    TOP GEAR LIVE IS A NO PARKING EVENT

    GETTING TO TOP GEAR LIVE
    THE DO’s and DON’Ts of TOP GEAR LIVE
    DO** Take Public Transport
    ********** Give yourself extra time to get to Simmonscourt
    ********** Read your timetable
    ********** Arrive up to 1 hour but no later than 30 minutes before your

    Ballsbridge and approach roads will experience very heavy volumes of traffic over the course of the Top Gear Event and we ask if at all possible to avoid bringing your car to the area. There will be very limited car parking available in the Ballsbridge area and NO PARKING at Simmonscourt.

    Box Office Ticket Collections
    Customers must bring along their confirmation email and appropriate identification i.e. credit card in order to collect tickets. Tickets will be available for collection at the RDSTickets.com ticket booth inside the grounds of Simmonscourt.

    Ticket Scanning
    Ticket scanning will be in operation. Please keep your tickets dry in the event of wet weather conditions to ensure you experience no delays when trying to gain entry.



    Lost or Stolen Tickets
    If your tickets are lost or stolen please come directly to the Box Office with the credit card used to purchase the tickets and subject to verifying your identity we will re-issue tickets for you. Please note that where tickets are re-issued the original tickets will be immediately invalidated and will not pass access control scanning. You can contact 01-2407239 if you have lost or had your tickets stolen.


    Retain your tickets at all times
    It is important that you retain your tickets at all times as you may be asked to produce them when moving between the Live Theatre Show and the Exhibition hall.

    Wrist Bands
    If you have received a wrist band which entitles you to enter the back stage Paddock Tour you must wear this at all times. This does not allow access to the event without a valid ticket.
