Getting there

DART to Lansdowne Road or Sandymount, both a short walk away. Dublin Bus 4, 7, 7a and 27X and Go-Ahead 18 and S2 run from the city centre. There's no direct Luas.
Taxis drop off and pick up at the Green Gate. Aircoach 702 from the airport stops on Merrion Road in front of the main entrance.
Parking at the Anglesea Road and Simmonscourt Road car parks costs around €10 a day (it varies by event).
Printing your e-ticket speeds up entry; if you use your phone, download the QR code first rather than relying on the venue's internet. Tickets are sold at the door unless sold out, at a higher price.

With a Nimbus Access Card showing +1 or +2, your personal assistant gets a free entry ticket (they must be over 16 and stay with you).
With a Nimbus queuing symbol, you can get Fast-Track Entry. Guest autograph and photo fast track is separate and limited: ask for it with each auto or photo ticket.
Order these ahead from Ticket Quarter (Monopolyaccessibility@ticketquarter.co.uk) with your order number and Nimbus details; they can't be issued at the con.
The RDS is wheelchair accessible throughout, with lifts to the first floor. Disabled parking is in the Merrion Road and Simmonscourt car parks, first come, first served.
Guide and assistance dogs are welcome everywhere.

Everyone needs a ticket. Under 5s are free but still need one, and under 16s must be with a paying adult.
No smoking or vaping inside; there are smoking areas outside.
Free Wi-Fi on the RDS-WIFI network.

There's a cash machine in Hall 1, but bring some cash anyway.
Guest tables and photo areas have card machines; you can pay cash or card for autographs and photos on the day if any are left. Autographs on the day are usually sold only after 12pm.
Most traders take cards, but check first. The RDS takes euros only; some traders may take pounds.

Not allowed: metal blades (swords, axes, knives), bats, realistic-looking guns, strung bows and crossbows, gas canisters, sharp or protruding nails, and laser pointers.
Fine: unrealistic and toy guns, imitation firearms with a brightly coloured tip, unstrung bows, and slings without ammo. Props are checked at the door and can be taken away.
No nudity or fetish wear, no naked flames, and costumes no bigger than 3 metres across.

RDS Hospitality runs restaurants and cafés inside, including the 1881 Restaurant and Ring Café.
You can't bring in food or drink bought outside the RDS. For allergies or dietary needs, contact the venue.
We couldn't find water refill points listed by Comic Con Ireland or the RDS.

Accessible toilets in every hall. They're unisex, with alarm pull cords. There's no Changing Places toilet at the RDS.
Baby changing in some toilets; ask staff for the nearest.
We couldn't find other gender-neutral toilets listed by Comic Con Ireland or the RDS.

Trained first aiders are on site during opening hours. Ask the nearest staff member.

Strict consent policy: ask before taking a photo with a cosplayer, and before any physical contact. Not sure? Don't touch.
We couldn't find a harassment policy from Comic Con Ireland that names gender identity or sexual orientation.
