I always park in Andrews Lane when I'm going to the Olympia. When you come off College Green onto Dame Street, you take a left up Trinity Street (1st road you can turn off after Grafton Street veer) and then second right onto Andrews Lane. Parking signs there for it. It's open til 12, only a short walk down to the Olympia.

Drury St. car park opposite Brooks Hotel, special evening rate of €4.50 after 5.30pm.

Though you might need to check what time they close at, I'm not sure if they close early during the week. I often use this car park when I am out in town. There are several other car parks nearby, but they charge by the hour and can work out expensive.

Jury's Inn car park, just past Burdocks
Fleet St car park, Temple Bar, just beside the pub Oliver St. John Gogartys (pricey)

Enjoy the show! I had been trying to get tickets on the web but it didn't work out.

Also Temple Bar car park on Fleet Street or Drury Street car park. Also Christchurch beind Jury's. Any on-street parking is a bit chaotic. Some car parks do deals for the evening / night, but check closing times.

Also, College of Surgeons car park up by Stephens Green is good if you're out on a late one, as they're open 24 hours!

Thanks everyone I looked up the Drury Street one and supposedly it's open until 12 so that gives me loads of time unless Christy loses it altogether . Thanks for the help

If you park on the street your car will be guaranteed to be safe during the gig.

And why's that? :P

^ Cos all the dodgy characters will be in the Olympia?

Really? No way? I wasn't being sarcastic or anything.

Esel

Sarcastic, is it? :rolleyes:

I think I've seen people park outside the Dublin Castle gates. You can't get much closer to the venue than that!

Not many spaces there, though. You can often find a space on Capel St, and it's a short walk across the bridge. You have to approach Capel St from the north, though.

Parked in the Royal College of Surgeons in the end because I wasn't sure how long I'd be in town for. Thanks everyone for the help .
