How to get to Marlay Park

Promoters MCD are advising attendees at Tuesday night's gig to give themselves at least two hours to get to the gig at Marlay Park on Tuesday night. Traffic is expected to be heavy in the area, so public transport is most recommended.

Here are all the ways you can reach the venue:

Dublin Bus

There are a couple of Dublin Bus routes that can drop you off near Marlay Park. The number 14 and 75 bus will take you to Ballinteer Shopping Centre, then it's just a short 10 minute walk to the venue.

The numbers 16, 116, and 161 buses also serve the Grange Road entrances of Marlay Park close to the concert site.

Luas

The Luas green line will be running from the city centre to Dundrum and Balally. There's also a shuttle bus from Dundrum Luas station to Marlay Park departs every half hour from 2pm for both shows.

If you fancy a walk, it's a 35-minute stroll to Marlay Park from the Dundrum Luas stop.

Private bus coaches

A concert shuttle bus by Marathon Sports Travel is the most direct form of transport to the concert, and the drop-off point is directly outside Marlay Park.

Car

Concertgoers who are driving from the city centre can access the mark via Ranelagh, Clonskeagh, Goatstown, Sandyford, Grange Road and then onto College Road for car parks. If you're taking the M50, exit M50 at Junction 13 Interchange (Dundrum).

The car park entrance is located on College Road and is accessed via Whitechurch Road. Only those who have pre-booked parking will be permitted entry into the car park.

Tickets

While tickets for Def Leppard and Motley Crue's Marlay Park gig are in high demand, there are still resale tickets popping up on Ticketmaster for tomorrow's gig.

Organisers have advised ticket holders to download, save or print their tickets well in advance of arriving at the venue to avoid any issues or entry delays. Ticketmaster box offices and guest list services will be located at the Grange Road and College Road entrances of Marlay Park.
