    Anyone know if you can bring drink into marley park?? I know they let us the last time I was there but that was for the arctic monkeys about 8 or so years ago and could have been a once off. Not bags of cans or anything just maybe a bit of vodka in a plastic bottle

    Those days are long over friend... :rolleyes:

    You can easily get away with it, but it's technically very not allowed.

    Looking forward to seeing Tvvins opening, really enjoyed them the few times I've seen them.

    Probably unpopular opinion but really couldn't care less about the Pixies though...

    Was there a link up somewhere here where you could book a bus seat from town out to Marley Park and back...without relying on Dublin bus?

    Flying in that morning so don't want to have to book a particular time bus, are Dublin bus running concert buses for this?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,695 ✭✭✭✭Cartman78


    Sure we'll probably all fit in the one mini bus by the sounds of it ;)

    Saw on another thread there that 'Ham Sandwich' are on at 4.30pm


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,891 ✭✭✭iamanengine


    Pixies in at 6 Arcade Fire on at 8/Half 8? Is my guess anyways!

    Dublin Bus dont do any extra buses just the normal route/times etc. I would recommend that if you do get DB get an early one unless you want to get stuck in traffice

    Will there be food/drink stall in there?

    Anyway of getting confirmation on the Pixies start time I'm wondering. We'll be coming straight from Croker but don't want to miss any of the Pixies.

    Anybody got any idea about overnight parking near Marlay Park?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3 toygee99


    Are their ATM facilities on site?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,346 ✭✭✭positivenote


    also looking for stage times… hope to catch Mexico Vs Netherlands in The Eden Pub before the gig at 5… hope it doesn't go to ET and Penos :p

    Do you think I will be able to bring in a folding camping chair?

    My wife will be 36-weeks pregnant on Saturday, so will need a seat to rest on every now and then while we're there. The "event T&Cs" state no chairs, but surely they'll make an exception for a pregnant woman?

    For what it's worth, we're not really fussed about any of the support acts so we'll probably just arrive for around 8pm, assuming Arcade Fire will probably be on-stage at 8:30/9.

    Send um an email I'd say,
    I know at green day in 2010 they let an expecting mother into the wheel chair area where she had a seat.

    Hi. Just wondering if there is a bus going through bray on sunday for arcade fire in marlay park? If not does anyone want to share a taxi. There are two of us hoping to get the price down for a return trip.

    Hi. Tried that at Radiohead in Malahide once. The seat was confiscated but my wife was allowed into the disabled access area. She didn't bother though as it would have meant splitting up from friends. She just sat on the ground.

    There was a pregnant woman at longitude last year, and she had a fold up chair / stool.

    Get the LUAS to Ballally, walk up Wyckham Way and then down Ballinteer Avenue. Couple of pubs on the way should you get thirsty.. 25 minutes tops!

    Is that Marathon bus service the best way of getting back from Marley to town?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 17,496 ✭✭✭✭Nalz


    Is this sold out?

    Struggling to sell my 2 tickets. Can't go now and will miss the footy too.

    Massive fan of AF :(

    I just checked ticketmaster and it's not sold out. By the looks of toutless a lot of people are trying to offload tickets even selling them under face value.

    if you only want to see AF then you would be fine.
    Dublin match should be over by 5:30, walk out to Drumcondra and get on the 16 and would be out to Marley Park by 7 anyway.

    Ham Sandwich are on at 4:30 so with at least an hour set, and about 40mins stage setup before The Pixies, it will be 6:15 at the earliest until they go on stage i'd imagine.

    Only after seeing this thread now, why are so many people looking to offload tickets?
