The venue is preparing for the influx of fans by using a large projector screen alongside their standard setup. They have screens placed both inside the main pub area and out in their heated garden, which helps if you want to be outside but still need to keep an eye on the score. It is worth noting that this is an 18+ event, so you will need to have your ID ready if you plan on heading down.
Regarding access, the standard entry is free, though the pub does offer an option to book tickets online if you want to secure queue jump access. Keep in mind that even if you have a ticket or plan to walk in, entry is subject to capacity. If the pub hits its limit, they will stop letting people in, so arriving early is the only way to guarantee you get a spot inside. It is a straightforward setup for anyone wanting to catch the semi-finals in a central Brighton location without much fuss.
