Thomond Park, one of Ireland’s most iconic stadiums, is known for its electric atmosphere during major concerts and sporting events.

Our coaches are comfortable and event-ready: climate-controlled interiors, reclining seats, USB ports (on most vehicles), and space for small bags or Wolfe Tones memorabilia. Once the final chorus fades out into the Limerick night, you’ll rejoin your bus at the same drop-off location — with a 30-minute grace period built in to allow everyone to return without pressure or panic.

- Please arrive at your pickup point 10 minutes early
- Have your digital ticket or printed confirmation ready to board
- Dress in layers — Irish evenings can get cool even in July
- Small snacks and water are allowed onboard (no alcohol permitted)
