    You could park in ringsend, and just walk to the gig.
    If you want to park in a car park, you could park in q-park off o connell st, and get the dart from connolly to lansdowne, just a 30 sec walk to the stadium.

    Park and Ride at Red Cow Luas, red Luas line to Tara and DART to Landsdowne - probably as well to walk back into town after the gig.

    That's just ridiculously complicated.

    As previously suggested , parking in Ringsend is an option, or park along side Herbert Park in Ballsbridge

    Parking in Ringsend would be about a 10-15 minute walk away right? That seems ok

    Ringsend or Ballbridge are 10mins walk ... you're good either area.

    Agreed... Drive to ballsbridge.

    Ive been to the aviva scores of times.... Parking is not that bad.

    Beats the hell out of that public transport option.

    Premium level a few blocks back from the stage in the east or west stand I guess

    Realise I'm in a minority here, but I didn't think the last O2 show was *that* stunning. Yes brilliant musically, but visually it was just a big wall going up with some(albeit impressive) visuals projected onto it.

    IMO I'd rather go see Waters do his old best of Pink Floyd show...the tributes(aussie/Brit Floyd) offer a better visual show than I seen at the O2 and just as good musically.

    Have always though The Wall would be an ideal opportunity for the artist to involve local schoolkids singing on stage, so was hugely disappointed when that didn't happen at the O2....just heard on the radio this morning that it may happen at the Aviva though...

    But they did involve local school kids at the point show I thought?

    But that has always being the wall show a massive wall going up with pictures projected onto it.

    I do love the tribute act show when they come around though.
    Always visually great shows

    I think this time round they are meant to have upped the stage show a bit

    Just booked in to work this gig. Do you reckon it will be a sell out? Alot older and relaxed crowd?

    Nowhere near a sellout one can imagine. Not necessarily older, but should be very relaxed if the o2 gigs are anything to go by.

    Good to hear. Not that I had any bother at Robbie or Rihanna.

    I've seen both in the 02 and there is no comparison between them, Waters show is light years ahead in every way. Just look at a few youtube clips of each and make your own mind up. The Aviva show will be epic.

    I'm not a big fan of the album but would you still recommend going to this? I'm thinking of getting a ticket but I'm not a big fan of The Wall.

    Why would you even think about getting a ticket to a gig of an album you don't like?

    GO.
    I've seen maybe 4 tribute acts doing it and this'll be my 2nd time seeing waters doing it.
    I'm not the biggest floyd fan and i'd prefer darkside over the wall, but for the show alone, it'll be worth it.
    I picked up 2 premium level section 307 tickets for €150, so there are cheaper than face value tickets out there.

    Yes Rogers Wall show was much better than the Aussies, but I prefer the tributes usual "mixed bag" more. Looking forward to the Brit Floyd "Pulse" show in November.

    If Waters was doing his usual Floyd show I'd walk over hot coals to see it. I just thought at certain points the spectacle of a wall being built was a bit boring.

    Your eleven years too late dude, the last time Waters played a selection of Floyds greatest hits was during 2002 period, the In the Flesh tour, he played Glastonbury that year too. Did he not play the Dark side tour too in 2006 or 2007 as well, Im sure he played Dublin and Cork.
