Getting to Dublin for the GAA Hurling Final

Important Travel Tips for a Smooth Journey to Croke Park

Whether you’re traveling by car, train, or bus, it’s essential to plan ahead for a stress-free trip to Dublin. Follow these tips to ensure you arrive in plenty of time for the match and are well-prepared for the day!

🚗 Travelling by Car

• Leave Early: Dublin can get very busy, especially on match days. Allow yourself plenty of time to get to the stadium and avoid the stress of last-minute delays.

• Toll Roads: If you’re driving, be aware of tolls on your route. Allow time for tolls and have the exact change ready for the toll barriers to ensure quick and easy passage.

• Park Safely: Once you reach Dublin, be sure to park safely in a designated parking area. Follow the signs and parking instructions near the stadium, and avoid restricted zones to prevent fines.

• Phone Battery: Ensure your phone is fully charged before you head out. You will need it to access your ticket and for any travel updates during the day.

🚆 Travelling by Train (From Cork)

• Train Availability: Irish Rail has informed us that all trains are sold out for Sunday’s All-Ireland Final. If you’ve already booked your train, make sure you are on the correct train and arrive at the station in plenty of time to board.

• No Train Switching: Please note that switching between trains is not possible, so make sure your travel plans are final and confirmed.

• Arrival Time: Allow time for travel from the station to the stadium. Dublin can be busy, so planning ahead for your onward journey is essential.

🚌 Travelling by Bus (Public or Private)

• Know Your Departure Location: Whether you are traveling on a public bus or a private coach, it’s crucial to know exactly where your bus will depart from in Cork. Make sure to confirm the departure time and meeting point well in advance.

• Departure in Dublin: Once you arrive in Dublin, ensure you are clear on your meeting point and departure location from the city. Double-check with the bus company about times for both departure from Cork and when you’ll be picked up in Dublin after the match.

• Bus Timings: Ensure you know the exact departure times from both Cork and Dublin to avoid any confusion. Buses often depart shortly after events, so be sure to give yourself enough time to reach the departure point after the match.

🎟️ Ticket Access and Entry to Croke Park

• Digital or Printed Ticket: Make sure you have your ticket ready for entry. If you’re using a digital ticket, ensure it’s downloaded to your phone and added to your wallet. If you have a printed ticket, have it ready and easily accessible.

• Ticket Ready: At the stadium, have your ticket ready to be scanned at the turnstile. Double-check your phone’s battery to ensure the ticket can be scanned without issues.

⚠️ Other Reminders

• Stay Safe and Aware: Always be mindful of your surroundings during travel, and adhere to any safety guidelines in place.
