Looks like €10 entry with a €20 family ticket

[Moogie-69]

Ive missed most of the big shows this year so would this one be worth the trek down from Co.Down .

Oh, come on DOWN (pun definitely intended). Assuming that you're still at the same address, you're already on the main road to Dublin!

 

[Moogie-69]

Thanks for the reply's, i haven't been through the tolls in years are they all e-toll now or do they still take cash ?  Looks like ill only go through the Drogheda toll.

[WRENNEIRE]

You need to be registered to drive through, cash will do it, I think its €2.30?

[James]

Cash and etoll both accepted. It’s €2.30 on the M1 I think and something similar if you go round the M50 (must be paid online) to get to the venue, you can go through the tunnel and along the coast to avoid the M50, just takes slightly longer (not sure how easy that will be to do on Sunday though)
