Parking Facilities
Private car parks will be available in Clonliffe College – entry via Drumcondra Road and O'Connell School – entry via North Richmond Street.
Two areas have been designated for private buses intending to drop concert goers and park up for the duration of the concert.
Mountjoy Square – the south side of the square will be completely blocked off for private coach parking. The east and north sides will also be used. Parking available for approximately 50 coaches.
Popular Row – both sides of Popular Row will be used to facilitate private coach parking.
Please Note: These arrangements will be on a first come first served basis.
Bus and coach Drop and Go Plan.
Both sides of Gardiner Street along Mountjoy Square are designated as the drop and go area for buses and coaches. This will not be used as a collection area after the event. Any operators using this facility must make prior arrangement with their passengers for collection bearing in mind the post event traffic plan.
Admittance Through Garda Cordon
All concert goers must be in possession of a valid concert ticket before they will be allowed to proceed through the ticket checks at the Garda Cordon. All areas of the stadium have designated point of entry and people should be aware of their route of entry.
Patrons in possession of alcohol or articles likely to cause harm or annoyance will be seized at the Garda cordon.
The area surrounding Croke Park is a densely populated residential area and concerts goers intending on engaging in drinking in public/general drunkenness or any forms of anti social behaviour will be dealt with firmly by Gardai.
End Of The Event
All patrons are reminded that at the end of the event they should plan their exit route and preferably exit the same way they entered. It will be dark after the concert and people may be disorientated in relation to the route they took to the event.
To ensure the safety of all patrons attending the Bon Jovi Concerts, patience is the most important issue both before and particularly after the event.
