Title: Dublin rip offs and how to avoid
Post by: T Fearon on November 22, 2017, 09:06:12 PM
I attended the Bord Gais Energy Theatre last night, where the evening car park rate,normally concessionary,from 6pm to midnight,was a whopping €13.You would pay £4 max in Belfast.

How to avoid should be very obvious

Surely it's all worth it when you're on your holidays to what you consider a foreign country?

As David McWilliams said, Nordies should complain less about the prices in Dublin and complain more that they are not paid the wages which allows you easily pay these prices.

I am sorry but €13 for an evening rate car park charge is excessive,whether you're a Prince or Pauper.The very same company charges £4 evening rate in one of the main car parks in Belfast City Centre.

Unfortunately the Bord Gais Energy Theatre isn't in Belfast.

I'd venture to say Clerys is much cheaper again.Live and learn,was a bit pushed for time on Tuesday night but I'll not be paying €13 again.

Free parking after 7 around most of the quays and areas around the Bord Gais. Don't see the issue, only really 7 euros more that you "anticipated"; and being a "greedy" landlord should have you rolling in it. Sure the 7 euros would even keep you in Nachos and Mistrals for 5 mins.

I had a bad experience in Dublin once ,at the Olympia Theatre.Parked in a side street,returned to find window smashed and car stereo (remember them?) stolen.Long time ago,but still wouldn't take a chance at night ever again,leaving car on street in Dublin.€13 to park car for a few hours at the theatre during an evening is scandalous.

That will teach you not to leave your Rangers scarf on the back window
