No clear information of where to go at the end of Pearl Jam gig.
We were dropped on Grange rd on the way to the gig which was very handy, and all we knew was the pick up point was going to be the same place. Once we were out there was no sign or indication, no sight of any bus on the road, nobody seemed to know about Marathon buses, so we walked up and down the road for about 40 min, we were sent in opposite directions by a garda and later a steward, came across a group of people also in the same situation saying they were mislead as well.. complete confusion and frustration! we ended up taking a taxi and spent another 40 Euro, a complete disappointment.

We are disappointed that you had a bad experience with your trip to Marlay Park. Please get in touch with our customer services team and we will look into your poor experience on the day.
We do provide detailed information before the concert and on the day we issued a wristband with the location of where you can get the bus back after the concert in Marlay Park.
Please give us an opportunity to try and resolve this for you.

It wasn’t a Marathon Trip
Easy pick up and drop offs, coach clean and comfortable, and a safe journey from Dublin City Centre to Leopardstwon Races and back. Will definitely book again, oh and a fair price.

Great to be able to get a bus direct from the City Centre to Rockathon. Only suggestion is that maybe one or two earlier buses might be better.
