live performance and rights coupled with their huge brand experience meant that we have, in Guinness, the perfect partner who shares our vision."
Further joint marketing initiatives will be rolled out throughout the year.
