    If I were you I'd use the park & ride at LUAS Red Cow & get the LUAS all the way in to the o2. There are usually extra trams put on after events, & even though the trams are packed there are surprisingly short delays.

    Or, you could park in the Ashling Hotel car park & get the LUAS from Heuston.

    There is parking there now at the Point Village

    http://www.pointvillage.ie/parking_.aspx

    Plenty of more temporary parking sites around too for gigs for €10.

    I was out at the Point Village a few weekends ago and they have a brand new multi-storey now that's so very close to the 02 itself it'd just take a minute or two, if even, to walk across. I presume it's now fully operational and available for nights events are on. The posted charge for "Concert Parking" was €10 and it was well-manned, lots of CCTVs and very secure.

    Someone will correct me if I'm wrong but I think it should be open for your gig. Not sure what the capacity is so you might have to get there early. There's also the option of parking at a Luas Park & Ride and getting the Luas right out to the O2. Not sure what stop would be best on that line for parking but someone else might suggest a good one.

    I believe the underground parking at the O2 has 720 spaces, it costs €10 to park there for an event. The Luas Park and Ride facility costs €4 for the car for a day and then your return ticket which would be around the €4 mark if you went from Red Cow to the Point (O2).

    Parking on Sheriff St and Castleforbes road is free on Saturdays and Sundays and stops at 7pm Mon-Fri and there's always tons of room on the side of the road. Work at the O2 every 2nd or 3rd gig and always leave my car there, costs nothing most of the time and when you have to put change in the meter, it's only till 7 so costs €2 max.

    Point village are refusing to provide staff parking rates for their own staff let alone those using the neighbouring O2 so I've used them once and never will again :rolleyes: Wouldn't touch the cowboys at the temporary sites with a ten foot barge pole either, mainly because their ignorant and stupid attendants think they have the god given right to halt traffic on North Wall Quay and Sheriff Street after the gigs. Assholes.
