FAQs – Bus to Amble at 3Arena

When will I receive my bus ticket from Irish Concert Travel?

You will receive a booking confirmation within a few minutes of making your booking. This confirmation will be emailed to the address you provided at checkout. (Please check your spam or junk folders if it does not appear in your inbox.)

Should I print the booking confirmation?

Printing is not required, but we recommend keeping a screenshot of your booking confirmation on your phone to show the Irish Concert Travel driver if requested.

Can I purchase a one-way ticket?

We only sell return bus tickets unless otherwise stated on the booking page. However, you can still use a return ticket for one-way travel — simply write “one-way travel” beside the passenger’s name during booking if that is your preference.

Can I get a refund on my ticket?

All bus tickets are non-refundable. Full details are available on our website’s Terms and Conditions page.

What time should I be at my pickup location?

Passengers should arrive at their pickup point 15 minutes before the departure time listed on the booking confirmation. This ensures the bus can depart on schedule and avoid delays.

Can backpacks or luggage be brought on the bus?

Small backpacks can be brought on board with driver approval. Larger bags or hand luggage may need to be stored in the luggage compartment. The driver may request that all bags be stored for safety reasons.

Can small bags or backpacks be left on the coach during the concert?

Yes, you may leave your bags on the coach during the concert at Aviva Stadium, but we advise against leaving valuables. Irish Concert Travel is not responsible for lost or damaged items.

How do I find the coach after the concert has finished?

Your return coach will be parked in the same area where you were dropped off before the concert. If you have difficulty locating the bus, contact the driver directly using the phone number provided on your booking confirmation.

Will the coach leave without me after the event?

Our coaches depart according to the scheduled time after the concert. If you are not back ten minutes before departure, the driver will attempt to contact you via the number you provided. If you cannot be reached or appear to be making no effort to return, the coach may depart on schedule.

What time frame do I have to return to the bus after the event?

For outdoor venues such as Aviva Stadium, buses depart approximately 40 minutes after the concert ends. Please make your way to the bus promptly once the final song finishes.

Is there a toilet on board the coach, or will there be a comfort break?

Some of our vehicles include onboard toilets, but this is not guaranteed. If your coach does not have a toilet, a 15-minute comfort break will be scheduled at motorway services along the route.

Am I allowed to drink alcohol while travelling on the bus?

No. Alcohol consumption is not permitted onboard. Sealed containers can be stored in the underfloor luggage area and collected upon arrival at the Aviva Stadium. Intoxicated passengers may be refused entry to the coach.

About Amble

Amble is a rapidly emerging Irish acoustic-folk trio known for their powerful vocal harmonies, reflective songwriting, and emotionally rich live performances. Formed in late 2022, the group consists of lifelong friends from rural Ireland who came together over a shared passion for modern folk, Irish balladry, and honest storytelling. With a name that reflects their calm, unhurried musical pace, Amble have quickly become one of the most talked-about acts in Ireland’s contemporary acoustic scene.

The band gained traction through organic growth, busking, and a series of viral acoustic videos posted on TikTok and Instagram. Their stripped-down performances — usually featuring nothing more than vocals, an acoustic guitar, and ambient Irish scenery — began pulling in hundreds of thousands of views. The trio’s harmonies and sincerity connected instantly with audiences seeking something deeper, more grounded, and undeniably Irish.

By early 2024, Amble had sold out multiple nights at Whelan’s in Dublin and received major press attention from Hot Press and The Irish Times. Their original songs “Seasons”, “All I’m Missing”, and “Seven Hours” explore themes of memory, loss, identity, and personal reflection — always delivered with a rawness that feels both timeless and contemporary. Their acoustic aesthetic draws inspiration from Irish traditional music, indie-folk, and artists like Villagers, Bon Iver, and Paul Simon.

Amble’s success has continued to build through independent releases and consistent live appearances. Despite not yet having a full-length album, the band’s early singles have amassed impressive streaming numbers and helped build a devoted following both at home and abroad. They have become favourites at folk festivals, college gigs, and cultural showcases, and their journey from local sessions to the 3Arena stage is a reflection of their deep connection with Irish audiences.

The 3Arena show on 4th, 11th and 12th December 2025 marks a major career milestone — their largest headline gig to date, and a symbolic moment for the new wave of Irish acoustic-folk. It’s more than just a concert; it’s a celebration of how music built around simplicity, emotion, and truth can still rise to great heights in the digital age.

Trivia You Might Not Know:

• The group originally met at a small music session in Clare in 2018 and kept in touch while attending different colleges.
• Amble often records their demos in cottage settings using just one microphone.

• Their acoustic session for “Seasons” was filmed in one take on the Cliffs of Moher.
• Despite their growing fame, the trio have no management — they handle bookings and promotion themselves.
