thats just the cost of parking in dublin now. take a bus / luas / car and ride is the answer – but if you want to drive all the way there then it will cost you.

Never seen an option to book a spot in a car park.

I think you mean “Yield Based Pricing”……./s

On a Sunday evening? You’re only paying for convenience, there’s plenty of free street parking around.

I’ve never parked there but I saw they do a 6h minimum for some reason so all prices are around 50eur. Read also the (i) sign when you book, I think it says something like if you leave earlier you will be charged more, which is even more ridiculous.

This ain’t “cost of living/energy crisis” pal, this is a luxury option for people who decide they wanna drive into a theatre gig smack bang in the middle of a capital city. Most people at that gig will be taking public transport.

On street parking should be a good bit cheaper if not free at those times

Exactly the reason I’m taking the bus into Dublin city centre from Navan today.

Convention center parking is 4.20/hr or at least it was in February and it’s just across the Samuel Beckett, ~6/7 min walk. Bord Gais at 7.20 is an absolute rip off. There’s also the q park in the IFSC, bit further of a walk but think it’s 3.50/hr. Sorry you’re just getting screwed by Grand Canal/Bord Gais

If I’m not mistaking this is the parking for the board energy theatre, it’s always been a rip off because they know why people are there, ironically enough of those literally free parking about few than a minute drive from this place and other car parks are way cheaper nearby.

They’re charging you a block of 6 hours when prebooking. As opposed to you rocking up on demand to get the €7.20 per hour rate and finding no availability. It’s the price of convenience

Stop lying about the gig price. Not sure why you’d expect space for six or eight people to be cheaper than space for one person.
What do you mean by ‘allowed’? It’s a private service from a private business. There’s no laws around pricing such services, so if it’s not worth it for you, then find an alternative. It’s about ten minutes walk for Spencer Dock red Luas stop to Bord Gais, so it’s easy to use the Red Cow park and ride.

Park at red cow and get the luas???

OP, use your head here please – the 26th is a Sunday. There are literally hundreds of free on street parking spaces in that area that have no parking fees on any weekend. On top of that it’s in the evening from 6:30pm so it will be relatively quiet. You will easily get free parking, worse case it will be a 2 minute walk. Best case (and highly likely), you’ll be able to get it right outside the theatre.

I parked in blackrock for 8 minutes to use the toilet – it cost 2.50.
I was fuming

Parked there before and everyone leaves the theatre at the same time and you get stuck in a jam in the car park and then in the surrounding roads, total nightmare

Just for comparison Brown Thomas carpark which is 1 min walk from Grafton St. (you can walk directly into BT shop from the 4th floor) should be the most expensive in the country but is only 4.50 an hour and evenings it caps at 12 euro from 7 to midnight when it closes. I know it is a long walk from GC.

Sir John Rogersons Quay is a 2 min walk away and free, never had any issues
