    I was just wondering are there any buses to and from the O2 to the center of town?
    Going to Depeche Mode tonight!
    Thanks.

    No, wouldn't think so with the amount of people around, just walk it, it's only 20minutes or so.

    Isn't the new Luas extension just opened serving the O2 from Connolly?

    I often see a bus to the O2 on Stephen's Green. Seems to leave on the side opposite the Shelbourne Hotel...but I don't know if it goes every night.

    Luas, forget buses.

    Luas.

    The Luas goes down there.

    You can get the Luas if you like.

    There's a Luas leaving centre of town from Smithfield, Bridewell/4 Courts, Jervis St SC (Abbey St) and also Abbey St near the Malborough St junction, Store St...

    Personally i would get the Luas.

    What's it like getting the Luas from The O2 after a gig? Do they line up a few trams to get everyone out of there as quickly as possible or is it complete chaos?

    I'm going to two gigs at The O2 in the near and slightly distant future and I live on the red line so it's handy to get the Luas all the way there and back.

    You would think thats what they would do, but this is Ireland we do things differently.

    How was the gig anyway?

    I was at Eddie Izzard last Tuesday and The Prodigy on Friday and was shocked to see some actual organisation for a change.

    If anybody is going to a gig there just get a return ticket as it's easier for getting on the LUAS on the way back.

    After the gig they have the LUAS('s) lined up and they have two queues set up. One for people with return tickets, and the other for people to get a ticket. Then everybody queues up and they fill each LUAS up and let it head off on it's merry way.
    No pushing, shoving, LUAS trams going the wrong way, clueless CIE staff, police telling people that they'll have to walk back to town. Only for I could smell the Liffey I could've sworn I was in one of fordin European cities.
