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.
