It's a 10-15 minute walk from the city centre add time for a stop in a pub along the way Bear in mind the walk back into town along the marina tends to be dark and the foot paths can be a bit broken up in parts, comfy shoes are a good idea. Since it is so close to the city any hotel will be decent, the closest though is probably the Clarion Hotel. It's indoor, well it's in a tent/marquee. For normal music gigs there is a mix of seated tickets and standing.

run_Forrest_run wrote: » yes, taxis will be available outside the venue, mind you the traffic can be heavy getting out (the car park is busy too) and often you're quicker walking. Seated areas are fairly good, try to get the seated area in front of the stage (as opposed to the seats to the left and right of the stage - the standing area is in the middle). Sound can be hit and miss, a gig in a tent is never going to be top notch for sound but you should be fine, depends on the artist's sound crew also. For example at The National last year I found the sound to be very good when the band were playing but when Matt was talking to the crowd I couldn't make out one word he was saying...and no, I wasn't drunk Go ahead and book those tickets, something to look forward to!

Depending on weather, it isn't too far to walk to the venue to the city centre. 202 bus gets you nearby.(Ballintemple Pharmacy) and its a short walk downhill past CAB motors to the venue. A warning re seating: the main seating area in the centre, if operating is quite "cosy". If you don't know the person sitting next to you at the start, you will by the end. If the person next to you is "large" then half of them will be on your seat, and their elbows will be in your chest. Choose wisely. The seats at the side and rear do not have this problem and are quite roomy. If you need a seat, then the ones at the side, about halfways back are the best option, though you will have your head canted to the left or right for the duration. Try to avoid the poles though.
