Belfast

Belfast is home to a number of football teams that play in the Northern Ireland Football League Premiership including Glentoran F.C. (based at The Oval), Linfield F.C. (based at the National Football Stadium), and Cliftonville F.C. (based at Solitude). The city is also home to Elite Ice Hockey League team Belfast Giants who are based at the SSE Arena Belfast. Perhaps the most highly anticipated sports events in Northern Ireland are the Ulster Rugby games at Kingspan Stadium, as this team competes in the Pro14 annual rugby competition.

Adult ticket prices including fees for events in Belfast start from as low as GBP £13 for basic tickets to GBP £305 for the most premium tickets; with the average starting ticket price at GBP £32. The price depends on a range of factors including the type of event, performers, venue, and ticket category.

Belfast is a maritime city built around the mouth of the River Lagan on Northern Ireland’s east coast. Whilst the city has a long shipbuilding history, it’s most famously known for being the port from which the Titanic left for its maiden voyage before tragically hitting an iceberg. The impressive Titanic Museum tells a captivating story of its unfortunate fate. The city suffered more trauma during The Troubles, a 30-year-long political conflict with the Republic of Ireland between the 1960s and 90s, which has left its mark to this day. As you explore the city, political street murals, damaged buildings, and the Peace Wall in particular, remain to remind you of the events. Yet, you can’t help but feel the jolly Northern Irish spirit fill the air (and especially its pubs) everywhere you go from the creative Cathedral Quarter to the laid-back Queens Quarter.
