    We're heading up to the Script concert in Croke Park tomorrow night. I'm going to park at the Red Cow and get the Luas in because I've only ever drove into Jury's on Custom House quay so I'm not familiar with the city. Can anyone tell me how hard is it to get the Luas after a concert? Is there a possibility of not getting on one? Thanks

    No, you'll be fine. But don't head to Abbey Street to get on. Head to Busaras or Connolly instead, will be a lot easier getting on there. If there's a mad queue at Busaras head away from the City Centre and walk along the Luas tracks to the next stop - George's Dock. And make sure to buy a return ticket at the Red Cow.

    We'll be going up a bit early to do a bit of shopping. Aiming to be at Red Cow around 12ish so hopefully will get parking then. But could be busier later on. Really looking forward to the concert!!

    Spencer Dock I think. Georges dock is south of the Liffey with no LUAS

    George's dock is outside of CHQ - it's a luas stop, there is also Mayor Square before Spencer Dock

    Spencer dock is quite a trek down the IFSC...

    I have tickets for the stands. Can you get onto the pitch with stand tickets?

    On all Ireland days the luas uses crowd control so if that's the case I'd say there'll be a queue to get on at Abbey Street. I'd recommend getting off at Busaras.

    I'm going to head straight to Connolly after the concert. Definitely won't go to Abbey street.

    No you won't be able to get onto the pitch with seated tickets.

    Just be aware that all Luas go to Busaras, not all go to Connolly (some start at the Point).

    Be aware that they sometimes close Busaras Luas stop after Croke Park events though.

    I think that's George's Quay you're thinking of. George's Dock is in the IFSC.

    It's a long time since I was at a concert in Croke Park.
    What are you allowed bring in? I presume, a small bag with light rain gear, probably not liquids, snacks? Couldn't give a crap normally but have twelve year old daughter with me for the first time. It's great that she is into decent music and I don' have to go to 1D or similar crap.

    Hi Jamboat,

    Just wondering how you got on with the Luas after the concert? What stop did you get and were there major queues etc? Hoping to do the same as you were planning and park at Red Cow and get the Luas in and out.

    Thanks
