Swifties have been in a frenzy since one of the most popular singers of this generation, Taylor Swift, announced her European Tour. Much to the delight of Irish fans, Taylor announced a Dublin date for the much-anticipated Eras Tour at Aviva Stadium on Friday 28th Jun 2024. As usual, when a big name is announced, hotels hike up their prices and people scramble to book rooms at extortionate cost. There is an alternative for concertgoers however and It’s better than in your Wildest Dreams. DCU Rooms offers affordable concert accommodation for the Taylor Swift Concert in 2024. Book on our official website for our best available rates. Don’t have a Cruel Summer, when you book your affordable accommodation at DCU Rooms.
Affordable Accommodation
Quality affordable accommodation in Dublin is rare and wonderful. DCU Rooms is located outside of the city with excellent transport links to and from the Aviva Stadium. On each of our three campuses, we have a choice of rooms which are perfect for groups, families or lone travellers. We have several accommodation types to offer from private and shared rooms to entire suites, especially useful for groups or families. We have 16 one and two-bedroom visitor suites available all year round on our Glasnevin campus. Our suites have fully equipped kitchens making them more accessible and even better value for money, We offer more affordable rates than our Dublin Hotel counterparts, without compromising our high standards and fantastic guest services throughout.
Public Transport
As one of the major universities in Dublin, we’re well connected by public transport all year round. There are over a dozen regular busses from DCU that will take you to and from the city centre and it’s a short second bus ride to Aviva Stadium; perfect if you want to stop in the city for a quick bite or a few drinks before the concert. Buses from DCU include routes 3, 4, 9, 11, 13, 16, 16A, 17A, 33, 41, 41B, 41C, 46X, 103, 104 and 105. Hop on bus 4 to get as close as possible to the Aviva Stadium without changing. The fastest way to get from your Dublin accommodation to the Stadium is a combination of bus and DART, Dublin’s commuter train. Alight at the Lansdowne Road Station which is adjacent to Aviva Stadium. If you need car parking, our on-site car parks have reasonable rates per hour. We’d recommend avoiding driving to the concert as parking is limited and traffic is guaranteed to be bad.
