Marlay Park is a bit of a nightmare to get to and from (it's a good bit outside of the city) and was very poorly organized last time they played there!

Last time round, it was difficult to get a bus out there. We were waiting a good hour/hour and a half for a bus but very few came, and those that did were full and not stopping, so we ended up walking a bit and eventually flagged down a taxi.

When we arrived there was only one entrance. We walked for 20 minutes (I'm not exaggerating, I timed it!) to reach the end of the queue, and were then told to keep walking as they were opening a second entrance. That took another 20 minutes. We ended up missing the start of Weezer's set because it took so long to get into the venue 🙄 Afterwards was worse though. We met some guards (our police force) outside and asked was there public transport running, and they said yes and pointed us towards the bus stop. We were there over an hour and only one bus passed in that time and that one was full so they didn't stop. It was raining at this point so we were all getting cranky. Eventually one of the paid shuttle busses pulled up and we were able to get on that but it only took us as far as Dundrum, and there were hundreds of people there trying to get on the Luas/tram into the city. Only one Luas came and of course that was jam packed too, and then we were told that was the last Luas.
We were all stranded there trying to get taxis. My bank actually blocked my card that night because I tried Uber and FreeNow so many times!
Myself and my friends eventually started walking towards town in the rain and after 15/20 minutes (this was at like 1am) we finally got some luck and met a taxi driver who was just starting the night shift so he picked us up.... my friend swore she would never go to Marlay Park again but Green Day seem to like this venue unfortunately 🙃

I left during the encore at Hella Mega because I knew trying to get back to the coach area would be a nightmare. It’s just such an awkward place because you can’t walk anywhere so everyone is waiting for a bus or a ride. Best bet is to grab one of the coach services because at least you’ll guarantee a ride back. Then leave just a little early to find it afterwards and boom, much less stress!

How is the area to walk in? Is it generally safe? Still really wanting to go for this show but the stories about the bus troubles etc makes me really uncertain.

I see. :( Off course you have to follow the school year. Hope you'll have fun in Dublin. :wub:

I'm going to Paris, Manchester and London. I had tickets to Glasgow as well, but ended up selling them because of other concerts and how pricey everything is in pounds. 🙈

Thanks! Hope you have fun as well! I actually also considered Glasgow for a while before I landed on this one.

Because of the gig there will naturally be lots of crowds and drunks in the area. But I lived in the area for over 20 years and it is generally very safe. It's more like a family residential area outside the city, there's not really anything to do at night. But it is too far to walk to the city unfortunately. Yeah, it really is not a good venue choice.

 

But of course I'm going 😄

Thanks for your reply, helps to know! Not gonna lie, I’m a little worried about the whole getting back thing but from what I’ve read on Reddit my impression is that aiming for the luas from Dundrum back to the city centre might be the best idea?
Gonna bring the good shoes.

That is a good plan. Depending on what time it ends, there might be buses from Rathfarnham/Dundrum running as well. There should also be shuttle buses from the venue, but you might have to wait. But like I said, apart from the concert crowds it's generally a quiet and safe area.

I can’t believe this thread is only 1 page long!!!! Where are all the 2010 marlay parkers? Haha. 

I’m going to this in the end! Tickets are still available but if someone is selling GC / Calling all Saviors VIP for less money I’ll take it from you. 
Calling all Saviors VIP gives you access to GC right??? I’m considering buying that one.
