Frequently Asked Questions

Are The Tickets any good?

Destination Dublin has a set allocation with each venue which is clearly marked in the booking engine. If you would like alternative seats we offer an upgrade option which guarantees you premium tickets. If you are not sure we advise you book a non-ticketed package and follow the link to Ticketmaster where you can book specific seats numbers.

How Do I Collect My Tickets?

Tickets for the theatre or entertainment packages will be collected from the box office of the venue on the night of the show using your own name. If requested we can arrange for the tickets to be left at your hotel but recommend that they are picked up from the box office.

Will the Hotel have my booking?

Yes, all hotels get immediate notification at the time of booking. We are in daily contact with each hotel & venue listed on Destination Dublin. Like any other website you just need to print & present your email confirmation upon arrival at your hotel.

What do I pay at the time of booking?

We must charge 100% of the value of the package at the time of booking. A charge will appear on your credit card statement from Destdub Ltd. We have to charge 100% at the time of booking as Destination Dublin is required to pay for the Tickets & hotel accommodation within 24 hours. If you are booking a larger group and cannot pay the full amount at the time please contact us on 01 9059001 and we can try to arrange something for you. Any extras must be paid directly to the hotel upon checkout.

What if I need to cancel my booking?

Any tickets purchased as part of a package are non refundable along with a €15 per person cancellation charge. The tickets will be posted out to you at the time of booking and can be given away in the event that you cannot make it to the show. If you are unable to attend a show we must receive notice within 48 hours or you will be charged the full price of the package.

Do you offer transport to the venue from the hotel?

Some hotel’s offer shuttle buses between the venue and the hotel for a small fee. This will be highlighted in the hotel description on the site. If you are part of 16 or more we can organise bus transfers for you.

Can I change the name on my booking?

For packages which do not include transport it is up to guest to organise their own transport between the venue and the hotel. Hotel receptions can provide details and prices of transportation. Some hotels do offer shuttle bus service at a small extra cost.

Where is the dinner served?

Dinner, where possible, is served in the hotel restaurant, however sometimes it is served in the hotel bar. Destination Dublin cannot garuntee that the dinner will be served in the restaurant.

Do you take deposits on group bookings?
