Ann, Yes, very different. For the pop concerts, they cram in as many people as possible - around 70,000. No way would you fit tables and chairs in, let alone be safe to do so... Paul |

That is strange, is it a fairly new rule? we went to a fireworks/band concert and everyone took picnics including us. we all took our own wine, tables and chairs etc. This was three years ago. maybe it is diferent for pop concerts. Ann Glos |

Karen, It's a bit like other venues and depends how strict the bouncers are on the gate you go in as to whether they search your bags fully or just have a quick glance. I'm sure a few snacks would be overlooked but I wouldn't go taking a whole hamper! They have a lot of food & drink stalls around the perimeter. You'll have no trouble finding something nice to eat. I'm a veggie and still had no probs. It's a great outdoor venue because of the way it is designed and the sound is always good. Beware - If it's raining, it will be like a swamp down nearer the front! (I got into a gig at Hyde Park this July with a big bottle of water in my hand and could see that the next line were having theirs taken away.) Enjoy your concert x |

Karen I've been a few times (I live just down the road). I've never tried to take food in, but they're quite strict with regard to bottles etc. Theres usually a reasonably variety of food on sale though, albeit at extortionate prices. What day are you going ? Paul |

I've been but I've never tried getting food in. I think they state this as that way they can ensure that no glass is thrown or smashed around causing injuries (not that I'm saying you wouldx) and on a more cynical note so they can make a fortune selling overpriced burgers etc. If you're really that worried try contacting the bowl direct. |

Hiya. I'm going to the Milton Keynes bowl in 2 weeks time to see Robbie (yeah cant wait :-) ) on the ticket it states no food is allowed. How strict are they with their no food rule? and have you managed to get food in before? thanks. Karen |
