Please note that all other nationalities (except Irish or British citizens) require a passport. They should also check with their respective embassies before travelling as they may need a visa.

Passengers who arrive at our ports without current valid documentation may not be allowed to enter either Ireland or Britain.  Useful means of identification when travelling on these routes include:

  • Valid passport
  • Photographic Driving License
  • International Student Card
  • Government issued photographic ID cards
  • Health insurance/social security photographic ID cards
  • Photographic bus/train pass
  • Place of work photographic ID
  • Birth certificates (for under 18’s with no photo ID)

WHERE ARE THE TICKETS LOCATED AND ARE THEY ALL TOGETHER?

Match tickets will always be situated in the home supporters section of the stadium. Exact location depends on the team and the stadium you chose to visit.

Tickets may not be located together as a whole but you will be seated as close as possible together will an adult allocated to each ticket group.
