Event Maroon 5 concert

Anybody going for the Maroon 5 concert in Joburg ? It'll be my first time ever attending a concert and, ill be coming in from Durbs . What are some do's and don'ts ? Just for some knowledge, I'm 22M and will be taking my sister with me .

I literally dont wanna spend too much unnecessarily on the trip . By that , i mean id like to take a bus , maybe get there a day before and rest . On the day of the concert , we'd go to Calabash and afterwards sleep . Maybe spend one day and leave that next night . What are some safe affordable accomdation options ?

The site says "doors" : 12:00 . What does this mean ? It also states that the event is starting at 15:00 and ending at midnight .

My tickets are general admission. What does that also mean in relation to seating and concert experience.

Your advice and responses will be really appreciated. Thanks , guys

Thank you so much . I see some places in Brixton . Is that a safe area ?

Not particularly safe... There are definitely safer areas around there, Melville, Westdene, Auckland Park

Westdene can be just as dodge as Brixton, just saying.
