Or, what's the best way to get into town so I can work out a bus or something from there?

I you're staying in town just get a taxi. Especially if there's a few of you going. The maximum it'll be is about 30 quid.

Doyou think there will be many available? Sorry to be so clueless but is there any particular place you should go after leaving the concert to get one?

If u come out of the concert onto the navan road I'm sure u'll be able to get one. If theres none try cabra cabs 01 868 7575. Theyre local & usually get there in a few mins anytime I've called

Ballpark of 35 mins I'd say from there to gates into gig area.

Jaysus.. my local Penneys was out of men's wellies. Heatons had very limited sizes... god bless Dunnes. Fecking €18 and I'll probably only wear 'em once, but roll on Sunday.

Thanks Syd,

Anyone know if there is somewhere to park the car over there though?
Can you definitely enter the park from that side?

That map is brilliant, thank you!

Do you know where abouts Gate B is then? Is Gate A closer to the stage?

Gate B would be closer top the stage.. gate A is almost directly opposite the stage and is the main entrance off the park road.

Gate B is more over the Ashtown side so its closer to the stage.

HI Just wondering if anyone used the shuttle bus on thursday night for the gig and what time does it head back to custom house Quay.
Says 11pm from papal cross on the website but going by the set times it might not be over by then.
im guessing they wont head off until the gig is fully over.
Just checkin as i dont fancy a walk all the ways back down to the Quay after

Probably not relevant to the thread but anyone going to the Snow Patrol gig on Sunday should tune into BBC2 or the BBC website tonight @ 10:20pm to see Snow Patrol perform live at T in the Park.

first one yes, yes indeed. waders and inflatable arm bands might be required too.

No idea about the other one! Cheap hostel in town? Sundays are usually cheaper

1 million % yes!!!!! Don't go without them. I was at stone roses gig on Thursday and ignored the warning to wear them as I had a long walk up and back. I didn't want to bring them in a bag and wear other shoes for the walk but I really wish I had done. The muck really took the shine off the night for me - precious I know but there you go. It was bad on Thursday when we arrived - it'll be a whole lot worse by tomorrow.

Off to tesco, woodies and Pennys to have a look for Wellies.

Furious-Red

Not sure if they have realised times but SP will be on roughly at 9.15

MCD saying HWGM are on at 15.15.

They had the times wrong for Stone Roses, and had Original Rudeboys being on first on the Saturday. Can't see these being legit.

Got this off a friend

For anyone still needing wellies - was in Dunnes this morning - there not going to sell out anytime soon!

Might have a look there. Couldnt get anything decent earlier so cheap pair of runners from Pennys and shorts may do. Not mad on wellies anyways. Hoping for sun but going to chill and enjoy whatever the weather. Couple of beers and some good tunes.

Does anyone have any other ideas of how to get back to Galway/Mayo/Roscommon after the concert? I'm not looking for a return journey so I'm not sure about those buses, if they even have spaces now.

I'm considering using GoBus to get back to Galway, but that's more of a backup than anything. Does anyone know where in Dublin GoBuses actually leave from?

Anyone know what time the MCD box office opens at? The Ticketmaster box office seems to open at one o'clock, but we bought tickets from the FATM website.

MCD's website isn't the most informative!

Was in the park today,sun shining and atmosphere fantastic,sounds (from the stage) sounded fab to.I have tickets for tommorows gig and cannot wait now,hopefully weather holds for tommorow. People going to the gig were getting faces painted from clever people who had set up a little picnic table and were charging only 2euro a face.They were painting festival flowers etc which I have to say looked amazing.Will be seeking them tommorow before entering gig.

Dunnes had plenty of women's wellies today [Swords]. The lady said they had just gotten more in today!

Does anyone live near crumlin or cork st? There is a distinct sound of dance music but it doesn't seem to be coming from a house? Is there any chance the sound from the Phoenix park could travel that far?

Was chatting to mate who lives in Drimnagh and he reckons he could hear the music from the park.

You would be better off leaving the park via the ashtown gate exit and getting a taxi or maybe you might be in time to get a bus.
€9 for that shuttle bus is a joke.
