thats just the cost of parking in dublin now. take a bus / luas / car and ride is the answer – but if you want to drive all the way there then it will cost you.

I think you mean „Yield Based Pricing“……./s

On a Sunday evening? You’re only paying for convenience, there’s plenty of free street parking around.

I’ve never parked there but I saw they do a 6h minimum for some reason so all prices are around 50eur. Read also the (i) sign when you book, I think it says something like if you leave earlier you will be charged more, which is even more ridiculous.

This ain’t „cost of living/energy crisis“ pal, this is a luxury option for people who decide they wanna drive into a theatre gig smack bang in the middle of a capital city. Most people at that gig will be taking public transport.

On street parking should be a good bit cheaper if not free at those times

Exactly the reason I’m taking the bus into Dublin city centre from Navan today.

If I’m not mistaking this is the parking for the board energy theatre, it’s always been a rip off because they know why people are there, ironically enough of those literally free parking about few than a minute drive from this place and other car parks are way cheaper nearby.

They’re charging you a block of 6 hours when prebooking. As opposed to you rocking up on demand to get the €7.20 per hour rate and finding no availability. It’s the price of convenience
BillyMooney on
Stop lying about the gig price. Not sure why you’d expect space for six or eight people to be cheaper than space for one person.
What do you mean by ‚allowed‘? It’s a private service from a private business. There’s no laws around pricing such services, so if it’s not worth it for you, then find an alternative. It’s about ten minutes walk for Spencer Dock red Luas stop to Bord Gais, so it’s easy to use the Red Cow park and ride.

Park at red cow and get the luas???

OP, use your head here please – the 26th is a Sunday. There are literally hundreds of free on street parking spaces in that area that have no parking fees on any weekend. On top of that it’s in the evening from 6:30pm so it will be relatively quiet. You will easily get free parking, worse case it will be a 2 minute walk. Best case (and highly likely), you’ll be able to get it right outside the theatre.

There’s free street parking 5 minutes walking from the Bord Gais.

There is free parking and a 3 mins walk. I was there yesterday for ballad of Johnny and June . Park on sir John rogersons quay and be a bit early . Easy
CurrentTurbulent on
Parked there before and everyone leaves the theatre at the same time and you get stuck in a jam in the car park and then in the surrounding roads, total nightmare
kaggs on
It’s been a while now but anytime I’ve ever went to Dublin for a show or a gig I always park in the Ibis hotel at the red cow and get the luas in , the parking is usually free and I’ve never had an issue.
bowtells on
A parking fine would probably be cheaper
masterstoker on
Their pricey structure is to encourage you never to park there twice as there isn’t enough parking in the area if everyone brings their car.
And to make tonnes of money.. ahem!
jacksqualk on
Park at a train station and get the Dart for a tenner all in
MFfroom on
I dont mind this at all. Stop driving into the city.
You’re getting in the way of my car
Trans-Europe_Express on
Yeah but that might be the most expensive car park in the country because its under a concert venue. It’s always been a rip off. You can park for free on a Sunday on many nearby streets
olgaforog on
Free parking behind the Clayton hotel every weekend, never an issue with space. Like a 5 minute walk to Bord Gais.
Spiritual_Mall_3140 on
You’ve got dozens of options that will allow you to park and ride and cost you half that.
Intelligent-Aside214 on
You could’ve easily got street parking nearby or parked somewhere and got public transport in.
You’re paying for convenience to park in the centre of a capital city and you will pay pit your ears for it. Same in any European capital
cyrusir on
so much on street parking around, anyone paying this deserves it unfortunately.
dellyx on
Hanover Street East is where I always park. Free parking for both Saturday and Sunday, everything is a short walk away.
ma88br on
I usually park on the other side of the River, for half of that. And its only a 10 min walk
chytrak on
Good. It should make drivng to town unaffordable.
Weepsie on
Erne street is free at weekends too I’m pretty sure, even if not far cheaper
rayhoughtonsgoals on
Horrific after a gig. Don’t do it.
