Boardgame passport

PassportThis year Gaelcon is introducing the board game passport. The board game passport will revolutionize your experience of taking out and bringing back board games. For the mere price of €5 you can play anyone of our amazing games with your friends. No deadlines, no need to return before the library closes for the night and your welcome to play the game anywhere. Play something new or opt for a classic, it is all easier when you have a board game passport. The passport means that you can keep playing the games you love after the board games area has closed up for the night. It also means no deposit necessary on the games, if your spent your deposit money on chips then it’s no problem! No more fumbling with loose change or handing over your real passport. In addition, you can keep track of all the games you played over the weekend. There may even be a prize for the most hard core passport user. You can purchase your passport now online when you preregister or at the convention.

I might go there, I'm not from Dublin though. Is there easy and free parking there? Webpage is not clear on that.

I'll be there on the Saturday, first time I'm not making the full weekend in years, but I'm at an NFL game in London Sunday.

Easy parking yes, free no - don't actually remember the charges, bike past the venue on my way to and from work, I'll check.

Free parking in Ballsbridge doesn't really exist, unless you go on the street when Sunday rules apply. Landsdowne Road station is only 5 minutes walk away, though, so you could probably park and ride.
